Top Yakushi-ji Temple Hotel Reviews

Miyako City Osaka Hommachi

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best stays I can remember"

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

8/10 Good

"The location is accessible for all station and near to street food and restaurant"

Candeo Hotels Osaka The Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Un hôtel parfait bien situé propre personnel impeccable bravo"

Namba Oriental Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel itself is great -- lovely, helpful staff and good amenities. There are many places to eat and/or drink nearby. The central location works well for getting around Osaka, but he neon-lit, perpetually crowded mall surrounding the hotel is not a restful or relaxing experience -- great if you don't mind full on sensory overlload."

Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay a lot around the area and next to the train station"

The Royal Park Canvas - Osaka Kitahama

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean"

Hotel THE LEBEN OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, friendly, convenient"

Toyoko Inn Osaka Namba

8/10 Good

"First time staying at a Toyoko Inn. I’d definitely stay again - lots to love. Included breakfast is great. Also excellent facilities including laundry and luggage storage. Room was quite large too. The only thing I didn’t like was how hard the bed was. Pretty much the only thing keeping it from being 5 stars for me."

The Royal Park Hotel Iconic Osaka Midosuji

10/10 Excellent

"After a rough stay at Meander in Osaka, this was a breath of fresh air. I can’t speak to the other rooms here but my wife and I stayed in the deluxe corner king on the 24th floor. It’s probably the best view I’ve ever had in a hotel. The room is extremely spacious which allowed us to do some much needed organizing. The bathroom and shower here were also top notch. The shower was probably as big as our last hotel room 😂"
