Top Kitano Hotel Reviews

Namba Oriental Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The location was convenient, and everything made our stay relaxing and enjoyable. We truly appreciated the warm hospitality and attention to detail. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for excellent service and a comfortable stay!” The best is market just steeping out less than 20 feet"

Centara Grand Hotel Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome hotel! If you are looking for some 100% Japanese this isn’t that, as I think it is a Thai brand, but it was EXTREMELY user friendly for American’s first go in Japan. The staff is exceptional, I cannot stress this enough. This is not an Ai review, I’m a normal bro from Oregon, USA. My biggest recommendation is to pay for the Club Level amenities. Was that expensive and it was truly hard to believe how amazing it was. My wife and I immediately started the process of booking a trip to Bangkok to stay at another Centara Grand property, which I think might be the best compliment a hotel chain can get. 5/5 stars. 10/5 stars for the hospitality. Kudos"

The OneFive Osaka Shinsekai

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast is only included for one person when booking not for an extras person. The food is alright . If you have picky eaters ( kids ). I’ll recommend you , just to go buy food outside or buy a one day breakfast to give it a try , instead of paying for your whole duration in advance."

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Umeda Eki Tower

10/10 Excellent

"The room was small, but this was only a one-night stay. The only complaint was that the walls were very thin. I received a call from reception stating that I was being too noisy while speaking on the phone with a friend. However, I was speaking at a reasonable volume."
