Top Kitano Hotel Reviews

APA Hotel Namba Ekihigashi

8/10 Good

"Good"

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Umeda Eki Tower

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed in this hotel and one of the same chain in Tokyo. This branch in Osaka is half the price and twice as big. My room was comfortable enough to move around in. The laundromat had ~4-5 washers and dryers. My favorite amenity was the full Lawson store inside the hotel. There was also a spa. There were restaurants/bars inside the hotel, but it is also located conveniently next to streets and malls full of amazing food."

Miyako City Osaka Hommachi

10/10 Excellent

"My double bed room was spacious and clean. Friendly staff. Excellent hotel breakfast buffet! I’d highly recommend it because there are few food options around other than convenience stores open before 10 or 11am. The hotel provides free coffee, tea and pop in the lobby and we appreciated the filtered water refill stations on each floor. Washer and dryer machines were small and mediocre but expected compared to home appliances. Walking distance to public transportation. Overall very satisfied and would definitely stay here again."
