Naramachi, 1.2 km from Nara National Museum

"The property seems to be recently updated, it is modern, and clean. The amenity is lacking a few things (for example, it tells the guest to wash dishes and put them away but doesn’t provide a clothe to dry them). Also, the instruction isn’t super clear. The instruction reads to leave the key on the table when checking out (that’s what it says literary in English), when in fact you need to lock and put the key in the lockbox as one example. Also the road to access the property is quite narrow...

Top Nara National Museum Hotel Reviews

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

8/10 Good

"Excellent location that can't be beat; but the room size is small at minimum. I booked a triple room for 3 adults, and there is no space to open each person's luggage. No space between 2 of the 3 beds, and the bed by the wall only fits an unopened luggage. Other than that, the facility and the room are clean and pleasant."

"The place is convenient in namba. The location is a little off the common stations but it is pretty good once you get used to it. I like the hotel and things are new. The breakfast is ok and it does have some interesting Osaka flavors. The staffs are extremely friends and helpful. For example, the phone map does not give a good recommendations to the airport and the staff has recommended an even better path for me going to the airport. The travel is easier and time saving. Overall, I like the hotel and I can stay there again"
