Top Kobe City Centre Hotel Reviews

Toyoko Inn Osaka Namba

10/10 Excellent

"Great amenities, close to train stations and main attractions such as Dotonbori."

Namba Oriental Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is a bit aged and it shows, but it still cleans up well. The washer dryer room is excellent, though. My main issue is the unwillingness for the staff to help with a simple damaged delivery that i shipped to this hotel. They refused to aid me in calling the shipping company and i had to request a manager. The shipping company did right by me for the damage, but the front desk employees at this hotel left a sour taste in the mouth. All i can say is, do better front desk employees, do better. My request for help was around 7 pm and the lobby was empty of check ins at that time."

karaksa hotel grande Shin-Osaka Tower

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was great for the value. Super close to the train station. We only stayed for 2 nights but it was very comfortable and convenient. They give you slippers and pijamas and there's free coffee and drinks available throughout. Breakfast was good. Beds were comfortable, room was super clean. Spotless. Shower pressure was excelent. We really enjoyed our stay. Wifi was fast and reliable. It is not super close to Dontobori and other Osaka attractions, but if you don't mind taking the subway, it is a very convenient commute. I would stay again and recommend."
