This was a lovely surprise as we tried hostels first time on our trip. It was new and fresh and had all necessary amenities you might need. Also you can rent a bike to sightsee (def the recommended way even though we just walked). The beds were comfy and the linen clean and good. We got a room as we were two and that was very nice. The fully serviced kitchen has all appliances for cooking yourself and a big grocery store just a few min away. The place is also just a 7 min walk to main Sanjo dori where lots of eateries and shops are and about 10 min to Nara park with lots of sights. Would def stay here again.
