Top Toshodai-ji Temple Hotel Reviews

Sotetsu Grand Fresa Osaka - Namba

8/10 Good

"Great location"

Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

8/10 Good

"The location was ok. The entrance was on a small back street. It's rather difficult to find. There's an underground walk way entrance right by the hotel that connected all tge way to Osaka station, which is great in hot summer days. We stayed at a corner room on a lower floor with 3 beds. The room was larger than similar hotels. Modern, clean, functional. Each floor has a locked door by the elevator to access the floor with card key. The breakfast buffet was excellent. The dining room was large, clean. The staff were friendly. We loved the public bath. It's not onsen, spring water, but it was clean and modern. You check in with a staff with your room key to use the bath. The only negative point was it was too noisy outside as we stayed on a lower floor. Overall, excellent."

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"We love the place. The area is so near to many places to eat and many shopping areas. The rooms are so comfortable and the huge supermarket next to the hotel is amazing. We love the hot bath and it’s such a comfortable stay with nice hot onsen bath. Will definitely come back to stay again."

Hotel New Otani Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at the lobby was amazing! There were plenty of them to help us check in two rooms for 6 family members and 13 pieces of luggage! The onsite restaurants were a bonus especially traveling with elderly parents and a large group. Thomas, one of the bell staff, was very helpful in directing us to the correct trains for a day trip to Kyoto and shopping Osaka! Also, housekeeping was super-fast at responding to our requests! We highly recommend this hotel if you are visiting Osaka!"
