"This hostel is definitely one of the better ones that have just been renovated. One of the biggest perks is having a shared bathroom but having a private toilet room and private shower room as well as separate men and women bathrooms. Upon our arrival around 10pm, the front desk clerk was very helpful and informed us of how to get in when the front desk has closed. They were extremely helpful in getting us checked in, giving us the wifi pw, etc. The room itself was small but it was to be...

"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

Miyako City Osaka Hommachi

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the place! It smelled great, was clean, had a patio, and the bed was super comfy. I really appreciate having the luggage room after checkout; it made our last few hours in town so much easier without having to haul our bags around."

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."
