Right next to a metro station and walking distance to Osaka castle. Easy to get to most interesting parts of the city in 10-20 minutes. Everything was very clean, employees spoke very decent english and were also very helpful when we had small medical emergency during the weekend. Rooms are on the smaller side, but there is so much to see in Osaka you wont use them that much anyway.

Breakfast will get quite repetitive if you are staying longer. If your stays is more than 3 days I would recommend to just go to "konbini" or some local establishments and try different things. Very minor thing though.

If it's your first time in Osaka, or Japan, you must stay here. It is really good value for money and is in a perfect location for the Osaka metro lines (Temmabashi). Osaka Castle is also round the back of the hotel and thee are plenty of places to eat nearby. Of course there is a Family Mart right outside. The rooms are typically sized for Japan but are comfortable. I also travelled for work and was able to work in the rooms with fast wifi and amenities nearby

For some reason my refrigerator was automatically set onto freezing temperatures, so anything I put in froze regardless of me adjusting the temperatures. But could just have been that room.

1. It was in a good location, and the Metro was just a few minutes walk away. 2. There was a FamilyMart nearby - really helpful for getting food. 3. The room was a decent size, and had a better layout than the APA Hotel I stayed in in Tokyo. I didn't have to keep putting my luggage under the bed so as to be able to walk around in the room. 4. It had an onsen (although an artificial one), and I went there every evening after coming back to the hotel. 5. There was a microwave oven and an ice dispenser on the 2nd floor. 6. I would stay there again if I'm ever in Osaka again.

There was nothing I didn't like. It was the best hotel I stayed in throughout my month long stay in Japan.

Liked breakfast but same every morning. Walked to Castle with difficulty. Weather wasn't best. No English TV No handles to get out of bath so couldn't use it. No education for things in bedroom. No cold water for kettle. View Open window instead of AC. Torch available, Park close by. Train nearby Japanese box of entrees to start at breakfast

Breakfast same every day. Castle walkable and park. Level 13! Asked for low level. English to ask staff. Best to have English notice of places to see and directions in English. Black is manly. No handles for getting out of bath so couldnt use it. No English TV. Directions to top sights to see not given Staff didn't say about room facilities like torch. No cold water for kettle.

We loved staying in APA Hotel! The location was perfect, 2 min walk from the metro station and 5 min walk from the Osaka Castle. The staff was friendly and helpful! The hotel is very clean and i loved the smell of clean laundry in the halls :) APA is also very generous with amenities, we were getting new towels, shower caps, yukatas, toothbrushes etc. every day. You can also use hotel umbrellas if its rainy outside. Would definitely recommend this place!

Even though the room was great it was still a bit small for two people so if you are travelling together you need to be ready for limited space. Also the trash bins were small as well, they get filled up very quickly. But as far as I know you can collect extra trash and place it outside of the room for it to be taken away.

Localization of the hotel is really good, 2 minutes from metro station. With this line you will get almost everywere or easyly change for diferent one. My room was really nice and clean. It has all you need shampo, conditioner, body wash and much more like comb or toothbrush and toothpaste. You will recive clean towels everyday. If you wont you can request cleaning free of charge. Moreover, in this hotel you will found onsen it is wonderful way of relax. Next, there are washing machines on flor one and as well us one in onsen. What is more, breakfast are really good. You will ricive bento box as a apetizer. Then you can eat variety of food from bufet. There is big choise of drinks as well. Everyone in the hotel was really nice and helpfull. I would like to thank to two reception employes who help me with really long for to send my package. Dearly thanks to ladies A.IYO and R. NAGAOKA. ( I am sorry I could make mistake with the names and surnames becouse my picture is not good.) They bouth were exelent and I took a lot of their time and efort to do it for me. Arigatōgozaimasu. Definitly I will chose this hotel if I am back in Japan and I am recommending it to everyone.

Very close to a FamilyMart and Temmabashi Station exit 3 on the purple Tanimichi Line. It has laundry, but only two washers and two dryers. They’re coin operated. The front desk was helpful in getting me a taxi. Close to Osaka hotel, and you can take the Tanimichi line to the Sennei? line to get close to Dotonbori.

When I arrived Friday night they suggested I pay in USD because it was a better rate. Better for them, yes. That was frustrating because I’d been traveling for like 25 hours and wasn’t thinking clearly.

I was delighted with the hotel and the room. For the price, both KEIHAN LINE and OSAKA METRO LINE are very convenient. It is also a relatively walking distance from Osaka Castle. The bonus is that the station nearby the hotel has an elevator so I never struggled with the luggage. It's a few stations away from famous tourist spots as well. I would stay in this hotel again if given the chance. Very comfortable and the room is quite big for a solo traveler. 1. The best is so soft 2. The room is so clean and quite spacious actually 3. The sauna is clean and well-maintained 4. There a laundry and dryer machines 5. Convenient check-in and check-out process 6. There's a Convenience store beside the hotel 7. 3 minutes away from the nearest Train Line

My room is on the 6th floor facing the highway, there's not enough soundproofing so it's quite noisy, I could hear the cars passing 100%, Despite being tired from all the walking and touring around Osaka it's quite hard to sleep with the noise, but other than that the hotel itself is fine. Maybe request a room not facing the highway.

Great location. The Osaka castle was within walking distance and could be viewed from the street corner that the hotel is near. Also very close to a subway station and within walking distance to a JR line making commuting around Osaka as well as inter-city travel (day trips to Nara or Kyoto etc.) very convenient.

As with many hotels in Japan, be prepared for small rooms. Suitcases can fit under the bed, but to access open suitcases may be a tight squeeze, especially if you're travelling with a partner.

The in-hotel/side restaurant with a self-serve counter was a bit expensive by how much I eat (1800 same day, 1600 reservation the day before), but more so confusing as I had hoped to see cuisine unique to the area, but only saw Western/European style dishes except the salad. When arriving at the hotel I was surprised that they have a "Onsen"-type hot bath in the second floor that is free to use by guests, only limited by capacity and two time slots (morning/evening-night). The wi-fi connection and free TV usage was a lifesaver as the phone didn't quite get a strong enough signal for the eSim and hearing the news and having stretch routines throughout the news cycle surprised me. Amenity packages being placed on the door every few days were a surprise and honestly a bit much by how little I had used the in-room supplies before the first and even second bags came around. The location itself being in Tanimachi 1, a block away from the Osaka castle, Osaka Museum and other locations including the river with ferry busses. A quick 40min walk (or a train ride away from the corner station) to Osaka Station to see some old parts of the city and the markets was fascinating. Family Mart and 7 Eleven blanketing almost every corner of the main street along with vending machines everywhere assured me of never running out of drinks, what with even the hotel itself having vending machines on both 1F and 2F.

The in-hotel/side restaurant with a self-serve counter was a bit expensive by how much I eat, their water heating machine for tea didn't work. The view out the window was just another building.
