Top Yakushi-ji Temple Hotel Reviews

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

8/10 Good

"Comfortable beds and clean rooms. There are not enough washing machines for the number of rooms in the hotel so they are running non-stop. This means you usually have to fight to get the next open washer & we did have some laundry come out smelling bad after washing. Either the detergent had run out for the washer or the machines are not cleaned often. Otherwise great location and good hotel overall!"
