Host service is so bad , no luggage store that's is so unconvinced ,and I feel hot cuz my bed is most inside and up bed one , I ask the host to turn air conditioning bigger , but he rejected me :( , I would live here again. It's so bad . 這是我在10天旅行中，住最貴的一間，但服務跟感受卻是最糟的。老闆服務太度差，而且還不能寄放行禮，超不方便，且我在我的床覺得很熱，因為我床在最裡面且是上舖，我請老闆將冷氣開強一點，但他拒絕我，說已經調25度了：（ 真的是很糟的一間，不推！！ ##### chihhsuan ### 10/10 Excellent #### YURIA Oct 12, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 東大寺観光至便の清潔なゲストハウス 私はドミトリースペースを利用しましたが、トイレとシャワー、水回りが快適で非常に整形。共有スペースは広くくつろげました。ベッドは大きな棚のような形状ですが、日本人的には十分な広さ。遮光カーテンがしっかりしており、個人の空間を楽しめます。とにかく清潔です。オーナー夫妻がとても親切・気さくで、とても気分良く滞在できました。ロケーションが東大寺裏手の住宅地で静か。朝の美しさは格別の場所です。周辺を鹿がうろついてます。また行きたいです。 ##### YURIA
