Mountain Home Lodge in Deer Park

Nara

"Amazing room, especially for the price, even as a solo traveller. Would definitely recommend (and have done to friends and family already). Great location, can see the deer from the window. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Basically an apartment, with a hob to cook on, a washing machine, just amazing. I can praise highly enough. Wish I could have stayed longer, and will definitely return if I ever go to Japan again."

"It was a perfectly nice property, and was in a really good location. However, communications with the host were really poor, and check-in was a huge fiasco. I think they tried to provide check-in information to my home phone number, but obviously, as a traveller, I had no access to my home phone number. There was no other way to get in contact with this host. They provided us a phone number in the booking info, but we called it and it turned out to be the wrong number. We had to plead with the...

"身内の不幸で東京から急遽当日予約をして利用しました。初めての民泊、オーナーさんやスタッフとは一度も対面してませんが、オーナーさんがスピーディーで丁寧な連絡をしてくれたので利用方法がわかりやすかったです。外観は古民家でしたが、中はリノベーションされていて部屋や家具家電は比較的新しく感じました。掃除も行き届いて満足です。"

"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...

"I was such a beautiful place to stay! There was plenty of room, and plenty of pillows - rare in Japan! The decoration was very tasteful and welcoming. Staircase was a little narrow, but this is common in Japan and not a fault of the owner. There was only one toilet, which worked fine for our family of 4. Location was fabulous - easily walkable to Nara Park and the train station, and right on a busy walking street full of shopping and food, yet still quiet enough to rest at night. My only...

Top Nara Hotel Reviews

Candeo Hotels Osaka The Tower

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed my stay. All the employees were very friendly and the rooms were clean."

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, but there wasn’t a lot of room to put our luggage. It was a bit difficult to find coming out of Umeda Station, but it was very convenient once we got our bearings. There are many dining and shopping options nearby. It was nice to have many laundry machines, and you didn’t need to put in soap. It took many hours to dry clothes in the washer dryer combo, but I tried a different machine the next morning, and I think the machine I was using was just not good."

Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka

8/10 Good

"The room was comfortable, well-appointed, and surprisingly spacious for Namba. The air conditioning and television were also very easy to use, which is a welcome touch for non-Japanese-speaking travellers, as hotel room controls in Japan can sometimes be difficult to navigate, even with AI translation tools. What let the hotel down, however, was the breakfast experience. There were lengthy queues each morning simply to be seated, as only one hostess was managing the process. Most guests do not want to begin their day by waiting in line for up to 15 minutes, particularly when there are plenty of vacant tables available in a large dining area. It seemed unnecessary for guests to have to wait to be formally seated. Once inside, there was further congestion due to there being only one coffee machine and one toaster, resulting in even more queuing in what is clearly a very busy hotel. Overall, the room itself was excellent, but the breakfast operation would benefit from some improvements to better accommodate the number of guests."

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

8/10 Good

"Excellent location. Steps away from Namba station , restaurants and shops.Self Check in and Check out. Incredible breakfast/lunch 6am-2pm Western and Japanese. It’s small. No room for luggages. Luggage’s are expected to push under the bed at all time otherwise there’s no room to walk. Bathroom is small. Barely room for daily essentials. Beautiful rooftop pool and public bath house. In house 7/11 and laundry room are pluses."

Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Monterey in Japan. The rooms were exceptionally clean, comfortable, and well maintained, making it easy to relax after a long day of sightseeing. Everything felt organized and spotless, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was excellent. The only downside was finding the entrance to the parking area. The logistics and access were somewhat confusing at first and could benefit from clearer signage. Once we located it, everything went smoothly. Overall, this was a fantastic stay with excellent accommodations, and I would gladly return on a future trip to Japan. Highly recommended for anyone looking for clean, comfortable rooms and great service."

Centara Grand Hotel Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel, modern room, amazing views of the city, delicious food and breakfast in the lounge, friendly staff, perfect location, cool rooftop bars, easy to catch taxis from. Overall, we loved staying here. We loved the city of Osaka, and we will definitely return to this hotel."

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Good, clean, and super friendly service. The morning breakfast lines get line gets long though, so check in early. The bedroom designs are amazing. Very clean too. And the beds were super comfortable. They also have free Yakult probiotic drinks and ice creams/popsicles. :D"
