9. Nara-no-ya

Naramachi, 0.4 km from Nara Craft Museum

"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 Nara Craft Museum Hotel Reviews

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

8/10 Good

"Great location. Easy access to train station and restaurants. However room size was very small."

Candeo Hotels Osaka Namba

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at Candeo Hotels Osaka Namba. The location was excellent, being close to Dotonbori, restaurants, shopping, and public transportation, which made it very easy to explore Osaka. We decided to splurge a little on a larger room, and it was definitely worth it. We had a corner room with great views, which made the extra cost worthwhile, especially after spending long days exploring the city. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and the service was great. Overall, it was a very enjoyable stay and a great base for exploring Osaka. We would happily stay here again."
