Top Kitano Hotel Reviews

The Royal Park Canvas - Osaka Kitahama

10/10 Excellent

"Super friendly super clean 10/10 would recommend!!!"

Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

8/10 Good

"If you check in early the hotel holds onto your luggage which is super helpful. The room sizes were very comfortable and the location was perfect for exploring. Only downside was the elevator has it would create a line during check-ins or checks out as it always stops on the second floor, which is the reception area."

Namba Oriental Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The location was convenient, and everything made our stay relaxing and enjoyable. We truly appreciated the warm hospitality and attention to detail. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for excellent service and a comfortable stay!” The best is market just steeping out less than 20 feet"

The OneFive Osaka Shinsekai

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast is only included for one person when booking not for an extras person. The food is alright . If you have picky eaters ( kids ). I’ll recommend you , just to go buy food outside or buy a one day breakfast to give it a try , instead of paying for your whole duration in advance."
