The Royal Park Canvas - Osaka Kitahama

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, kind staff, small room but comfortable with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Immediately next door to a metro station- very convenient!"

Toyoko Inn Osaka Namba

10/10 Excellent

"Vending machine downstairs"

Miyako City Osaka Hommachi

10/10 Excellent

"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."
