"This was the single best stay I had in Japan. I cannot even put into words how amazing. It was a tradition Japanese place, public baths that were spotless and cozy, got kimonos for our stay and inside house slippers, the meals were unique and intricate. I will be coming back, thank you so much. Also the view is breathtaking. "

"We had a lovely time here! We were travelling by public transport, and this spot is a little of out of the way, but they sent a shuttle to the train station and it was easy to arrive. It was not clear from their website that the restaurant would not be open for dinner, and the closest restaurant by foot (other than McDonald's) was a 30 minute walk away. That was no problem; we had a nice walk, a great dinner, and really loved the onsen!"

"Absolutely gorgeous place, super close to Nara park. After hiking to Mount Wakakusa my wife and I enjoyed the private hot springs. It was surreal enjoying the hot water while listening to the rain in the rock garden area. We would definitely come back if we find ourselves in Nara. "

"A beautiful spot in the forest, although just a bit far from the sights in Nara. The staff was lovely and the room quite comfortable, by Western standards for a Japanese room (although the futons were by far the hardest and most uncomfortable of the three ryokans we visited). The meals lived up to the reviews, beautifully presented true kaiseki."

"Everything from the staff, amenities, and cleanliness of the room was excellent . The location is a bit away from Umeda and Dotonbori but they are both a short train ride away. The entrance to the Metro is directly beside the entrance to the hotel so access is very easy. "
"Love this hotel and it’s our 2nd time staying here.
Great location right in the middle of dontonburi and shinsaibashi. Hotel basement leads directly to subway
Rooms are big, clean and comfortable
Big buffet spread and there’s new food items daily "
"Just an excellent stay. Perfect for a family. Easily walk to the subway and train station. The staff were so friendly and helpful at all times. Also really easy to explore Osaka from here and get to Universal."
"I had the best stay ever as a solo first time visitor to Osaka. I even signed up to be a member lol. When I come back to Osaka, will definitely stay here again!
Primary reason I chose this hotel was because I could take the airport bus straight to this location and not deal with the hassle of dragging my luggage and didn't realize how central it was to all the places and restaurants I wanted to visit until I started mapping out my trip. Practically half of the items on my list was within walking distance.
Besides the location, the staff was amazing. Everyone was so helpful and kind! Right from when I got off the bus to after checkout, every interaction I had was great. I don't know much Japanese, but it seems everyone at least knows enough English and other languages too to help make your stay the best.
I stayed in the Superior Economy Double Room, Non-Smoking and it was a great space for the price. Clean and nicely designed. Japan hotel rooms are known to be small, but this one was spacious and I had enough room to unpack my oversized clam shell luggage. I had a nice view from my window, bed was normal, but the standout was that bathroom! The water pressure was A+
Overall I had an amazing trip, should've stayed longer!"

What's it like to stay in a motel?
Motels often have free parking, and many have outdoor pools. Often one or two stories tall, motel properties usually have outdoor access to guestrooms from the parking lot.
