Top Kitano Hotel Reviews

Candeo Hotels Osaka The Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay! Especially because it’s walking distance from a train station. However if you are not an early bird like myself you’ll need to be up before 8 am to notify staff about room keeping if not you miss out."

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Umeda Eki Tower

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is large and beautiful with good food options. Staff were very attentive and helpful. We loved the breakfast buffet which had both western and Japanese cuisine. Rooms were small as expected in a standard room but value for money. Centrally located near transport, shops and restaurants. I would recommend the hotel if visiting Osaka."

Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Honestly worth the splurge. Large rooms, awesome amenities, good location. The onsen was a godsend after walking 20k steps a day. You must be fully naked, and they provide covers for medium and small tattoos. Free ramen at 9 pm was cool, although we only took advantage of it once because we always had dinner right before 9. The tatami floors and being in socks all throughout the property was kinda cool, but sometimes hurts when your feet are hurting from walking so much. The rooms have everything you need, and the little grab & go ice cream was a nice treat. I wish the bed was softer, but I found that all the hotels I stayed in (4) had beds that were too hard for my preference. Hotel staff was super nice and very helpful. My favorite hotel I’ve ever stayed at, would highly recommend."

Hearton Hotel Shinsaibashi

8/10 Good

"The hotel is generally clean and comfortable. For the price, you get value out of it. The staff is less courteous than staff at other Japanese hotel. But is generally helpful. Maybe the staff thinks Hearton is a budget hotel and therefore doesn’t need to be at a higher level of courtesy. One thing I would not recommend is the breakfast. There are few dishes. Most of them are cold or salad dishes. The rice is some type of brown rice. That is a big disappointment. No warm noodles. Overall, it s a good hotel for the price. But don’t pay for the breakfast."
