"This hostel is definitely one of the better ones that have just been renovated. One of the biggest perks is having a shared bathroom but having a private toilet room and private shower room as well as separate men and women bathrooms. Upon our arrival around 10pm, the front desk clerk was very helpful and informed us of how to get in when the front desk has closed. They were extremely helpful in getting us checked in, giving us the wifi pw, etc. The room itself was small but it was to be...

Top Nara Prefecture Hotel Reviews

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Umeda Eki Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely staff, clean rooms, amenities and great location"

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

10/10 Excellent

"Had a very good experience and want to shout out the staff for their exceptional service and care. We had a medical emergency and they coordinated everything and acted promptly to make an already stressful situation seamless. They followed up and the first thing they asked was how we were and if we needed anything when we returned from the hospital. I was very impressed with how they helped us in our time of need. As per the hotel facilities, it is located just outside Kyoto station which is convenient. It is also right beside 2 large shopping malls so extra convenient. Our room was a tiny bit small but we did manage. If there is one thing I would suggest is the carpet in the south building be replaced or cleaned as it had a slight odour. Overall a very good experience, would recommend."
