We had a fantastic experience at this guesthouse. The beautiful traditional atmosphere and peaceful location really added to the charm of our stay. The staff was friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome throughout our visit. The communal kitchen and free coffee and tea were nice bonuses. we highly recommend this place!

Traditional Japanese house, over 100 years old. Owned by a young Japanese guy, whose dream is to open such a backpacker's hostel. The host is very nice, and you can meet friends from different part of the world. My wife and I spent a very good night in the lobby.

True Japanese style house. Didn't find more authentic during my holidays.

I had an absolute blast staying at this lovely backpackers ryokan style guesthouse! The traditional Japanese house was simply stunning, with beautiful gardens and a peaceful atmosphere. I also loved the ideal location, just a short walk from Nara Park and the train station. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel right at home. The lounge area even had a gorgeous view of the garden. I highly recommend this guesthouse for a truly authentic and enjoyable experience.

Typical Ryokan. the most beautiful and realistic i've been. if you want live the real Ryokan experience you have to sleep in this one. The owner are very nice and very helpful. they gave us many good advise for sightseeing and eating. thank you very much for this great expérience in Nara

Next time i will come back in spring or in automn because it's really hard to sleep good without climatisation in summer time

Authentic Japanese style Tatami Room in a beautiful traditional house and very friendly and helpful host. Highly recommended!

The traditional Japanese style house was charming and beautiful. Great location, close to Nara Park and a local shopping street.-Staff was friendly and proficient in English.

Some of the futons were a bit thin and the walls were very thin. There were mosquitoes in the area, so bringing mosquito repellent is recommended.

Excellent place to stay for those on a budget. Just a few minutes to Nara park and the main attractions. Very friendly, competent couple running the hostel. Very good atmosphere. Would definitely stay there again!

I like everything about Guesthouse Nara Backpackers. The rooms are super clean, super nice, it's an old tea house. It's adorable, and well located. The owners are super nice!!!

The dormitory-style bunk beds at this hostel are like cozy little caves, complete with reading lights, power outlets, and privacy curtains. It felt like having my own personal hideaway!

Location slightly hidden

Staff really friendly and nice!! Very lovely place, traditional ryokan.perfect to stay if you want to visit nara! I strongly recommend it to any travelers

Air conditioning was missing in the double room where we slept the first night

The building is ancient but not old, with a pretty yard which I liked very much.It is near the scenes and JR station, so it is very convenient. The bed is comfortable. The kitchen offers all you need if you'd like to cooking. And, the host and hostess are friendly. As a whole, it is a great experience to live there.

I think, nothing.

stayed at a lovely guesthouse in nara, similar to my previous visit. this time, guesthouse nara backpackers really stood out with their friendly staff, authentic atmosphere, and beautiful garden. it was a perfect location to explore nara park and the city center. i'll definitely go back for a chance to pet the deer again!

Inconvenient distance from the train station.

Super friendly boss ,helpful,can speak English very well,great location to JR and NAra park.amazing house ,beautiful Japanese garden,super clean,nice price,wonderful!!

The hostel itself is a traditional Japanese building with more than 100 years history.It is kind of unique.I love the smell of the building and the garden inside.The owner are very friendly and informative.

Some of the facilities are old but very acceptable considering the history of the building.
