"The staff were beyond friendly and hospitable! My friend staying with me was having medical issues and we were immediately offered help/accommodations in any way possible. The bath has a fantastic view over Nara, the property is nestled amongst some of the most beautiful scenery I’ve ever seen, our room was very cozy, and the breakfast in the morning left us full and satisfied. Somehow in a Country other than my home, I felt right at home. If I ever come back to Japan, I’d be remiss if I didn’t...

Top Saidai-ji Hotel Reviews

Candeo Hotels Osaka The Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel!"

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

8/10 Good

"They kept my luggage after checking out. The staff who handled my luggage was very helpful. She said she can speak 6 languages. Impressive. I booked a very high floor. However, the room was small, not made for enjoying a view. Lower level floors should be good enough."

Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"We love it. The only thing is that, it’s very far from the train station. But other than that we have no complaints."

Sugata Hotel Osaka Shinsaibashi, Series By Marriott

8/10 Good

"Overall a decent hotel, it was clean and the staff friendly. The rooms are standard Japanese size. I booked a twin room hoping for a little more room but the room would still be cramped for 2 people. The breakfast was ok, cold eggs, overdone frankfurter sausages, little salad and cereal but the Karage Chicken was nice."

Toyoko Inn Osaka Namba

8/10 Good

"The desk staff was very helpful"

APA Hotel Namba Ekihigashi
