Top Kitano Hotel Reviews

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

8/10 Good

"A bit of a skyscraper, modern, well located hotel in the Umeda district. Good for getting around. The hotel is a bit souless, which starts from the moment you check yourself into the hotel. The rooms are tiny no room to swing a cat, but rooms are comfortable, clean, with good bathroom and Japanese mini bath. It is a popular and busy place, but room was quiet. Great view from the 21st floor. Good value for a couple of nights."

ANCHORED by RIHGA OSAKA NAMBA

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! The front desk staff were very accommodating, polite and can communicate well in English. Clean room with comfy bed and amazing shower. Good location. Close to the station and convenient stores (Lawson, 7 Eleven, Family Mart). Walking distance to several tourist destinations like Dotonbori, Shinsaibashi, etc. I highly recommend this hotel."

Candeo Hotels Osaka The Tower

10/10 Excellent

"The amenities were fantastic. There is the rooftop onsen with baths and showers (tattoo friendly). There is coin laundry on site (a wash is ¥700, the machine only takes ¥100 coins)and there is a Familymart directly downstairs. There is luggage transfer in the hotel reception and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Location is 5 mins walk from the subway Best and most luxurious I’ve been too. Cannot recommend enough"

Centara Grand Hotel Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Best hotel for families with kids that we experienced in Japan because of location, amazing breakfast and room with bunk beds. We had the 4 person corner room with bunk beds for the kids. The view from the kids beds was spectacular and felt special. Bed, room, bathroom and TV were great - couldn’t be more satisfied. And the highlight of the stay was the breakfast buffet - great value - has been our favorite breakfast travel experience. We’ve stayed here twice now and had great times. We used the second floor exit to walk through Namba Parks mall to get to train station and Dotonbori and such and it was super convenient. My son and I appreciated the quick access to all the local game and card stores (5-10 min walk)."
