APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower
We had a great experience here as a family. The location near Namba Station and Dotonbori made exploring Osaka so easy, and the room was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Excellent value — we’d gladly stay here again!

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA
We did not have the breakfast, wish the airport limousine/shuttle stopped in front of the hotel. Even if the pickup area was a block away, it was raining the day we left so we got wet along with the luggage. Otherwise convenient location and friendly staff and amenities.

MIMARU Osaka Namba Station
The hotel is a fantastic place to stay for families visiting Osaka. We were travelling with two young children, and the staff were very friendly and assitive throughout the stay. The hotel has a games room with games for all ages, and a fun quest activity to find a hidden room in the hotel. Nice ...
