APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

8/10 Good

"Good location. Near subway. On site laundry and ice dispenser was great. Would stay again."

Citadines Namba Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Definitely stay here"

Candeo Hotels Osaka The Tower

10/10 Excellent

"My room offered a stunning view of the city scape and you can get an even better view from the sky spa pool. They offer a decent breakfast buffet and the lunch and dinner buffet is actually a very good western style spread. The shower was a very nice rain fall style with an extra adjustable shower head and you can opaque the glass walls for privacy if you like. The bed was excellent and the TV was equipped with the usual apps but they do default to the Japanese version of the apps. The location is excellent with easy access to both the Osaka metro and the Keihan line."
