"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 Yakushi-ji Temple Hotel Reviews

Citadines Namba Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Very good hotel 7 eleven on next street Very easy to get around"

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

8/10 Good

"We didn’t really spend a lot of time at the hotel. It was good enough to shower and sleep . The room had a stain on one of the bed runners and another stain on the bathroom wall. Breakfast was decent, only had it one day."

Centara Grand Hotel Osaka

10/10 Excellent

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

8/10 Good

"Staff experience wasn’t great. But the Hotel was great for our needs."

Namba Oriental Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was in the heart of Dontonburi! The hotel was nice and clean. The staff was really helpful when it came to our needs. I accidentally booked a smoking room and they were able to change it to a non-smoking room at check in (I did have to pay a little more). They also helped us set up our luggage transfer from Osaka to our hotel in Tokyo! The breakfast buffet was delicious and was one of the main reasons we chose this hotel! The laundry amenities and the vacuum sealer were good. We won a lot of stuffed animals at the claw machine so being able to vacuum seal it and pack it for free was great! I would book this hotel again!"

The OneFive Osaka Shinsekai

8/10 Good

"Overall, a really good experience. 300+ is she?"

THE LIVELY OSAKA HONMACHI

10/10 Excellent

"I made another solo leisure trip to Osaka and wanted to stay at a new hotel that was a good balance of value and convenience. Overall, I had a good experience during my stay at this hotel. The location was in Honmachi, which was a nice change of the more chaotic areas near Umeda and Namba, while also being very accessible to either areas by metro. The room was comfortable and spacious for the price point. Lastly, the staff was professional and helpful when I interacted with them. I did not have the hotel breakfast or visit the bar, since I ate at my favorite places in the area and only came back to sleep. However, it was a very enjoyable stay and a good hotel for solo leisure travel."

APA Hotel Namba Ekihigashi

10/10 Excellent

"Yes this room is tiny and frankly difficult to navigate in room with two people. You really can’t beat the location. Walking distance from lots of fun things to see and do. We booked two rooms for basically price of one- I really can’t complain."
