Top Nara Prefecture Hotel Reviews

Miyako City Osaka Hommachi

Miyako City Osaka Hommachi

10/10 Excellent
"One of the best hotels I stayed at in Japan. I will stay here again next time I'm in Japan. Rooms are clean, layout is efficient. I appreciated the deep, soaking bathtubs, hot water, and Toto bidet toilets. The complimentary coffee and beverage refreshments in the lobby were a welcome reward at the end of a long day of exploring. The breakfast buffet is excellent, and a one-time breakfast buffet credit for becoming a reward member is a nice feature. If only American hotels were this well managed."
