"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 Shosoin Temple Hotel Reviews

Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and the rooms were very nice!"

Miyako City Osaka Hommachi

10/10 Excellent

"For the same prices I paid in Tokyo I had much bigger and better rooms. I got the city view and was beautiful. Daily room maintenance. The bathrooms were much better and overall felt cleaner and more enjoyable. Will be using this hotel again."

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Umeda Eki Tower

10/10 Excellent

"I was very impressed!"

Cross Hotel Osaka（ORIX HOTELS & RESORTS）

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is the best one we stayed at on our two week trip through Japan. Super clean, awesome staff, and the breakfast buffet was phenomenal! All the other hotels seemed drab after this one."

Namba Oriental Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The laundry service with there vacuum seal cloths perfect for travel making more space wish all hotel have this Sevice"

Sotetsu Grand Fresa Osaka - Namba

10/10 Excellent

"We will stay here again. Location is great! Breakfast is good for one day because we got the same food the next day"

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

8/10 Good

"We struggled to find the entrance to the hotel as there are no instructions that the check in is in the 9th floor. Staff were helpful and for a fee allowed is to check in early. Rooms were clean and neat. To get into the hotel we needed to take 2 separate elevators as the hotel is in a different building to the street entrance. Hotel is attached to a large shopping and eating precinct which we enjoyed. Bathroom has a separate shower and bath, shower is separate to the bath, and clothing and towels need to be left outside or will get wet. Laundry had 8 washer/dryers for the whole hotel. Sometimes wait was hours before machines were ready. We also found dryers very slow. Often taking several hours to dry clothes. There is no coin/note exchange near the laundry and the cashless system didn’t accept any of our credit cards or suits which meant going to the front desk of coins were needed. Lifts were very very slow. The hotel looks lovely and clean but it wasn’t one of our favourites."
