Top Kitano Hotel Reviews

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was clean, quiet and its location is great. Umeda Station and Osaka station extremely close and lots of department store all within walking distance"

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"I rarely leave reviews, but I was so impressed with my stay that I just had to write one. I don't travel to Japan very often, and I usually expect the typical tiny, cramped rooms with barely any space to breathe. Even though I booked a slightly larger room this time, given the price of around USD 40 per night, I honestly didn't expect much—I figured, how big could it possibly be? To my surprise, it was quite comfortable and more than spacious enough for a pleasant stay. Here are the highlights that stood out to me: Bathroom & Amenities: Instead of cheap, token items just for show, the bathroom facilities and amenities were genuinely high quality and extremely user-friendly. Facilities: The public bath (onsen) inside the hotel was top-notch, and having a 7-Eleven convenience store right on-site made things incredibly convenient. Location & Accessibility: The hotel is located right next to the airport terminal. You can take a limousine bus straight from the airport and arrive right at the hotel (if you take the train, it's just a short walk of about one block). Getting Around: While it's a bit of a walk from the heart of Dotonbori, it's still very manageable on foot. Best of all, even if it's raining or too hot outside, you can use the underground walkways to get to the Namba shopping district comfortably and freely. It's a rare gem that offers unbeatable value and convenience. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip to Osaka!"

"My stay was excellent from beginning to end. The staff was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with any questions or requests. Their professionalism and hospitality made me feel right at home. The hotel itself was exceptionally clean, from the lobby to my room. Housekeeping did an outstanding job, and everything was well maintained throughout my stay."
