"The hotel was great, would stay here again!"

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

8/10 Good

"Overall it was a very good hotel, very nice, good location, rooms were well maintained, breakfast was excellent. The only problem we had was the bathroom. The wet room and tub allowed nowhere to leave anything hanging dry. So you needed to place your change outside where there’s no door for privacy when you step outside. Then there’s very little hooks to place towels or clothes. May be minor to some people, problematic to others."

Namba Oriental Hotel

8/10 Good

"We have a very good experience staying at namba oriental hotel Staff was very very good ,helpful and friendly The property presentation overall was very good and clean Breakfast was next level at this hotel As well as all the other things"

Hotel New Otani Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"I thought the hotel was very beautiful! And the staff were amazing! I just thought the extra charges for the indoor & out door pools was a bit excessive. I think hotel guests should have lower complimentary rates for the use of the indoor pool in particular & the hot tub should be at a higher temperature for greater therapeutics!"

APA Hotel Namba Ekihigashi

"A delightful hotel in a very central area with excellent staff"
