Top Toshodai-ji Temple Hotel Reviews

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Umeda Eki Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and close to the train station ,shopping and eating area. When it’s close to check out 10 am the elevator is very slow"

APA Hotel Namba Ekihigashi

8/10 Good

"I don't like spaces, a little tight spaces for 2 people and when get on to bed is difficult."

The OneFive Osaka Namba Dotonbori

10/10 Excellent

"great"

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"Great laundry. Everything clean"

ANCHORED by RIHGA OSAKA NAMBA

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect, prime location with only a couple of minutes' walk to the subway stations, the property was very new and had a good amount of space at this price. Only two things that need improvement: 1. the AC keeps blowing strong cold air even at the lowest speed. 2. I only requested 2 full housekeeping services during my 8-day stay; however, each time the staff dropped some of my items to the floor and just left them as is.. Otherwise the front desk staff were very nice and they have nice vending machines on several floors including one ice cream vending machine"

Centara Grand Hotel Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff and good location."

Candeo Hotels Osaka The Tower

10/10 Excellent

"A truly exceptional stay in Osaka. Beautiful accommodations, outstanding hospitality, and a team that was incredibly professional, welcoming, and attentive. The service and attention to detail made the entire experience memorable. Highly recommended!"

Hotel New Otani Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Very good service. As I have allergies to down and feathers beddings ( which hotels these days have adopted using), New Otani Osaka is able to accommodate to my needs and non hypoallergenic materials beddings they used are most comfortable compared to all the high end 5 stars hotels I have stayed so far. Will definitely recommend this hotel to anybody visiting Osaka. My only complaint is the outdoor pool bar needs additional entry fee to have a drink for guests."

Namba Oriental Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Front staff were very friendly and accommodating. Ideal location within Namba center, where shops and restaurants are all within walking distance. Love the free laundry center in hotel."
