Arrived earlier than check in time but the hostel had send an email with the door code so we were able to leave our luggage and head out to see the sights. Rooms are a little tight and there are no curtains on the bunks but the beds are comfortable enough and the hostel was very clean. Staff member also gave us some good advice on free activities which was excellent. ##### Collette Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Oct 3, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### 급하게 숙소가 필요하다면 위치는 아주 만족함 킨테츠나라역에 내려서 상점가를 지나면 됨 가격만을 생각하면 정말 훌륭한 곳임 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Sep 22, 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great location and the staff were super friendly and seemed apologetic about the condition of the property. That said this hostel was just not for me. SUPER small common area, only one restroom per gender and one shower for everyone. The kitchen, patio and common area was cluttered. This place would be ok if it was one of my hippy friends places and they were letting me crash for the night. It wasn't what I expect for something I paid for and is a professional business. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### 。。 Aug 23, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 宿の目の前に自販機もあり、近くにスーパー、コンビニ、銀行等のあらゆる施設が有るので便利だった。 また、奈良に来たら泊まりにきたい。 ##### 。。 Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### じま Aug 12, 2018 Liked: Staff & service 古民家の面影が残っている懐かしい雰囲気の宿でした。 リフォームしてシャワールームやトイレは新品です。 駅から近く街中にあるので奈良の社寺めぐりに最適。 宿の隣にある自販機が良心的な価格なのと、徒歩２分のところにファミマがあるので、談話のお供を調達するのに、困りません。 ##### じま Stayed 1 night in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### dd Jul 27, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 駅に近い宿泊施設 とても素敵な和風の建物で、日本の文化を味わえる。また、駅にも近いので買い物するにも便利。とてもオススメできる。 ##### dd Stayed 1 night in Jul 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### X Jul 24, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Deer Guesthouse is very centrally located in Nara - close to the Station and points of interest. It is also very inexpensive. It was pretty clean. It is quite a small place. Also, there is very little security- no locks on any of the inner doors and the manager's presence is unpredictable. The outer door has a lock but it was always open whenever I came in or left. There are small lockers to store valuables. The manager was helpful in giving useful information about the area. You can use the washer/dryer for 300 yen. The place is very low key, so it was quite easy to meet other travelers. ##### X Stayed 1 night in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### aa Apr 16, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort It is close to two station.

You get a great welcome from the two people running the guest house. It was cold outside and I was immediately offered a cup of hot tea. Washing and shower area great. Bedrooms very warm and plenty of space for your back pack. All beds have two sockets for charging phones etc. Great little music bar just 3 doors away. All beers, spirits and cocktails. Gin & Tonic great. ##### Gary Stayed 1 night in Nov 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aya Nov 14, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 古民家ゲストハウス ・立地・ 奈良公園、ならまち等の観光地へアクセスしやすい場所です。駅から近いので飲食店や土産物屋が多く、とても便利です。 ・設備・ トイレとシャワー室が男性用と女性用に分かれています。女性用トイレは女性専用ドミトリーから近いので寝ぼけていても安心。シャワー室は新しく、清潔感があります。シャンプーとコンディショナーが何種類か置いてあるので、自分が好きなものを選ぶことができました。 寝室は隙間風が入るので、普段より暖かい寝間着を持っていくことをオススメします。 ・最後に・ オーナーさんがとても親切で、様々な疑問やお願いにも応えて下さいました。 また奈良に行った際はこちらのゲストハウスを使いたいです。 ##### Aya Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2017 ### 4/10 Poor #### みっち Nov 6, 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### サービスは愛想ではなく親切心から こちらの我儘に応えてくれたものの、申し訳ないが、ピントがずれていた。 よく使われるFRIENDLYとは、愛想が良い、ではなく、相手の視線に立つ ことでしょう。 ##### みっち Stayed 1 night in Nov 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Tilly Aug 2, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service This hostel was in a great location, but is very small and cramped inside, great if you are travelling light, not so great if you are backpacking and have big rucksacks, there was nowhere to put them apart from in the beds. ##### Tilly Stayed 1 night in Jul 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Horace Jul 17, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Hotel close to the subway, walk within 10 minutes Easy to find out the location, near the main shop street ##### Horace Stayed 1 night in Jul 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Samantha May 12, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very nice stay! I really enjoyed my stay here. The owners/managers are very considerate, helpful people and made me feel welcome right away, which, traveling alone, I really appreciated. Deer Guesthouse is very close to the big attractions in Nara, the main temples and the Nara Deer Park. There's also a lot of nice shops nearby and tasty, affordable places to eat. Deer Guesthouse has more of an older, traditional Japanese style, with sliding screens, a small garden in the middle, tatami mats etc. Though it is an older, traditional style, the WiFi was very reliable. The owner also speaks good English and he knows all about Nara and the surrounding area, so there is no trouble getting around. I thought it was very quaint and cozy as well as affordable. I would definitely stay here again and I would recommend it to others. (Sidenote; there is also a location in town called Deer Hostel which might confuse Google Maps, be sure to search Deer Guesthouse) ##### Samantha
