APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower
Excellent experience. Very clean, attentive housekeeping, ample amenities, and great price for the location. Breakfast buffet is highly recommendable for Japanese and foreigner for the variety. Worth every penny. Will be booking again.

Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka
Really liked this place, especially having the connected room if you are traveling with family. Check in was thorough. There was laundry machines available at an affordable price. The staff was very very sweet I am particularly talking about the sweet cleaning lady on our floor. The room was clean ...
