"複数家族で利用しました。一棟貸しとのことで、急な人数変更でも料金の変更がないので安心して予約できました。またオープンな環境に見えてプライバシーが守られているので、ホテルなどで雑魚寝するよりよっぽど睡眠の質はあがります。各スペースにコンセントがあるのもかなり助かりました。洗面3つ、シャワールーム2つ、男女混合の14名で利用させていただきましたが申し分ない設備でした。駅やコンビニ、パーキング、大型スーパー、飲食店等も近くにありました。人数も多かった為Wi-Fiが繋がりにくい時がありましたが、ボードゲームなども充実しておりデジタルデトックスできたので逆に良かったです。また是非利用したいです！"

Top Nara Hotel Reviews

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"We love the onsen. Very convenient and nice. The room is quite tight for a family of 4"

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

8/10 Good

"Beautiful hotel with an excellent location to shopping,dining and transportation. Has a 7-11 on the premises which was very convenient. Had connecting room which was great. Rooms were very small but made good use of what space was there. Onsen was really nice. Only negative for me was the price to use the pool. Also for the price charged was limited to one hour( they charged by the hour) you could not go in a second early. Over all…pleased with our stay."
