Top Kobe Animal Kingdom Hotel Reviews

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

8/10 Good

"Lobby is on the 9th Floor. It sometimes took 2 elevators to get there but once at the lobby, the access to another elevator to our room was easy. Elevator service was quick. Lobby was spacious with stations for general amenities to support needs the hotel provides. Baggage transfer from another hotel went perfectly. Room was clean and nice, small but not difficult to move around. Beds were touching, pushed together to allow for walking space on the outsides and for nightstands with a safe. Good windows for viewing the outside. Open closet, desk, refrigerator, glass cups but no complimentary water bottles offered. WC closet in separate room from shower/tub and sink/light in separate room also, convenient for multiple persons in the room to get ready. Lighting poor for applying make-up. Good location near train station and shops/multiple food outlets."

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel at a great price. We booked a 'superior room' which was quite a bit bigger and nicer than the other rooms we had on our trip to Japan. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was nice and big and full of great amenities. We really loved the fact that there was a 7/11 on the 4th floor, super convenient. We also used their laundry room which had plenty of machines that were reasonably priced. It was definitely our favorite hotel of the three we stayed at on that trip. I will be booking there again next time we go."
