The Royal Park Canvas - Osaka Kitahama

8/10 Good
"The hotel was right above a station, which made travelling around Osaka so easy. The hotel was very clean, and the staff were amazing; they helped us out with an issue with our luggage forwarding. The only small issue we can hear the noise of the cars through the window which made sleeping difficult."
