"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...

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

"Lovely place in a great location. Clean and nice room. Perfect for our 3 days in Osaka. Staff are helpful, friendly and polite and location was fantastic. Downstairs is shopping mall and restaurants, that was fantastic. Very busy place but not noisy at all. Well worth it."

Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great, just a little small room but we were very happy"

THE LIVELY OSAKA HONMACHI

10/10 Excellent

"👍"

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."

Sotetsu Grand Fresa Osaka - Namba

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were super helpful and welcoming. Everything was clean and perfect spot for both train and very close to Dotonbori."
