"We had a great stay. The hotel is very centrally located and we were able to easily walk from Umeda station. Lots of small authentic eateries in the area, a Lawsons right next door and a lovely bakery a few doors down. Access to the metro is also right outside. Our room was very comfortable , not huge, but all we needed. Staff also very friendly, was able to borrow an iron and board from the front desk. Would definitely stay again."
"Hotel Forza is right in the middle of the action in Dotombori. Even though it’s in a busy area, the rooms are well insulated so that you are not able to hear the outside noise."
"Pros: Good central location, loved the room.
Cons: laundry ruined our stay. There are 8 machines but a very large number of guests wishing to use the machines. Queued for 40 minutes to get to a machine. Machines badly maintained so what would have taken 2 hour wash and dry took 5 - the reason for the massive queues. Nowhere else we stayed in Japan was like this. Don’t stay here if you’re planning a laundry stop.
Room cleaning wasn’t up to scratch with basic items like cups not replaced. Coffee was clearly pre brewed and not barista style with a Nespresso machine like other (cheaper) hotels we have stayed in here.
Super easy to get lost and spent the first hour of our staying running around in Yobodashi Camera. This is partially our fault but don’t use google maps to try and find the hotel. Instead; follow the signs around the shopping complex.
Overall it didn’t feel like good value for money, compared to far cheaper hotels I’ve stayed in around the world. It takes 10 minutes to get out of the complex to find basics like food, coffee etc."
"Room is quite spacious for what it is but don’t expect anything fancy. This is a convenient place for layover, that’s it. No extra. It is a station away from the airport. That’s the main selling point. Actually, it’s the only selling point."
"Fantastic experience at this APA Hotel. The location is perfect for exploring, with easy access to public transit, restaurants, and shops. The room was impeccably clean and the bed was very comfortable. A special shoutout to the staff, who were always welcoming and friendly. Great value!"
"The hotel was well situated above Kitahama station and it can also be accessed via the subway from Yodabashi station which provides access to the Shin-Osaka station.
The room was smaller than we were expecting but it was still comfortable for 2 people, the breakfast option was very good with a good selection to cater for a range of palettes.
A range of amenities was provided in the reception area where guests can pick the amenity they require.
The Royal Park Canvas is a good option which is away from the hustle and bustle of the Dotonburi area but with good transport option so the city can be explored very easily from the doorstep of the hotel."
