"The staff were beyond friendly and hospitable! My friend staying with me was having medical issues and we were immediately offered help/accommodations in any way possible. The bath has a fantastic view over Nara, the property is nestled amongst some of the most beautiful scenery I’ve ever seen, our room was very cozy, and the breakfast in the morning left us full and satisfied. Somehow in a Country other than my home, I felt right at home. If I ever come back to Japan, I’d be remiss if I didn’t...

"Excellent Base for Exploring Osaka! We spent a week at Sugata Hotel from October 1 to 8 and had a great overall experience. The entire team here is top-notch—always welcoming, efficient, and eager to help out with any questions. Rooms are definitely snug, but they make smart use of the space and come fully equipped with all the essentials. Spotless, too! What really sets this place apart is the location. You are within easy reach of multiple transit options, great shopping, and a fantastic food scene—with Dotonbori just a short stroll away. A comfortable, well-managed property that makes exploring the city super easy. Would gladly stay here again!"
