This is the second time I have stayed at the Hankyu RESPIRE, the first being only for a few nights on a multi-city "Golden Route" trip to Japan last year and the experience I had, combined with it's fantastic location meant it was the obvious choice for my week-long stay in Osaka this year.
The rooms are well equipped and roomy, especially for Japan, toiletries, room slippers and pyjamas are provided, meaning you can leave those things at home and have more space in your luggage for your Japan...

Looks like a new hotel and is very modern and elegant. The location is great and would highly recommend this hotel if looking to explore the Dotonburi. The hotel is comfortable and clean and the staff are excellent and attentive.

We had an absolutely amazing time staying here. The park is deserted at night and in the early morning, so you have the temples and shrines to yourself (they are not open at these times, but they're still very impressive from the outside). The Nigatsudo shrine was especially great at night, as the lanterns were all lit and it's up a hill, so you can see the city...it's beautiful! Most of the temples to see in Nara are in the park, so you really are right in the middle of it. There are also deer...

Perfect location, as it's very close to the train station as well as the deer park. The room had everything you needed and a very comfortable bed. The communal ktchen area was excellent and again has everything you could possibly need and also a lovely eating area. Everything was perfect. The host was also very helpful and friendly.
Highly recommend staying here.

Great place to stay, very close to Kintetsu-Nara train station. Lots of places nearby to eat nearby. A short walk to the park.
Breakfast and coffee in the morning was very nice.
Our only negative point, our room (201) did smell of smoke quite strongly. We believe it was above the smoking room downstairs.
Overall a great stay and would recommend highly.

Great location, within 10mins walk from Kyoto station.
Also a short walk to Kyoto Tower.
Staff super friendly and happy to help.
The room was on the smaller side but we opted for the cheapest option which you come to expect, still we had a faultless experience.

We had a fantastic stay at Minn Juso in Osaka. The apartment was modern, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable, with plenty of space to relax after a day of exploring the city. The location was great, convenient for transport links and close to local shops and restaurants, which made everything really easy.
The check-in process was smooth and hassle-free, which we really appreciated.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience. We would definitely stay at Minn Juso again and would highly recommend...
