Top Nara National Museum Hotel Reviews

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was clean, quiet and its location is great. Umeda Station and Osaka station extremely close and lots of department store all within walking distance"

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"I rarely leave reviews, but I was so impressed with my stay that I just had to write one. I don't travel to Japan very often, and I usually expect the typical tiny, cramped rooms with barely any space to breathe. Even though I booked a slightly larger room this time, given the price of around USD 40 per night, I honestly didn't expect much—I figured, how big could it possibly be? To my surprise, it was quite comfortable and more than spacious enough for a pleasant stay. Here are the highlights that stood out to me: Bathroom & Amenities: Instead of cheap, token items just for show, the bathroom facilities and amenities were genuinely high quality and extremely user-friendly. Facilities: The public bath (onsen) inside the hotel was top-notch, and having a 7-Eleven convenience store right on-site made things incredibly convenient. Location & Accessibility: The hotel is located right next to the airport terminal. You can take a limousine bus straight from the airport and arrive right at the hotel (if you take the train, it's just a short walk of about one block). Getting Around: While it's a bit of a walk from the heart of Dotonbori, it's still very manageable on foot. Best of all, even if it's raining or too hot outside, you can use the underground walkways to get to the Namba shopping district comfortably and freely. It's a rare gem that offers unbeatable value and convenience. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip to Osaka!"

Sugata Hotel Osaka Shinsaibashi, Series By Marriott

8/10 Good

"Location is great and the hotel is quiet. One of our rooms was dirty when we checked in, but the hotel staff changed our room the next day. Rooms are tiny (as in most of Japanese hotels) and the aircon was loud. But overall helpful staff and decent accommodations- specially given the price. One complaint though - it’s got Marriott branding and even with my platinum status I got no perks, not even water or an offer for upgrade. Staff need better education."

THE LIVELY OSAKA HONMACHI

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great hotel, excellent staff and excellent amenities. Rooms are reasonably sized for Japan, good air conditioning (essential in late July), hot high pressure shower and OK sized fridge. They have tea, coffee and hot/cold water available most hours, a nice selection of standard and fruit teas. Breakfast is not a big buffet. There are 6 types of Japanese breakfast “sandwiches” from which you can choose 3 each day, plus you get fruit and granola. The usual coffee, tea, juice and others are also there."

The OneFive Osaka Namba Dotonbori

10/10 Excellent

"My stay was excellent from beginning to end. The staff was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with any questions or requests. Their professionalism and hospitality made me feel right at home. The hotel itself was exceptionally clean, from the lobby to my room. Housekeeping did an outstanding job, and everything was well maintained throughout my stay."
