Great location, friendly and helpful staff. Shared facilities were clean and comfortable. Can’t really want for much more.

Hotel with an excellent location next to Nara Park. There is a small kitchen on the floor. The room (dormitory) has a toilet and two showers. There are also showers and toilets on the floor. The bed is normal, but the bed linen is very rough and when someone moves you can hear it a lot.

It was conveniently located near Nara Park and had free parking. The bath in the room was a little strange, but it was quiet and nice. The electric kettle was broken. The staff were kind and friendly, which was nice.

The biggest advantage is that it is in the core area of the scenic area, which is very convenient. It is also suitable for traveling alone. The five-person room has good light and privacy isolation, and the room is equipped with a shared bathroom.

The house should be a converted grocery room or staff dormitory. There are only two small lights emitting weak light inside, and a wardrobe-like space filled with bedding. The female toilet is separate from the bathroom. There is no charging station on the upper bunk, only on the lower bunk. Except for being close to Nara Park, there are no other advantages.

This time, I chose Hotel Pagoda because it has easy access to Naramachi. I was glad that I could get around to various places efficiently from early in the morning.
As for other things, I didn't pay much attention to them, so it was neither good nor bad.

The location is great for sightseeing around Kasuga Taisha, Nara Park, and Todaiji Temple. You can be active in the morning. Since it's a hostel, there are no common areas or entrances to the beds, so it's fine as long as you don't mind someone snoring or other noises. However, the bed is quite thin and hard, so if you have a cushion mat, it's a good idea to bring it with you. It's like a capsule hotel with a higher ceiling. There is a toilet and shower in the room.
You are given a small electronic key, but I didn't really understand what it was for until the end.

In order to experience tatami accommodation, I stayed here for one night.
The location is super good, right next to the Sarushaku Pond in Nara Park, not far from JR Nara Station and Konishi Street.
The tatami room is relatively small, but fortunately there is a large cupboard. The mattress is quite comfortable.
Given the super beautiful price, it doesn't matter that we only have a shared bathroom and toilet. Even if it is the price of a domestic guesthouse, the clean quality is very reassuring~

A bare-bones hotel.
I went to bed early, but was woken up late at night by several foreigners coming in and talking loudly.

The location is perfect for quick access to Nara Park. My flight was delayed, and they kindly waited for me until I arrived.
I highly recommend this hotel.
