Top Toshodai-ji Temple Hotel Reviews

Citadines Namba Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location"

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for Solo travelers. 7/11 on 4th floor, 2 restaurants and bars if hit with a lazy or rainy day. Smart TVs, ice, water microwaves on floors are convenient. It’s a Japanese hotel so yes they are small but you need to learn how to utilize the design and layout to optimize your space and it’s perfect. Near everything and did I mention the view from the rooftop!"

Namba Oriental Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The location was convenient, and everything made our stay relaxing and enjoyable. We truly appreciated the warm hospitality and attention to detail. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for excellent service and a comfortable stay!” The best is market just steeping out less than 20 feet"

Centara Grand Hotel Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome hotel! If you are looking for some 100% Japanese this isn’t that, as I think it is a Thai brand, but it was EXTREMELY user friendly for American’s first go in Japan. The staff is exceptional, I cannot stress this enough. This is not an Ai review, I’m a normal bro from Oregon, USA. My biggest recommendation is to pay for the Club Level amenities. Was that expensive and it was truly hard to believe how amazing it was. My wife and I immediately started the process of booking a trip to Bangkok to stay at another Centara Grand property, which I think might be the best compliment a hotel chain can get. 5/5 stars. 10/5 stars for the hospitality. Kudos"

The OneFive Osaka Shinsekai

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast is only included for one person when booking not for an extras person. The food is alright . If you have picky eaters ( kids ). I’ll recommend you , just to go buy food outside or buy a one day breakfast to give it a try , instead of paying for your whole duration in advance."

THE LIVELY OSAKA HONMACHI

10/10 Excellent
