Candeo Hotels Osaka Namba

8/10 Good

"Well located, locals looks a bit dated. Loved using the public baths and laundry room in premises"

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

8/10 Good

"This is a really big restaurant with so many travelers from different countries. Everything goes smoothly during check in and out. Convenient transportation but still very hard to find everywhere, that’s due to this complicated area. The restaurant is fine, but next time I would like some quiet area. Unlike many same standard restaurants, they didn’t offer bottled water and cosmetic products."

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel! Right next to the LRT Station too!"

Sotetsu Grand Fresa Osaka - Namba

Good air conditioning & comfortable beds. Lots of areas to eat in close proximity. Would stay here again if returning to Osaka."

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! The front desk staff were very accommodating, polite and can communicate well in English. Clean room with comfy bed and amazing shower. Good location. Close to the station and convenient stores (Lawson, 7 Eleven, Family Mart). Walking distance to several tourist destinations like Dotonbori, Shinsaibashi, etc. I highly recommend this hotel."

Candeo Hotels Osaka The Tower

10/10 Excellent

"The amenities were fantastic. There is the rooftop onsen with baths and showers (tattoo friendly). There is coin laundry on site (a wash is ¥700, the machine only takes ¥100 coins)and there is a Familymart directly downstairs. There is luggage transfer in the hotel reception and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Location is 5 mins walk from the subway Best and most luxurious I’ve been too. Cannot recommend enough"
