Ryokan in Nara Prefecture

"Amazing ONSEN, great location and best value all around!"

"We recently stayed at The Blossom Kyoto and overall had a very pleasant experience. The hotel was modern, clean, and offered great amenities that made our stay comfortable, especially for families traveling longer in Japan. One of the biggest highlights was the public bath, which was a nice way to relax after long days of walking around Kyoto. The washer and dryer facilities were also extremely convenient and something we really appreciated during our trip. We booked the Quad Room for 3 adults and 1 child and found it spacious enough by Kyoto/Japan standards. The room layout worked well for our family and provided enough comfort for our stay. The hotel itself had a calm and relaxing atmosphere, and the staff were polite and professional throughout our stay. Would we stay here again? Maybe, maybe not. While we enjoyed our stay and found the hotel comfortable and convenient, we would probably also explore other hotel options in Kyoto on future visits just to experience different areas and styles of accommodations. Overall, The Blossom Kyoto was a solid and enjoyable stay with great amenities for travelers and families visiting Kyoto."

"We recently stayed at Hotel Hankyu Respire Osaka and overall had a wonderful experience. The hotel’s biggest strength is definitely its unbeatable location. Being directly connected to LINKS Umeda, Osaka Station, shopping malls, restaurants, and convenience stores made our stay extremely convenient, especially traveling with family and a young child. We could easily shop, dine, and access transportation without needing to go far. The service was also excellent — staff were professional, courteous, and efficient throughout our stay. The hotel itself was modern, clean, and very comfortable. We booked the Quad Room for 3 adults and 1 child and found the room spacious enough by Japan standards, especially compared to many other hotels in Osaka. One downside for our family was that the beds could not be combined into a larger bed. Since our 5-year-old still does not sleep independently, sharing one bed felt a bit cramped. This is something families with young children may want to consider when booking. Although the hotel does not have a public bath/onsen, the convenience of the location, the amenities, and the overall comfort definitely made up for it. We truly enjoyed our stay and can absolutely see ourselves staying at Hotel Hankyu Respire Osaka again on future trips to Osaka."

"Best stay in Japan!"

"Excellent hotel, very clean and friendly staff."

"This was an amazing hotel. Right next to the train station. Nice gym with an amazing view. "

"Air conditioning was very bad during our stay. Even with the AC fan set to high, it barely felt like any air was coming out. The thermostat was set to 20°C, which is the lowest setting, but the room still felt very hot, especially at night. We stayed for 3 nights and were sweating every night because of how warm the room was. We complained to the front desk multiple times, but they said they could not do anything about it. They also did not have fans to provide. One staff member even suggested using the humidifier as a fan. If you are coming from a cold place or you are a hot sleeper, I would recommend choosing a different hotel."
