The Royal Park Canvas - Osaka Kitahama
The hotel itself was very clean! The staff were nice and the room was big compared to others we stayed in. Bathroom was spacious and the beds were nice! We did not like that this was the only hotel that charged us a nightly tax but outside of that I don’t really have many complaints. It is VERY close ...
