Top Toshodai-ji Temple Hotel Reviews

Candeo Hotels Osaka The Tower

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful hotel with an amazing view. Breakfast was great. Family mart being connected to the building was a plus."

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room,shops nearby, breakfast very good."

Namba Oriental Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good location with reasonable price."

THE LIVELY OSAKA HONMACHI

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel that definitely feels like a true 4-star property. The rooms are a bit uncomfortable, though, and the bed layout honestly reminds me of a hospital bed, lol. On the bright side, the rooftop and amenities are really nice! There’s no self-service laundry, but they offer a laundry service for ¥5,500. If you drop off your clothes by 9 AM, they’ll have them ready by 7 PM. Location-wise, it’s about a 30-minute walk from the main Dotonbori area and 15 minutes from the upscale shopping streets. The breakfast options are pretty underwhelming, but overall, it’s a good hotel with some nice features."
