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 Monterey Le Frere Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Property is clean and staff is amazing. I was really impressed with the size of the room considering most hotels in Japan are relatively small. Most amenities were very nice. The only issue was the number of available washer/dryer for the guests. Nonetheless, I got laundry done without any major concerns. Really enjoyed the visit. I will highly recommend and definitely stay again."

APA Hotel Namba Ekihigashi

Toyoko Inn Osaka Namba

10/10 Excellent

"This is a fabulous place to stay. 5-10 minutes from Namba station, Dotonburi area and the canal. Staff were fantastic, friendly and helpful especially Jerry with his local knowledge and excellent English. Being able to wash and dry a full load of clothes in an hour for 600 yen was a bonus. The room was plenty big enough with great power and wifi connections. Add in a free breakfast, coffee and cocoa machine, cold water and you have the ideal place to stay. Can’t recommend this hotel highly enough"

Namba Oriental Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location"

Hotel THE LEBEN OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing boutique hotel, they even had a small skincare bar downstairs which was such a great touch. The only thing we wish would’ve been better was having a small sink in the separate toilet as there is no facility of that. But that didn’t really hinder our stay there as much. Staff helped us with the luggage forwarding service too. Lovely location, 7/11 is right opposite the hotel."
