Top Nara National Museum Hotel Reviews

Candeo Hotels Osaka The Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property. Excellent buffet breakfast with breathtaking views. The location was also close enough to downtown Osaka and the train station for day trips into Kyoto. Nearby Osaka Castle was a disappointment and so were some of the street markets. Kyoto had the better attractions like the Arashiyama neighbourhood (not ghe bridge), the Banboo forest, The Pontocho Alley and the Fushimi inari shrine."
