Top Kitano Hotel Reviews

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."

Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"If you like a fantastic breakfast, this is a wonderful place to stay. The breakfast buffet was fabulous. Our room was comfortable and it is located as an easy walk between Yodoyabashi Station and Osaka Station. The location is perfect for those not craving the wild lifestyle. Its calm. My only regret was that we did not use all the hotels amenities until the last part of our 5 night stay. The onsen was good, and there is a tea and coffee bar on the second floor with the best teas I have ever had. Laundry facilities took ¥100 yen coins (easy if you do not have an electronic wallet)."

karaksa hotel grande Shin-Osaka Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel, conveniently located near Shin-Osaka Station. Our room was very comfortable and spacious, with good beds, a washing machine, and all the amenities we needed. As we were staying on one of the higher floors, we also had a lovely view over the city. Breakfast was very good and plentiful, with the famous takoyaki (octopus balls) and other local specialities to try. We were also able to leave our luggage at reception for a couple of days while travelling to another city, which was incredibly convenient."
