Top Minatogawa Shrine Hotel Reviews

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and efficient... comfortable. They thought of everything"

The Park Front Hotel at Universal Studios Japan

10/10 Excellent

"Well located. Few steps from train station and the entrance of Universal Studios, Many places to eat en the area. Clean room, helpful staff."

BRACKETS HOTEL Osaka Hommachi

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay"

Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Honestly worth the splurge. Large rooms, awesome amenities, good location. The onsen was a godsend after walking 20k steps a day. You must be fully naked, and they provide covers for medium and small tattoos. Free ramen at 9 pm was cool, although we only took advantage of it once because we always had dinner right before 9. The tatami floors and being in socks all throughout the property was kinda cool, but sometimes hurts when your feet are hurting from walking so much. The rooms have everything you need, and the little grab & go ice cream was a nice treat. I wish the bed was softer, but I found that all the hotels I stayed in (4) had beds that were too hard for my preference. Hotel staff was super nice and very helpful. My favorite hotel I’ve ever stayed at, would highly recommend."

Remm Plus Kobe Sannomiya

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at Remm Plus Kobe Sannomiya for 4 nights and 5 days and had a wonderful experience! The check-in and check-out process was quick and easy, and the staff were very helpful throughout my stay. One of my favorite parts was the breakfast buffet—the dining area has a superb view, and the food quality was excellent. I especially enjoyed having Kobe beef every morning! Tip: Get to breakfast early if you want a seat with a beautiful mountain or city view. The room was comfortable, clean, and good quality. I also really appreciated how quiet it was—I didn’t hear much outside noise, so I was able to rest and sleep very well after long days exploring Kobe. If you love shopping and want an easy commute, you’re at the right place! There’s an American Pharmacy store downstairs, a FamilyMart nearby, and very convenient access to the Port Liner. The location makes it super easy to shop, grab what you need, and get around Kobe. Overall, I had a great time here and really enjoyed my stay. I would definitely recommend Remm Plus Kobe Sannomiya, especially if you’re looking for comfort, convenience, great food, and easy transportation!"
