"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

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Umeda Eki Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Great Hotel, very clean and close to everything. They had everything you need as well in the hotel."

Candeo Hotels Osaka Namba

10/10 Excellent

"We loved everything. Beautiful hotel and wonderful staff. Location is very convenient."

The Royal Park Canvas - Osaka Kitahama

10/10 Excellent

"Good location, clean. Good space."

Cross Hotel Osaka（ORIX HOTELS & RESORTS）

10/10 Excellent

"Cross Hotel Osaka exceeded my expectations, and I would gladly stay here again on my next visit to Osaka. Its central location is incredibly convenient, with excellent restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and popular attractions within easy walking distance in every direction. The hotel is exceptionally clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced. The staff members were consistently professional, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. I highly recommend Cross Hotel Osaka to anyone looking for quality accommodations in the heart of the city."

Centara Grand Hotel Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing"

The OneFive Osaka Shinsekai

8/10 Good

"Overall, a really good experience. 300+ is she?"

APA Hotel Namba Ekihigashi

10/10 Excellent

"Yes this room is tiny and frankly difficult to navigate in room with two people. You really can’t beat the location. Walking distance from lots of fun things to see and do. We booked two rooms for basically price of one- I really can’t complain."

Hotel New Otani Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here for a few days at the end of our trip. The location is excellent, right near Osaka Castle. We had a room with a view of the castle and river, and it was wonderful. The area is very quiet, and surrounded by other high end hotels, and business offices. The staff at the Otani is beyond attentive to your needs, and go the extra step to make you feel welcome. Rooms come with a nice sized soaking tub, and all toiletries one might need, including toothbrush and toothpaste. We arrived early, and were able to check in early at no extra cost. We were also surprised with a some sweets and a card in recognition of my birthday, which fell during our stay. We opted for a triple room, and each of us had our own bed, which was nice. There is a breakfast buffet available which is very convenient, and numerous boutiques, and restaurants to choose from. There's also a Family Mart and Mister Donut nearby, as well as other small coffee shops and eateries. We opted to have a fancy dinner to celebrate my birthday, at the Sakura restaurant, and it was by far one of the best fancy meals I have had in a long time. Worth the splurge, as it was pricier than anything we had during our trip. Will definitely go back to the Otani."
