Candeo Hotels Osaka The Tower

"The hotel itself was beautiful! Rooms were pristine with great views of the city. The staff were very helpful and the all you can eat buffet served during lunch and dinner had some good options.

"Good location"

Namba Oriental Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is located in Sennichimae, a busy shopping and dining district, but we had no issues with noise at night. Check-in was extremely slow, with a wait of over an hour. The rooms are very spacious by Japanese standards, but poorly maintained, with stains on the carpet, ceiling and floorboards. Thankfully, the bedsheets and bathroom were clean. A highlight is the lounge, which offers complimentary alcohol and snacks—a great place to unwind each day."
