町家

こじんまりとした感じですが、アットホームな環境を味わえました。 町家を改装しているので、今後もっと工夫すれば、良い味わいも醸し出せると思いました。

Nice place, very convenient.

It was very convenient but the bed was very cold. The upper bunks were hot so I wore my jacket and two pants to sleep. Otherwise a nice hostel. Nowhere to hang anything in the bathroom and shower area. Nice if towels were included.

Nice staff

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.

4/10 Fair

Great location and the staff were super friendly and seemed apologetic about the condition of the property. That said this hostel was just not for me. SUPER small common area, only one restroom per gender and one shower for everyone. The kitchen, patio and common area was cluttered. This place would be ok if it was one of my hippy friends places and they were letting me crash for the night. It wasn't what I expect for something I paid for and is a professional business.

宿の目の前に自販機もあり、近くにスーパー、コンビニ、銀行等のあらゆる施設が有るので便利だった。 また、奈良に来たら泊まりにきたい。

古民家の面影が残っている懐かしい雰囲気の宿でした。 リフォームしてシャワールームやトイレは新品です。 駅から近く街中にあるので奈良の社寺めぐりに最適。 宿の隣にある自販機が良心的な価格なのと、徒歩２分のところにファミマがあるので、談話のお供を調達するのに、困りません。

駅に近い宿泊施設

とても素敵な和風の建物で、日本の文化を味わえる。また、駅にも近いので買い物するにも便利。とてもオススメできる。

6/10 Good

Deer Guesthouse is very centrally located in Nara - close to the Station and points of interest. It is also very inexpensive. It was pretty clean. It is quite a small place. Also, there is very little security- no locks on any of the inner doors and the manager's presence is unpredictable. The outer door has a lock but it was always open whenever I came in or left. There are small lockers to store valuables. The manager was helpful in giving useful information about the area. You can use the washer/dryer for 300 yen. The place is very low key, so it was quite easy to meet other travelers.

离近铁奈良站挺近的，可步行到奈良公园、东大寺和春日大社。但洗衣服300日元，寄存行李1000日元的一些收费感觉有点那个。。日式小旅馆，木的房子隔音都不怎么样，不过我睡得晚倒没关系。总的来说，还是性价比挺好的。

奈良の中心地

近鉄奈良駅を使って、宿に向かったんですが行く途中で道を間違えて迷ってしまいました。早速宿に電話をして場所を確認しようとしたら、宿のオーナが親切に迎えに来てくれました。 そして、その後の対応も親身に観光のご相談にものってくれて、奈良で良い滞在になりました。 また、ここに来ます。

お得で賢い奈良の旅のオススメ！

お得で賢い奈良の旅をしたいなら、絶対ディアーゲストハウスがおすすめです。 宿泊費を抑えることができたおかげで、その分、美味しいものをたくさん食べたり、あちこちの観光もできました。新しくて快適なベッド、シャワー、おトイレにも大満足。おまけにオーナーや色々な国のゲストの方達とのコミュニケーションも楽しめました。駅、観光地、買い物、食事、銭湯も近くて便利。次回の奈良の旅もディアーゲストハウスしかありません。

楽しかった初めてのひとり旅

　明るく優しいオーナーさんのおかげで、初めてのひとり旅の不安は、一瞬にして払拭されました。 　若くして起業されただけあって、そのpowerfulさに、元気をもらえました。 　また、知識、情報力、言語力も豊富で、親身になって色々アドバイスをいただき助かりました。 　開業されてまだ1年ということで、シャワールーム（シャンプー、コンディショナー、ボディーソープが常備されています。）、おトイレは新しく、ベッドマットも寝心地よく、清掃もいきとどいていて清潔でした。 　また、徒歩数秒のところに便利なスーパーマーケットがあります。キッチンには一通りの調理器具、食器､電子レンジ、オーブントースター、炊飯器、ポット、冷蔵庫、コンロも揃っているので、食材や冷凍食品を買っての調理も可能です。その上、他の様々なお店、観光地、駅（近鉄、JR 奈良駅）、温泉も徒歩圏内で、おまけにreasonable。 　奈良らしいtraditionalな空間に癒され、感謝の念しかありません。 　リピーター、長期滞在者が多いのも納得です。 　また奈良にきたら、ディアーゲストハウスに必ず来ます！！

アットホームとは言うけれど

奈良一番のアットホームな宿を目指しているとのことですが、受付の従業員はタメ口だし、同室の常連客は0時まで騒いでマナーが悪い、施設としても清潔とは言えず、同じ価格帯の近隣のゲストハウスも全て泊まったことがありますが、比較すると低く評価せざるを得ません。アットホームをはき違えていると思われます。

居心地の良いホステル

今回2泊利用させて頂きました。駅もメインの観光名所も歩いて行けて凄く好立地な場所で助かりました。 建物も昔の家屋そのままなので確かに古い感じですが、まるで昔にタイムスリップしたような懐かしい気分を味わえました。それ以上にオーナーの方がとても優しくて若いのにオジサンギャグを大連発。女一人旅でしたがとても楽しい時間を過ごせました。何よりアットホームで凄く居心地が良かったです。 バッパー慣れしてない方や普段ホテルに泊まってる方には向いてないかもしれませんが、異文化交流が好きな方や人と話すことが好きな人にはうってつけだと思います。日本のホステルにしては珍しくキッチンも付いてるので食費を押さえたい人にも良いかもしれないですね。ハマる人にはどハマりするホステルです(笑)また奈良に来るときにはぜひ利用させて頂きたいと思います。
