Top Kitano Hotel Reviews

Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very helpful and kind, special thanks to Yuisa, who checked us in and the woman at the reception who checked us out. The room itself was well kept, we stayed 3 nights, our room was cleaned and towels changed every day. The city view was absolutely beautiful and worth the stay alone. Fairly amazing walking past the church just next to the elevators. Overall, very satisfied and would certainly stay there again."

Centara Grand Hotel Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"The Centara is a beautiful, modern hotel, with everything you could want. Most importantly, it is only a short walk from the Midosuji subway station. This is so important. There is direct access to the subway from the hotel via a skywalk through an outdoor mall. From there, you can take the line straight to Shin Osaka station, and get almost anywhere in Japan from there. If you are serious about traveling around in Japan, you want a quiet, soundproofed hotel with this level of access, and this is it. The staff were friendly and the room was amazing. I had a beautiful view of the city below, as well as a full-size king bed and a wonderful shower and bath. I almost did not want to return to Tokyo (and I regret that I did.)"
