Top Toshodai-ji Temple Hotel Reviews

Namba Oriental Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast very good location convince shopping and restaurant"

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel in the lively area of Namba in Osaka. The hotel is very new and well maintained. We had spacious and comfortable connecting rooms. The onsen was great: too bad that the geometry of the hotel (a tower, as the name says) did not allow for a rotenburo (open-air onsen). Overall, absolutely excellent. One thing that caught me off-guard: the booking person’s passport was required. It had never occurred to me in 25 years of travel to Japan and apparently it is a new rule in Osaka Prefecture. I was travelling out of our base in Kobe and so I did not bring my passport with me. I fortunately always have scans of alla family members’ passports in my phone, so we could solve that. Make sure to have your passport with you!"

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place in a great location. Clean and nice room. Perfect for our 3 days in Osaka. Staff are helpful, friendly and polite and location was fantastic. Downstairs is shopping mall and restaurants, that was fantastic. Very busy place but not noisy at all. Well worth it."

Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great, just a little small room but we were very happy"

THE LIVELY OSAKA HONMACHI

10/10 Excellent

"👍"

Candeo Hotels Osaka The Tower

10/10 Excellent

"My room offered a stunning view of the city scape and you can get an even better view from the sky spa pool. They offer a decent breakfast buffet and the lunch and dinner buffet is actually a very good western style spread. The shower was a very nice rain fall style with an extra adjustable shower head and you can opaque the glass walls for privacy if you like. The bed was excellent and the TV was equipped with the usual apps but they do default to the Japanese version of the apps. The location is excellent with easy access to both the Osaka metro and the Keihan line."

"The staff were super helpful and welcoming. Everything was clean and perfect spot for both train and very close to Dotonbori."
