Hilo Hostel is located in Nara, within less than 1 km of Nara Station and 18 km of Iwafune Shrine. Featuring a shared lounge, this 3-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with a shared bathroom. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and free WiFi. I enjoyed my stay so much! The Japanese staff were amazing and kind and so helpful! He carried my suitcase up to the 3rd floor when I checked in and insisted on carrying it back down when I checked out. The hostel was so clean and the kitchen was equipped perfectly to cook a nice meal. I really loved staying at this hostel. Thank you to the really kind, amazing staff that made this stay really pleasant. Also a perfect location! Right in the town centre and a 30second walk to the station!

The units come with air conditioning, a fridge, a microwave, a kettle, a shower, a hairdryer and a desk. The hostel offers certain units that feature a safety deposit box, and all rooms are equipped with a shared bathroom and a wardrobe. The rooms will provide guests with a minibar. Ken-san was very flexible and accommodating. I took the night bus from Tokyo and had a 10am appointment the day I arrive in Osaka. I wanted a proper bath before this, and a place to leave my luggage. I couldn't check in yet, but he considered my situation and permitted me to use the common facilities. I could've booked a 3-star hotel or an apartment advertised affordably, but I'm glad I chose this place. The room was also spacious, and the futon comfortable for a good sleep. I especially love the "Cow Road" yakiniku place, nearby, an unassuming shop manned by a couple. The wagyu was soooo good for the price. There were also two train stations nearby (7 minute and 15 minute walk). He also had all the extra amenities that even business hotels won't have, like hair straightener, band-aid (for walking a lot), Muji face and bath products, etc. I also liked the small details of the place interiors like the Chinoiserie design sink, the industrial feels coffee cup wall, etc.
