8. Nara-no-ya

Naramachi, 1.2 km from Nara National Museum

"The property seems to be recently updated, it is modern, and clean. The amenity is lacking a few things (for example, it tells the guest to wash dishes and put them away but doesn’t provide a clothe to dry them). Also, the instruction isn’t super clear. The instruction reads to leave the key on the table when checking out (that’s what it says literary in English), when in fact you need to lock and put the key in the lockbox as one example. Also the road to access the property is quite narrow...

Top Nara National Museum Hotel Reviews

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

8/10 Good

"Location is a bit far away from main street. Hotel overall is satisfactory. The best part is it is very close to limousine bus terminal. The worst part is the room is very small."

Toyoko Inn Osaka Namba

8/10 Good

"First time staying at a Toyoko Inn. I’d definitely stay again - lots to love. Included breakfast is great. Also excellent facilities including laundry and luggage storage. Room was quite large too. The only thing I didn’t like was how hard the bed was. Pretty much the only thing keeping it from being 5 stars for me."

The Royal Park Hotel Iconic Osaka Midosuji

10/10 Excellent

"After a rough stay at Meander in Osaka, this was a breath of fresh air. I can’t speak to the other rooms here but my wife and I stayed in the deluxe corner king on the 24th floor. It’s probably the best view I’ve ever had in a hotel. The room is extremely spacious which allowed us to do some much needed organizing. The bathroom and shower here were also top notch. The shower was probably as big as our last hotel room 😂"

APA Hotel Namba Ekihigashi

10/10 Excellent

"The location is very convenient, and the room is nice and clean. Front desk is very nice and helpful too."

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

"Staff was great. Location is amazing. Walking distance to Osaka station. 1 stop to shin osaka, did all my day trips with no hassle.. Shopping center just below and much more.. everything you need.. Just give yourself a couple hours or days to learn the layout of everything around you.. its worth it."
