The Rise Osaka Kitashinchi
Nice place. Very close to many shops and nightlife. Room is super small. Not at all what we are used to in the US. But we knew that going in. Overall the experience was wonderful. No complaints.

Zentis Osaka
The stuff were friendly and helpful. The hotel was very clean, i enjoyed the fact that fresh towels and pajamas provided everyday. The gym was adequate, but the weights/resistance section a bit lacking. Overall i enjoyed my stay and would stay there again when i visit Osaka.
