“From what I gather, the location is superb, placing you moments from Nara's historical heart and park. The older building has quirks, perhaps a faint odor, yet also unexpected charms like classical music in the lobby. Based on what I read, the amiable staff and remarkably clean dorms add to its appeal, especially given the reasonable price.”
