Our 4-night stay at Soraniwa was absolutely perfect. The staff is friendly, helpful, and extremely professional. Our room was as beautiful as it was comfortable, and the fit and finish of the room was remarkable. Loved the sheets and pillows, the silk pajamas they provided and all the extra amenities. Our room had a private onsen, and the onsite onsen was pure luxury. The hotel is located near everything you need for entertainment and dining. Our stay was one of my favorites ever, and we travel often. I would not hesitate to stay at Soraniwa again.

New York (NYC) to Osaka (KIX)
9.6/10 Exceptional! (267 reviews)
This room looks nothing like the photos. We are a family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids) and it was so small that we ended up booking a 2nd room at the hotel once we got there because we would have been so crammed. The description states that it fits 6 but even 5 was very uncomfortable and that's why we booked the 2nd room. Also the room had no space to sit or store items and everything was so tight. The furniture and room is outdated and the window faces the wall of another building so you see no sunlight and feel like you are in a cardboard box. One of the worst rooms we have ever stayed in.
