"The property seems to be recently updated, it is modern, and clean. The amenity is lacking a few things (for example, it tells the guest to wash dishes and put them away but doesn’t provide a clothe to dry them). Also, the instruction isn’t super clear. The instruction reads to leave the key on the table when checking out (that’s what it says literary in English), when in fact you need to lock and put the key in the lockbox as one example. Also the road to access the property is quite narrow...

"It was a perfectly nice property, and was in a really good location. However, communications with the host were really poor, and check-in was a huge fiasco. I think they tried to provide check-in information to my home phone number, but obviously, as a traveller, I had no access to my home phone number. There was no other way to get in contact with this host. They provided us a phone number in the booking info, but we called it and it turned out to be the wrong number. We had to plead with the...

Top Nara National Museum Hotel Reviews

Its central location is incredibly convenient, with excellent restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and popular attractions within easy walking distance in every direction. The hotel is exceptionally clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced. The staff members were consistently professional, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. I highly recommend Cross Hotel Osaka to anyone looking for quality accommodations in the heart of the city."

Hotel Brighton City Osaka Kitahama

Namba Oriental Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location"

The OneFive Osaka Shinsekai

8/10 Good

"Overall, a really good experience. 300+ is she?"

THE LIVELY OSAKA HONMACHI

10/10 Excellent

"I made another solo leisure trip to Osaka and wanted to stay at a new hotel that was a good balance of value and convenience. Overall, I had a good experience during my stay at this hotel. The location was in Honmachi, which was a nice change of the more chaotic areas near Umeda and Namba, while also being very accessible to either areas by metro. The room was comfortable and spacious for the price point. Lastly, the staff was professional and helpful when I interacted with them. I did not have the hotel breakfast or visit the bar, since I ate at my favorite places in the area and only came back to sleep. However, it was a very enjoyable stay and a good hotel for solo leisure travel."

APA Hotel Namba Ekihigashi

10/10 Excellent

"Yes this room is tiny and frankly difficult to navigate in room with two people. You really can’t beat the location. Walking distance from lots of fun things to see and do. We booked two rooms for basically price of one- I really can’t complain."
