Nothing to report.

Amazing couple running this B&B! So hospitable and kind--makes you feel at home away from home. Has all the amenities modern people are looking for! Breakfast was homemade and amazing! Excellent Communication and recommendations about the local area.

... I could have used a little bit thicker futon 😁

The owners were very kind and helped me out when I got to the correct station very late after coming to the wrong station. The room was nice and comfortable with good a/c. The breakfast area was large for Japan and the breakfast was delicious. Their dog was very shy but adorable

If you are looking for a nice, clean and affordable place in Nara, don’t hesitate ! It is at less than 10 min from the nearest train station and also convenient store. The place is a mix of typical Japanese house but with a + in confort ! I was very well received by the owner and I enjoyed my short stay there !

Extremely friendly hosts Dan and his wife Hiroko. Dan whips up an extremely delicious pizza toast for breakfast. Unfortunately, the price of japanese rice has risen by three times so Dan did not prepare a Japanese breakfast which I read in the reviews as being very good. Dan was also very generous in sharing with us about do's and don'ts regarding Japanese social and cultural norms. The place is also very new, less than 5 years old if I am not wrong.

Absolutely loved my stay here. The location was nice, only a short walk to the station and within the quiet alleyways of the neighbourhood. Many nice local restaurants and a shopping mall also within walking distance. The room was super clean and the hosts were absolutely lovely. They gave me many recommendations and even offered to move a desk into my room as I was working during my stay. If I ever find myself in Nara again I will be staying here :)

Modern, clean and comfortable. Very friendly and helpful hosts that create a warm and serene atmosphere. We tried both the western and Japanese breakfasts and loved both.

I haven't thought of anything. Even if there is something I dislike, it doesn't bother me much because the positive aspects outweigh the negative.

The peaceful and tranquil atmosphere was delightful. I appreciated the kindness of my hosts and the welcoming, homelike environment they provided. This is a straightforward and comfortable guesthouse. Experience a simpler way of life by sleeping on a futon and enjoying a traditional Japanese breakfast.

If we could give Hariko (a Nara native) and Dane (from Washington State) a 100 ⭐s we would! Great location within a 10 minute walk to the train station that will connect you to many wonderful places. The accommodations are comfortable and public spaces inviting. Be sure to include breakfast - while a continental breakfast is available the traditional Japanese (our choice) was tasty and filling.

Our host was very friendly and accommodating to our requests. It was very evident that a lot of efforts have been put in to make the property as comfortable as possible for her guests.

Don't really like the road. It 🛣️ narrow. But hey, it's ok. The peacefulness 🕊️ compensate back.

Love the couple room. Simple and organized. Neighbourhood is peaceful and the homestay is just a short walk from the train station. 🏡🚶‍♂️

The absence of a television may limit entertainment options, but the peaceful neighborhood ambiance can be quite enjoyable. Although you may miss certain comforts, the provision of WiFi allows you to utilize your smartphone for entertainment purposes.

We express our sincere appreciation for the aesthetically pleasing and well-organized arrangement of the room. Its simplicity and neatness are truly delightful. #homedesign #interiordesign The dining room is excellent, and their homemade breakfast is delicious. Hiroko and Dan demonstrated remarkable flexibility by offering diverse breakfast menus each day, which we greatly appreciated. In all honesty, I wholeheartedly recommend B&B Nara An. The proprietors are wonderful individuals whose company we thoroughly enjoyed.

Nothing not to like.

The hosts Hiroko and Dane were very friendly and extremely helpful. They helped us plan our excursions, organise takuhaibin etc. Our Japanese breakfasts were the best we have had. The accommodation was great value and very clean. We found the location great, as it was close to a railway station and all kinds of shops and restaurants. The trains from the station went to Nara (2 stops) and there were express trains to both Osaka and Kyoto. Overall we would highly recommend staying at B&B Nara An.

Nice and clean room, comfortable stay, friendly and helpful staff.

I had my own transport mostly so its distance from the centre of town wasn’t an issue for me, but maybe for others. Sleeping on a futon is never as comfortable as a bed!

It was a nice change from a business hotel and had a nice dining room that you can use as a communal area. The couple that run it are really friendly and both are fluent English speakers. As a solo traveller it was great to have someone to chat with. The rooms are very nice and the breakfast is good. It’s a short walk from the train station.

The property was just difficult to locate.

The room I was allotted was a traditional Japanese style room which offered a comfortable new experience.
