Top Toshodai-ji Temple Hotel Reviews

THE LIVELY OSAKA HONMACHI

10/10 Excellent

"I made another solo leisure trip to Osaka and wanted to stay at a new hotel that was a good balance of value and convenience. Overall, I had a good experience during my stay at this hotel. The location was in Honmachi, which was a nice change of the more chaotic areas near Umeda and Namba, while also being very accessible to either areas by metro. The room was comfortable and spacious for the price point. Lastly, the staff was professional and helpful when I interacted with them. I did not have the hotel breakfast or visit the bar, since I ate at my favorite places in the area and only came back to sleep. However, it was a very enjoyable stay and a good hotel for solo leisure travel."

The Royal Park Canvas - Osaka Kitahama

10/10 Excellent

"Astonishing place. Only thing I’d rather fix is the usage of laundry, as it’s quite poor just a few machines for the entire building."

Citadines Namba Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Great rooms and amenities. The staff was awesome and the hotel was centrally located with walking access to all the great locations."

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."

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel and great location. However not ideal for solo travelers. This place gets pretty crowded and has a lot of travel groups and families staying here. It will get super busy and chaotic at times with kids running around."

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Umeda Eki Tower

8/10 Good

"The property was very clean and nice."

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"

The OneFive Osaka Shinsekai

10/10 Excellent
