APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower
This place is huge and felt very overwhelming. The breakfast wasn’t cleverly good. I would stick to 7 eleven and it took forever to get up or down sometimes as the place was so big! The onsen was nice and the location was ok.

Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka
The room is clean, but the front office staff weren’t very friendly and they weren’t very accommodating. I felt that they did not care for foreigners. I saw that they were more gentle with Japanese customers more than foreigners. The breakfast buffet was OK. I feel like they didn’t stock up ...

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA
I want to specially mention a front desk staff, Ms Watanabe, who helped to handle our luggage and check-in processes. She spoke very fluent English and served us professionally with a smile on her face.
