karaksa hotel grande Shin-Osaka Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

8/10 Good

"The location was ok. The entrance was on a small back street. It's rather difficult to find. There's an underground walk way entrance right by the hotel that connected all tge way to Osaka station, which is great in hot summer days. We stayed at a corner room on a lower floor with 3 beds. The room was larger than similar hotels. Modern, clean, functional. Each floor has a locked door by the elevator to access the floor with card key. The breakfast buffet was excellent. The dining room was large, clean. The staff were friendly. We loved the public bath. It's not onsen, spring water, but it was clean and modern. You check in with a staff with your room key to use the bath. The only negative point was it was too noisy outside as we stayed on a lower floor. Overall, excellent."

Miyako Hotel Kyoto Hachijo

10/10 Excellent

"The location was great,right next to the station and there is a shopping mall next to it. However, the station is huge and most of main things are the other side, if easily takes 10 mins to walk to get to the other side. Hotel was clean, room was nice and spacious. Amenities were great. We enjoyed staying this hotel for 4 nights."

Candeo Hotels Osaka The Tower
