Eslead Hotel Namba Daikokucho
Great stay at Eslead Namba Daikokucho. The room was a bit snug for our group of six, but it worked well overall. We especially appreciated having an in-room laundry machine (after our day trip to Nara) it was super convenient. We didn’t end up using the kitchen, but it was nice to have the option ...
