This was actually my first stay in a hostel, and neither the place nor the host disappointed. It was small but cozy and clean and fully functional. There are two main rooms, a toilet room, and a shower and sink area. My friend and I stayed for one night, and there happened to be only three other guests with us who all stayed in the other room, so we got lucky and had one room to ourselves. Their room was separated by divider only, however, so they did have to go through our room to access the rest of the house. The place itself is in a prime location right off of Naramachi, so you're right in the middle of the action with plenty of places to grab food. From the time we checked in around 3:30 pm, the host was present and amicable, and we ended up talking with him for an hour while we ate the food we brought, and he offered us tea. He was extremely helpful in showing us around the hostel and explaining how things worked, but he also didn't hover and left us to relax when we wanted. Overall, it was a great place to stay for an extremely favorable price and really topped off our weekend trip to Nara.

Fantastic Stay

Very good location for the deer park and other sights. 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.

Nice staff

It is close to two station.Very nice staff at there.

This is a traditional and cozy Japanse-styled guest house:
excellent location for every main sight-seeing sites; clean rest and shower rooms; convenient kitchen for cooking with the supply of sugar, salt and soy sauce and a variety of cooking utensils including a rice cooker; relaxing and homey ambiance; a small lovely Japanese garden.
The manager is friendly and helpful in explaining popular sites.

Traditional and cozy Japanese-styled guest house

Everything was as described on the website and guest ratings are true. 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.

Backpackers dream place

The host there is amazing and the friendly, able to speak several languages to communicate with the wide variety of tourists that come. Space is a bit small but if your backpacking it's not bad and a great experience. Close to a lot of the UNESCO World Heritage centers and the Nara bowing deers.

Amazing guesthouse

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)

Very nice stay!

Great location.Clean place.The owner is a funny young man and I had a wonderful night there.Look forward to staying at Deer guesthouse again someday.

Lovely
