Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

8/10 Good

"This property is absolutely packed with fellow travelers."

Kadensho, Arashiyama Onsen, Kyoto - Kyoritsu Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely Japanese-style hotel with every amenity you could want: free coffee, onsen, laundry, robes, etc… Spacious, clean rooms. Loved the massage I booked! (As a side note: restaurants in the area close very early. We arrived after 7 pm and had no dining options. Apparently there is dining at the hotel restaurant if you book it as a package? We didn’t add it at the time of booking so we were left with dinner options from the mini mart across the street. Word to the wise. )"

Osaka Excel Hotel Tokyu

10/10 Excellent

"This was my second time staying here and both visits were amazing! This first time was absolutely memorable so when booking our second visit we knew we had to go with this hotel again. The location is very convenient. Close to trains and several convenience stores. 20 minute walk to Dotonbori and SO MUCH shopping nearby. Staff is always so friendly and helpful! Room is large and the bed is so cozy!! Definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Osaka!"

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"Extremely convenient location. Amenities and rooms good value for money. Limited staff service, a lot of self-service and automated services. The few staff onsite are not the most friendly and in some ways rude. But thankfully the system has been set up to minimize the need for personnel anyways. So if you are comfortable with self service and automated service then this hotel is perfect but if you need people service then it may not be the best. Its an efficient and effective kind of place. Good value for money and Very convenient location."
