APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower
Excellent hotel. Clean. Rooms are small but functional. Located literally 50 meters from Namba station if you find the proper exit. The hotel is so big it has its own 7/11 on the 4th floor. Very convenient for snacks or a cheap meal. Dontonburi was a 8 minute walk or 500 yen taxi ride. Only issue ...

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.
