"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...

Top Toshodai-ji Temple 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 😂"
