Top Nara Prefecture Hotel Reviews

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent
"I love staying at this hotel! It's great to have a 7-Eleven, laundry room, and the onsen facilities in the building. They are very organized when it comes to guest check-in, baggage storage, and checkout. However, because the hotel is so large and has many guests, you always have to wait a long time for the elevators. This becomes especially tricky at checkout time when you all need to depart before 10am. The elevators will get clogged up. You have to go to the upper floors to then go down to the lobby. The TV in the room automatically turns on to notify you to leave promptly."
