2-Star Hotels in Nara Prefecture, Japan

A beautiful and modern hostel. Unfortunately I never met any staff member and also no one cleaned or arranged the beds, while I was there. All the lights remained on, even in the dorm and there’s no possibility to turn them off. The dorm itself was unfortunately also quite cold, while all the other spaces were warm and cozy. Otherwise everything was okay. There was a nice common space. But in general it doesn’t feel very safe and organized, as anyone can just enter the hostel and the dorm without any key or password.

Located a bit west of Nara, the Chinese owner is very welcoming and easy to communicate with. They also offer bike rentals, and the prices are very affordable. Overall, it's a pretty good option.

Nice and chill reception. Really feels cozy and informal. Room was clean and simple, tatami mat floor and futon, very comfortable. The warming blanket was amazing! Toilet was super clean, which was such a relief. Very quiet neighbourhood. Close to buss tops and a giant bookshop/starbucks.

It’s a really lovely old Japanese house, but it’s really not been made over into a guest house at all. 1. There are pictures of a bath. It is not in the hotel it is just a separate public bath you have to pay for… 2. They charge for everything including “renting” towels and yukata 3. No noise blocking at all and kids are allowed. It sounds like they are in your room 4. Contactless check in doesn’t feel very safe

Pleasant stay with my husband, mum and auntie. The place was clean and very near the the shopping street. There is no lift, elderly might have trouble with their heavy luggage. The 2 private onsen bath has to be 'reserved' by taking the timing key chains at the counter.

翌朝一番の電車で吉野駅まで行って吉野山の桜を見ようと素泊まりで止まりました。和室の部屋を予約しましたが、部屋の中は一通り必要な物は全部そろっていて、トイレとお風呂は共同ですが、新しい設備でとても綺麗でした。チェックアウトは早朝は鍵を置いて出ていけばよいとのことで朝6時には宿をたち、予定通り朝一番の電車で吉野まで行けました。まだ人の少ない吉野山を朝靄の中登り始められ、午前中には吉野山の桜を満喫できました。１つだけ、朝コーヒーを飲もうと部屋のポットで作りましたが、すでにぬるくなっていて、共有スペースにあるポットは電源が入っておらず水でした。しょうがないので、ぬるく作ったコーヒーを共有スペースにある電子レンジで温めて飲みました。共有スペースのポットでお湯が飲めたらよかったなあと思いました。

The location is right in the shopping street and also at the Kintetsu exit, it is only 15 minutes to go to the park. The staff is warm and courteous, the hot springs are fine but quiet enough. The hotel is old but tidy, there is no daily necessities except old towels, including a blow dryer in the hot spring area, and there is nothing towels lock. Of course, this price can't be too much, remember this is a hotel. I was impressed by the invincible location and courteous staff, I can't say whether I like it or not.

Behind Kofuku-ji Temple, the location is very good, you can see Sarusawa Pond from the window, and there are deer downstairs Service: The owner is an elderly Japanese couple, very kind, and gave the children a deer souvenir Facilities: The bathroom is a bit small, and children may bump into things when using the toilet

Lovely Japanese style in with a great location near Nara park. Owner spoke good English and was very kind and helpful. Room was clean and stuff like towels and a toothbrush were provided. The Onsen is open from 17:00 to 23:00 and was a great experience. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Very good homestay. It was already around 10 o'clock in the evening. Although it was very late, the aunt came out very enthusiastically to check in for me. You can also smoke indoors. The room is large and the facilities are all available, as well as a TV and bathtub. If you come to Nara Tianli, this is the best choice for staying. I highly recommend everyone to stay here!
