Top Kitano Hotel Reviews

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."

Miyako City Osaka Hommachi

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best hotels I stayed at in Japan. I will stay here again next time I'm in Japan. Rooms are clean, layout is efficient. I appreciated the deep, soaking bathtubs, hot water, and Toto bidet toilets. The complimentary coffee and beverage refreshments in the lobby were a welcome reward at the end of a long day of exploring. The breakfast buffet is excellent, and a one-time breakfast buffet credit for becoming a reward member is a nice feature. If only American hotels were this well managed."
