Yamatokoriyama Meta Shrine Hotels

"Great location, spotless room. Amazing free amenities in the lobby, coffee and soft drinks. Would definitely stay again."

"I am excitedly awaiting our next trip so we can have a stay at this hotel! The staff were superb! Beautiful view of Osaka Castle! Loved our stay!"

"We spent 8 nights here, using it as a base to explore. It is a newer hotel with a classy, restrained style, located across the street from a metro/local railway station with an associated 8-floor shopping mall built above. Check-in was easy; many of the staff speak at least a little English. Check-out was also easy; we paid an extra 2,000Y for 2 hours later check-out time. Nearby was an area where many little amenities are available – toiletries, tea/coffee supplies, etc. The room was nicely designed; the wet room, toilet and sink were all separate. Fridge and kettle were in-room, while there are microwaves and vending machines on a couple of floors. We booked one of the smaller rooms – less wide, but still enough space for us to both move around. The twin beds were comfy, though we had to ask for extra pillows as only one each is standard. The HVAC system was efficient and VERY quiet. The TV was great; we were able to cast our iPad to it. The laundry has three efficient washers and three dryers; payment is via the web; cash payment was not an option. We paid the extra charge for the breakfast buffet; this was a highlight. There’s a range of hot and cold foods, mostly Western but some with a Japanese twist, and there were some changes daily. Our favourite was the soft-serve ice cream machine – the vanilla-matcha swirl is to die for! The staff were friendly, competent and helpful; overall we were very pleased with the hotel – we cannot think of any real issues or concerns."

"Very good"

"STUNNING view from our room - I never wanted to close the curtains! Impeccable cleanliness. Outstanding central location. Would highly recommend and would certainly return!"

"The staff and the room view was amazing, we would totally come back to Osaka just for the hotel. Everything was perfect and service was top tier. Totally recommended for a peaceful stay. The staff took care of us from A to C. "

"Amazing Hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff, as well as so much to do in the surrounding area. Everything in walking distance, and the breakfast had an amazing variety and was delicious."

"I stayed in a room on the imperial floor. The room was large and fully stocked with amenities. It had a nice view overlooking the river. The hotel has a number of excellent restaurants. The staff are very polite and attentive to details. I would definitely stay here again on a future trip to Osaka. "

"Amazing place! I accidentally left my earrings behind and they took the initiative to send them to my next hotel. Truly top-notch service — so impressed!"
