Naramachi, 1.2 km from Nara National Museum

"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 National Museum Hotel Reviews

Candeo Hotels Osaka The Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Laundry machines are a little iffy. Great stay though"

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"Best hotel for families in Osaka because of location. Room was comfortable and facilities very clean and well maintained. Luggage forwarding to and from airport also available. Laundry machines were available throughout the day, buffet breakfast very child friendly and had a bit for everyone. Location was key, could get to Umeda and other connecting trains all covered and underground. Only complaint: there was no room to store clothes. The closet was full of stuff like slippers, emergency supplies, luggage shelf. We had to use the window ledge for clothes."

ANCHORED by RIHGA OSAKA NAMBA

10/10 Excellent

"The place is convenient in namba. The location is a little off the common stations but it is pretty good once you get used to it. I like the hotel and things are new. The breakfast is ok and it does have some interesting Osaka flavors. The staffs are extremely friends and helpful. For example, the phone map does not give a good recommendations to the airport and the staff has recommended an even better path for me going to the airport. The travel is easier and time saving. Overall, I like the hotel and I can stay there again"
