Top Kitano Hotel Reviews

karaksa hotel grande Shin-Osaka Tower

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great stay, very close to the station."

Toyoko Inn Osaka Namba

10/10 Excellent

"Definitely very nice to have the luggage storage ability in the basement before and after check-in/checkout, coin washer and dryer, and breakfast included every morning. If you don’t have coins, you can exchange them at the reception. Laundry detergent is automatically dispensed with every load of laundry so you don’t need to add laundry detergent separately. It cost ¥300 to wash and ¥100 for every 12 minutes of drying. For a full load of laundry, between ¥200-¥300 was enough for me to fully dry the clothes using the highest heat setting of the dryer. Extra amenities are available in the lobby, and pajamas are available right across from the elevator. The design and size of the room are very practical. The water pressure was really nice even though we stayed on the 14th floor. Despite the location of the hotel, close to a highway, it was pretty quiet in our room and we had no issues with noise. The location of the hotel was excellent, right in front of the hotel there is an entrance to the train station, which makes it very convenient. There are many restaurant options in Namba Walk if you enter the train station via that entrance. The walk to Dotonbori was also very close by, making it convenient to go grab a meal in the area or walk back from shopping. Would highly recommend this hotel!"
