"I went here as a single traveller with little to Japanese language skills and found it amazing. Though the staff had limited English, everything was communicated well and I felt very welcomed and comfortable. It’s very close to all the main attractions of Nara, but out of the way enough to where you’re not surrounded by people all the time. If I ever go back to Nara, I will certainly stay here again. "

Citadines Namba Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Location there are so many lines through Namba and other near stations. Kumoron market and great shopping are on your doorstep. The hotel has a great laundry and kitchen area with microwaves there and in room. Water bottles are not provided but you can fill water & ice. Staff were really helpful as due to health problems our plans changed daily. They facilitated and helped all the way. I only ate in the cafe once and they were gluten free conscious and the salmon was fab. Good service safe food."

The Royal Park Canvas - Osaka Kitahama

10/10 Excellent

"I recently stayed at the Royal Park Canvas, and it easily stands out as one of the best hotel experiences I've had. From the moment you walk in, the property is remarkably modern, impeccably organized, and boasts the absolute cleanest rooms I’ve encountered. Everything is designed for comfort and convenience, offering a fantastic atmosphere for any traveler. What truly elevated this stay, however, was the immaculate customer service. After checking out, I realized I had accidentally left some items behind in my room. The staff went above and beyond to help me retrieve them quickly and stress-free. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail were truly top-tier."

THE LIVELY OSAKA HONMACHI

Miyako City Osaka Hommachi

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous stay and highly recommend - Make sure to buy the breakfast buffet - it is well stocked with western and Japanese food,. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are very clean. Our floor (14th) had a water station by the elevator so it was very convenient to refill our bottles. The Bloom Cafe offers free soda and coffee (lattes and cappuccinos too) as well as beer and wine for Y500 per glass (buy the tokens at the front desk). The hotel is conveniently located near the Hommachi train station - make sure to walk to the Senba Center and Shinsaibashi for great shopping. The second hand market for handbags is amazing! The area is super safe and very walkable with several small eateries nearby. There is also a supermarket a block away so very convenient. Overall, we highly recommend this hotel."

Namba Oriental Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is the second time I stayed in this hotel. The location is just perfect if you want to walk or take the subway or train anywhere. The staff is polite and helpful. The rooms are spacious! The breakfast buffet is just top notch! I am glad I paid for that - this was a vacation with my dad and having breakfast in the hotel to start a slow morning was just perfect. I definitely recommend and would stay again here!"
