"Rooms very super clean. We stayed in rm. 411 and the outdoor onsen was indescribably amazing. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They offer shuttle within the onsen area which is super helpful. The onsen experience was amazing. Tho’ a bit pricey, I will definitely stay here again as a treat. The Kaseiki dinner was also amazing. It was a lot of food. Almost like tapas as there are many small portions (11 courses in total). After dinner, another onsen. Out of this world experience!"

Top Kita Ward Hotel Reviews

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Umeda Eki Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent area near it for food / etc., good vibes Launderette really useful and the convenience store too. Rooms small (not up to UK/Europe/USA sizes, but not the smallest so far)"

Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

8/10 Good

"If you check in early the hotel holds onto your luggage which is super helpful. The room sizes were very comfortable and the location was perfect for exploring. Only downside was the elevator has it would create a line during check-ins or checks out as it always stops on the second floor, which is the reception area."

Namba Oriental Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The location was convenient, and everything made our stay relaxing and enjoyable. We truly appreciated the warm hospitality and attention to detail. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for excellent service and a comfortable stay!” The best is market just steeping out less than 20 feet"

Centara Grand Hotel Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome hotel! If you are looking for some 100% Japanese this isn’t that, as I think it is a Thai brand, but it was EXTREMELY user friendly for American’s first go in Japan. The staff is exceptional, I cannot stress this enough. This is not an Ai review, I’m a normal bro from Oregon, USA. My biggest recommendation is to pay for the Club Level amenities. Was that expensive and it was truly hard to believe how amazing it was. My wife and I immediately started the process of booking a trip to Bangkok to stay at another Centara Grand property, which I think might be the best compliment a hotel chain can get. 5/5 stars. 10/5 stars for the hospitality. Kudos"

The OneFive Osaka Shinsekai

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast is only included for one person when booking not for an extras person. The food is alright . If you have picky eaters ( kids ). I’ll recommend you , just to go buy food outside or buy a one day breakfast to give it a try , instead of paying for your whole duration in advance."
