Top hotels in Chuo
BRACKETS HOTEL Osaka Hommachi
Clean room, though tiny. Much of the service is self help besides check-in. An older staff member spoke very little English, but used a translation device and my little Japanese to help us transfer luggage. For the price it's a good value of you just want a place to sleep and feel safe.
