Katano Vacations from NT$17,895

Staff was amazing! Super helpful! Rooms were nice and clean! Would definitely recommend!!

This hotel was perfect! Cleanliness was unmatched. The front desk staff we encountered all spoke English well and were very kind and helpful. We chose the room with the queen bed and the room itself was quite spacious with a gorgeous view facing Dotonbori. I will note that there are two sets of elevators you’ll have to catch —one from the ground level to the 22nd where the reception is and another to the rooms. We never had to wait long for a lift since I think there were at least 4 elevators but it couldve been a slow season. The hotel is situated in a fairly quiet area and even with the expressway below our room, the nights were quiet. A big bonus was the hotel was not overly heated! In our past visits to other areas in Japan in colder months, the rooms would be uncomfortably hot but that was not the case here. We visited in mid January. Location was great for our needs. It’s literally across the street from the OCAT bus terminal, which was very convenient since our transport to/from airport was through Airport Limo Bus. There’s a Family Mart on the basement level (closed Sundays) but in the same bldg is a full size grocery store, mini natural food shop, cosmetics shop, a huge DCM home goods shop and a CanDo 100Y shop. 10 min walk to Dotonbori, 15 min walk to Koromon Market and 20 min walk to Shinsekai. Namba Stn and Namba Walk is right underneath and it was a 20 min cab ride to Shin Osaka and Osaka Stn. If in Namba, we would stay again!

Spacious room with many luxuries.

Staff were friendly and helpful - spoke Japanese to them and they replied in Japanese (unlike others who want to try practicing their English with foreigners). Within walking distance to Dōtonbori and Amemura, but itself situated on a quieter road. Easy to get to train stations nearby. Bed had a comfy mattress. Free refills of tea and coffee left in our room every day. The room itself was a bit cramped though, with no space under the bed to store luggage.
