Naramachi

"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 Hotel Reviews

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"."

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and a good size. The location was good ….right across the street from the Kyoto Station. The station had many restaurants to choose from. We found our favourite for sushi and sashimi where we had dinner 5 nights. The Gion district is a cab ride away. My surprise was how few Japanese people spoke any English even in the hotels. The translator App was a necessity."

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

8/10 Good

"Pros: - The rooms were spacious compared to most Japanese hotel rooms. It was nice to have a more traditional tatami style room. - The breakfast buffet had an incredible selection to choose from. There’s a bit of a wait depending on when you go, but it goes rather quickly. - Late night unlimited ramen from 9pm-11pm was also a nice touch. We loved being able to eat a light meal after a long day of exploring. - Onsen access is really nice, with massage chairs available for use. And unlimited ice cream every night was also really delicious. Cons: - Having guests take off their shoes at the lobby makes the place smell like feet. It’s pretty gross since it was raining when we were there so it was a mix of wet socks and feet stench. They should at least require that people wear hotel rooms slippers. - The onsen was really dirty from the amount of people that would use the facilities. It was overcrowded and packed during the night time. Overall, I’d stay at this hotel again, but refrain from using public facilities. It’s almost impossible to keep the public areas clean and free of smells since there are so many guests."

Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was big with a well sized bathroom and an amazing view of the city. The staff were all really helpful and the location of the hotel was ideal - literally right above the JR Namba station and about a 10 minute walk to the main bit of Dotonbori. The views at breakfast were amazing, and I think this is one of the best hotel breakfasts that I've had - so much choice, even for a vegetarian! We really enjoyed our stay here."

The Royal Park Hotel Iconic Osaka Midosuji

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent Location and a Wonderful Stay in Osaka! We had a great stay at this hotel in Osaka for 4 nights! The location was fantastic, with three train stations nearby, making it incredibly convenient to explore the city. Dotonbori was also just a comfortable 20-minute walk away, which was perfect for enjoying the food, shopping and atmosphere. The area felt safe, and the convenience of getting around made our stay stress-free. A special mention to Hikari Restaurant, which was absolutely wonderful and added to our overall experience. Overall, a great choice for anyone visiting Osaka, especially families looking for a safe, convenient location with easy access to public transport and the city's main attractions. We would happily stay here again!"

APA Hotel Namba Ekihigashi

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location, 5 mins walk to Umeda train station and next to great restaurants, bakery, Lawson convenience store and 7 eleven very close by. Provided clean towels everyday. Helpful staff, excellent service. Room size for one person with minimal luggage. Provided toothbrush, toothpaste, hair comb, hair tie, shaving razor, shower cap. Cotton swabs etc."
