Guesthouse Tamura Reviews

This is a family-run hostel. The owners are very amiable. Also, probably, the cheapest hostel in Nara.

A good hostel run by a Japanese couple, who speak English well. Nice amenities, sento close by but bath and shower available. Breakfast offered in the morning for a price. Close to Nara Park and the main sites in Nara, but a good 20 minute walk from the JR station. A nice place to relax and get away from the noisier hostels and big city sounds. Pretty close restaurants too. Bunk beds, outlets, clean sheets, the works. All in all a decent place to stay.

Guest House Tamura is located very conveniently, in a green area close to the big park. It is very new, well-kept, clean and everything works as it should. Once you get to know her a bit, the hostess is very sweet and helpful. Sadly, there is no fridge or stove, only free tea and coffee, which is my only downside about GH Tamura.

Great location, beautiful house and lovely hosts. I highly reccommend this place.

I loved this guesthouse, it felt like a friendly flavour of Japan. My only criticism is that the directions say ' you will find a small alley on your right with a sign of " Short cut to Nara Hotel". The small alley is in fact on the 'LEFT' about 100m after the Hotel Sunroute hotel. This caused us to get very lost for an hour, but the lovely japanese people kindly helped us.

The Guesthouse Tamura is perfectly located - right up close to Nara park. The place has old-world charm and the proprietress is very accommodating and helpful. They also have great WiFi!

A nice, traditional Japanese accommodation with helpful and kind English-speaking hosts. It was close to tourist attractions and town centre. Good access to the railway. We loved the place!

The couple who run the hostel were so friendly! This was a home-stay instead of a hostel, homemade breakfast and chit chats at night, just the way to understand Japan. And the brand new facilities are definitely value for money.
