Top Kitano Hotel Reviews

Hotel Nikko Kansai Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Was amazing love the staff and the room stayed clean"

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"I rarely leave reviews, but I was so impressed with my stay that I just had to write one. I don't travel to Japan very often, and I usually expect the typical tiny, cramped rooms with barely any space to breathe. Even though I booked a slightly larger room this time, given the price of around USD 40 per night, I honestly didn't expect much—I figured, how big could it possibly be? To my surprise, it was quite comfortable and more than spacious enough for a pleasant stay. Here are the highlights that stood out to me: Bathroom & Amenities: Instead of cheap, token items just for show, the bathroom facilities and amenities were genuinely high quality and extremely user-friendly. Facilities: The public bath (onsen) inside the hotel was top-notch, and having a 7-Eleven convenience store right on-site made things incredibly convenient. Location & Accessibility: The hotel is located right next to the airport terminal. You can take a limousine bus straight from the airport and arrive right at the hotel (if you take the train, it's just a short walk of about one block). Getting Around: While it's a bit of a walk from the heart of Dotonbori, it's still very manageable on foot. Best of all, even if it's raining or too hot outside, you can use the underground walkways to get to the Namba shopping district comfortably and freely. It's a rare gem that offers unbeatable value and convenience. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip to Osaka!"
