We would stay at the same hotel for the future trip. It has its hidden beauty and modern. It locates in Namba area. Namba area is one of the Osaka major touist hub for everything. We use Namba as a point of reference for navigation. Highly recommended it.

Centara Grand Hotel Osaka
Room was nice, spacious, and clean. The view was great. We came back to the room one night to a surprise slice of cake and a hand written card for my boyfriend's birthday, even though his birthday wasn't til 2 weeks later. That was very nice of the staff to go the extra mile to make our stay feel ...

Toyoko Inn Osaka Namba
Rooms are very basic and a bit tight for twin beds. Missed having an electrical outlet in the bathroom, needed to use my waterpik. Liked having the buffet breakfast however could not eat it every morning as it was not totally my taste. Location was fantastic and close to subway.
