Top Nankin-machi Hotel Reviews

Namba Oriental Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Love staying here. The staff is friendly, the breakfast buffet is fantastic, and the location is very ideal. We will be back next year!"

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."

Miyako City Osaka Hommachi

8/10 Good

"This was a nice hotel in a good location of Osaka - walking distance to the train station at the Semba Centre building. We had booked a corner room with a balcony, but it was a strange layout and there was nowhere to put our luggage so it probably would have been better to have a regular room. We ended up having to use the small couch to put our luggage on - and stack it on top of each other, so not ideal! The beds were very comfortable but due to the size and layout of the room, it was difficult to watch the TV from our beds. There is a nice Chinese restaurant on the ground floor where we had a meal the night we arrived. There is a good selection of shops and stores around the hotel if you are needing supplies."
