    We had a wonderful stay at Deer Hostel. the staff was incredibly sweet and caring, and the facilities, while not overly fancy, were comfortable and just what we needed. the location of the hostel was perfect, as it was very close to the JR station, the main street, and the park with the deer. We also appreciated how clean everything was, as the place had recently been renovated. there was a laundromat just a minute away and plenty of food options and convenience stores within walking distance.

    Didn't dislike anything about the property. 😊.

    loved the vibe of the place, right between Nara stations. Best stay so far. Great staff, no curfew, secure lockers, and hot showers. Met cool people. Private showers. Definitely coming back.

    Bathroom door couldn't lock.

    The Mini Inn is a brand new hotel with comfortable beds, spacious rooms, and both air-conditioning and controlled ventilation for fresh air. the kitchen is well-equipped with a fridge and dishes. the location is excellent, near a shopping street and close to both the JR and Kintetsu train lines, making it easy to explore the sights.

    Felt like part of the family, no complaints whatsoever.

    For the price we paid, we got incredible value. The room was clean and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere of the hostel was very calming. The location was excellent, allowing us to easily explore Nara and even take a quick trip to Kyoto.

    The morning meal could have been improved with more variety.

    Our stay at Nara Deer Hostel was exceptional. The location was great, with easy access to trains, buses, and the famous deer in Nara. The hostel had a laundry and kitchen available, making our stay even more convenient. The check-in and check-out process was smooth, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. They even provided us with helpful advice on places to visit and how to get there. I highly recommend this hostel for its affordability, great location, and helpful staff.

    I recently stayed at the Deer Hostel in Nara for a few nights. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and gave us great advice on exploring the city. The location was perfect, with easy access to trains, buses, and the famous deer park. The room was cozy and warm, with a double bed and even a bunk bed, which was unexpected but nice. The private bathroom had a tub with good hot water, although a little patience was needed for it to heat up. Checking in and out was hassle-free, and the hostel had laundry and kitchen facilities available. a great stay at a very affordable price.

    I can recommend this hotel.

    During my recent stay, I had a wonderful time at a charming hostel conveniently located near Nara Station. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and accommodated my needs. I even made a mistake during check-out, but they were understanding and allowed me to stay until I was ready to leave. The hostel's proximity to Nara Station made it incredibly convenient for exploring the city and its famous deer park. I definitely recommend this hostel for a relaxing and enjoyable stay in Nara.

    We had a great stay at this cozy and homey hostel. The public area was comfortable, with sofa and dining tables that made us feel at home. The luggage storage point had a 24hr camera, which was reassuring. The staff was friendly, and we were even greeted with a sweet and juicy persimmon upon arrival. The location was convenient, within walking distance to the train stations and temple. Although the walks were a bit lengthy, it was manageable, with a maximum of 30 minutes to Todaiji. The room was clean, and despite sharing the small space with others, we would definitely choose this property again for its local feel.

    I stayed at Deer Hostel for a few days and it was perfect for exploring the area. Convenient location near the train station, which made it easy to visit Kyoto. The hostel has a comforting vibe with relaxing music playing in the background. The manager provided excellent service by accommodating our room request. Family of four had their own room with a designated bathroom. The hostel is good value for money with a homey feel and comfortable beds. The dormitory was spacious and well-maintained. Lovely, friendly, and helpful staff.

    Strongly recommend this hostel.

    I recently stayed at the Nara Deer Hostel for 2 nights and I couldn't have been happier. The whole place was clean and inviting, with comfy beds that had curtains for privacy. Each bed had its own plug socket and night light, and there were small lockers available. The staff went above and beyond, allowing me to check in late without any issues. The location was perfect, within walking distance of all the attractions. I would definitely stay here again.

    Would definitely recommend this hotel.

    Great location with easy access to trains, buses, and attractions. Affordable prices and good value for money.- Friendly and helpful staff who provide advice on places to visit.

    Lack of proper amenities for women, such as no bin for hygiene products. Noisy beds that make movement annoying.

    We had a great time exploring the beautiful city and staying at a comfortable hostel. The location was perfect, with easy access to train stations and attractions like the deer park and temples. The facility was clean and modern, and the staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed meeting fellow travelers and the atmosphere was welcoming. The dorms had secure lockers and private showers with hot water. It was a great base for our adventures in the city.

    The shoe rack at the entrance could have been bigger to accommodate everyone's shoes.
