APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. We were able to walk to Dotonbori/Ibisu area in about 10 minutes. We frequently used the 7-Eleven on the 4th floor. The laundry room was convenient but busy. We had corner rooms on a high floor and the views were great. We also loved the JR Namba Station/OCAT building just out the back of the hotel which has a grocery store in the basement as well as many shops and restaurants throughout the building. The hotel was in great shape and clean."
