"I was such a beautiful place to stay! There was plenty of room, and plenty of pillows - rare in Japan! The decoration was very tasteful and welcoming. Staircase was a little narrow, but this is common in Japan and not a fault of the owner. There was only one toilet, which worked fine for our family of 4. Location was fabulous - easily walkable to Nara Park and the train station, and right on a busy walking street full of shopping and food, yet still quiet enough to rest at night. My only...

"It was a perfectly nice property, and was in a really good location. However, communications with the host were really poor, and check-in was a huge fiasco. I think they tried to provide check-in information to my home phone number, but obviously, as a traveller, I had no access to my home phone number. There was no other way to get in contact with this host. They provided us a phone number in the booking info, but we called it and it turned out to be the wrong number. We had to plead with the...

"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...

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"Really convenient, really organised- one of the electronic check in systems so far in our trip around Japan. "

Candeo Hotels Osaka The Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional stay at Candeo Hotel — truly 5‑star quality I had an amazing experience at the Candeo Hotel. The location is perfect and makes getting around incredibly easy. The property itself is beautiful, modern, and genuinely feels like a 5‑star stay from the moment you walk in. The views are stunning from every part of the hotel — the restaurant, gym, guest rooms, and especially the bathhouse. After long days out exploring, the bathhouse was absolutely incredible and one of the highlights of my stay. It’s peaceful, spotless, and the perfect way to unwind. Overall, this hotel exceeded expectations in every way. Highly recommend for anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a truly relaxing experience."
