Hotels in Kansai region

The location is convenient, and the hotel staff are warm and thoughtful. I really liked it and will definitely come again next time! (The previous review was already very detailed, so I'm just leaving a quick comment as I saw a pending review here. I'll definitely be back next time I visit Kyoto!)

Traveling to Kyoto with my family, choosing to stay here was definitely the right decision. The hotel offers a shuttle service to and from Kyoto Station, which is incredibly convenient. The buffet breakfast is on the 17th floor, offering lovely views of Higashiyama and the Kamo River. The breakfast spread is quite extensive and the quality is good.

Hotel Okura Kyoto was the most pleasant surprise of our entire trip. First off, you can walk directly into the hotel from the subway. After getting off the subway, you enter a shopping mall, and the walk from the mall to the hotel has a very upscale feel to it. The hotel staff were incredibly welcoming; we weren't sure how to get to the lobby for check-in from a shop in the mall, and a staff member...

We recommended this hotel to all kinds of travelers from nearby beautiful places and shopping areas spacious room, delicious meals and good services

Beautiful and very hospitality hotel

Top end hotel of all we tried while traveling around Japan. Large room, spacious bathroom, good quality beds and pillows. Convenient central Kyoto location, next to subway station and in close proximity to many local attractions. If you a keen runner, there is a beautiful run and walking route around the river and map is provided by hotel. Breakfast was reasonable prices with good verity of both...

Stayed here for 4 days with friends and had a very good experience. The location is excellent, right near Shinsaibashi, making it very easy to walk around, shop, and find food. Rooms were clean and comfortable, and housekeeping was consistent throughout the stay. Staff were polite and helpful, even with language differences. Amenities are simple but sufficient for a longer stay focused on exploring...

Nice hotel. Near restaurant area. next to train station. Nice staff. The most I love is... smoking room. Good price for Osaka.

Really good hotel. It takes about 15 minutes of walking to reach Namba. Rooms were above average in-size and hotel was located off the busy nightlife area. 2-3 minutes walk to train station easy with luggage. This is my second time staying in this hotel. Will definitely return.

great service, good location next to exit 4 of NAGAHORIBASHI metro station free ice free amenities free microwave but the bed was a bit small and blanket too and also bad smell from smoke🥲 all over the first floor

This hotel is under Hotel Route Inn management. So the room is as usual to be small and cramped. Yet its facilities are far less than Hotel Route Inn. No public bath. Poor breakfast variety choice. Chargeable car parking. Hotel also locates 10 mins. to 15 mins. walk from all tourist spots. Hotel serves guests in tourist region rather than key business region. Tourists like to have snapshots...

The hotel is very close to popular shopping areas, just a short walk away. There's enough space in the room to fully open a suitcase, and the staff are very enthusiastic.

Location was amazing. Hotel was exactly what you needed, but nothing more. Rooms were a bit small. Bathrooms were a little smelly. Bit right in the middle of everthing you needed. Close to all the pokemon cards, close to dontabari. Close to the markets. Good for the location.

Location is the best bit. Straight into the Dotonbori district, closer to Namba station, and there is a Lawson directly over the road. Rooms are clean and comfy. My only feedback is that rooms and bathroom are on the small side, and pillows a bit flat. Otherwise great. I'd stay again.

Location was great. The shopping streets are right beside it! Filled with restaurants, pharmacies, Japanese food wares, connected to multiple shopping streets. Namba train station 8mins walk away, Kuromon market 5mins walk and many more. Apa hotel do not provide daily housekeeping or bottled water (welcome bottled water only on day1), they does it every 3rd day and provide the towels exchange at your...

Have stayed at other apa hotels and they were great. This was a bit small. No room for suitcase. No under bed storage making it feel extra cramped. Refused 20 min early check-in despite the room being ready and already waiting 3 hours wanted 2000y fee. So sat and waited. Customer service concept is non existent when it comes to check-in, obviously early check-in is a money maker for Apa. I think western...

I recently stayed at APA Hotel Namba-Eki Higashi and overall had a pleasant experience. The hotel is in a great location, just a short walk from Namba Station and very close to Dotonbori, making it super convenient for sightseeing and food hunting. There’s also a Lawson convenience store right opposite the hotel, which was really handy for grabbing snacks, drinks, or anything needed during the stay...

Its predominant advantage of this nation-renowned chain hotel is the location - 5-minute walk from/to the train station and near the traveler’s most beloved local store - the Donki mall. Tightly moderate room space with season-dependent varying prices. Bathroom like most of everywhere else in Japan has tiny compartment which, in my opinion, the European guys might probably find it uncomfortable. The...

Nice location, good breakfast. Convenient location, close to train station. In between the two main hubs within Osaka, would highly recommend.

Very pleasant place! Appreciate support from hotel for a personnal request

Convenient location, clean rooms, but the mattress was uncomfortable and there was no water cooler on my floor.

This is a great hotel located close to all the attractions. Its also close to train stations that gets you to Osaka and Namba stations quickly. The hotel staff are all nice and very helpful. The everyday breakfast was great. Highly recommend this hotel.

Everything else was fine, but they were supposed to clean the room every three days, and when I got back at night, it hadn't been cleaned at all, not even the trash was emptied. I checked out on the fourth day, and it really ruined my mood late at night ☹️

It was a good experience. The breakfast is really nice and room is also good.

Room size & setting 👍🏻 Coffee machine is fit & easy to handle

The room isn't huge, but it's perfectly sufficient for one person. It's located right above Namba Station on a high floor, offering amazing panoramic views of the entire Namba area. Since it's the off-season, the hotel was also very affordable.

Very elegant classy European-like hotel. The lobby makes you feel you are in a 5 or 6 stars hotel! You will see a small cathedral in the lobby. The location is just beside OCAT which is super helpful if you are taking the airport limousine bus. It is next to a big supermarket too. To take subway, use exit 30 which is right in front of the hotel. Rooms are big enough to open up two 24 inch luggages...

Better than expected stay. Convenient less than 10 mins walk to JR Namba station and Dontobori area. Beautiful City view

Super clean, comfortable bed. Quiet room. 6 stars. Can walk everywhere

The view from the room was absolutely 100/100! I specifically chose Namba this time because I didn't want to get lost in Umeda. Turns out, if you follow Google's directions to JR Namba Station's Exit 32, you'll find the hotel in a second! Plus, the bus stop for Kansai Airport is right next door. The hotel's location is unbeatable.

The room was very clean and spacious. The hotel is right next to a bus stop and a convenience store, which made getting around super easy. All the staff were really welcoming and provided excellent service. I'll definitely choose this place again on my next trip to Kyoto!

The service was great, and the environment was nice too. The main advantage is the convenient location, very close to the tram station, making it easy to get anywhere. There are also many supermarkets and convenience stores nearby, which is handy for shopping. However, it's a bit of a shame that the public bath isn't a hot spring.

I was very satisfied with this hotel. It was clean and hygienic, and a taxi ride from Kyoto Station cost about 1500 yen. When I checked out, the Shijo branch helped transfer my luggage to the Mitsui Garden Hotel in front of Kyoto Station for only 500 yen. I had originally scheduled to pick up my luggage at 6 PM, but my plans changed, and I went to pick it up at 1:50 PM. The staff helped me with my...

Extremely satisfied! 😀 The lobby always smells amazing, and I got an incredible price for a 5-night stay this time. Super happy! I'll definitely be back! Always beautiful Kyoto!

I stayed here about eight or nine years ago, and it's still just as good! I'll definitely choose it again next time I'm in Kyoto!

This was my first stay at Mitsui Shijo, and its location helped me discover several delicious and affordable restaurants nearby. Overall, the stay was great, but I really can't recommend the public bath. It was crowded, and none of the tubs were being filled, which made me worry about the hygiene. It would be perfect if there was a microwave next to the ice machine. I was also very happy to receive...

Generally very good Room is big enough and equipped with makeup table Location good Carpark good Have coffee corner in lobby

The food in the breakfast session is just above average, no big surprise. Others are excellent.

The location is nice as you have shelter to the Osaka Station. Will recommend the others to stay.

Not the hotels’ fault that I picked this location, most of the food and shopping we wanted was just a train ride away. Getting into the hotel between 3 and 4pm was difficult because of check in being on the second floor and buses of guests arriving at that time. All were using the lifts to get to reception, so we had to go somewhere else while the new arrivals checked in.

The location is good surrounding with lots of resturant and shops. JR stations are also nearby. I ordered goods twice  from Amazon Japan delivered to hotel and the services were very good.

Monterey Group hotels really have great taste! Definitely worth staying at!

It was pretty good; I stayed here when I was attending a conference. The 7-Eleven right across from the hotel was very convenient. There are also direct public transport links to the Sannomiya area nearby, making it easy to get around. Overall, it's a good place.

Overall, the room was clean and spacious. The lighting could be dimmed, which was nice. The staff are kind and give a warm welcome. However, the room and carpet were a bit old, which is understandable given the property’s age. - Close to 7-Eleven - near Portliner station (can walk in 4-5 mins)

The location is nearby Kobe airport, port-island. Nearby Ikea - Kobe. The room is clean and comfortable to stay. I just had issue a bit with the AC. I stayed during autumn season, when I arrived the room is super hot and there is no AC. I complaint to the staff they said I need to open the window cause during autumn season they turn off the AC (central) and change it with heater. I understood about...

Clean hotel room, good facilities. Bed mattress was hard, which I liked. Pillow was too hard. As a pretty tall person I could not stand up straight in bathroom. Location is walking distance for business district, and close to public transport.

I chose this hotel because I had a conference at the convention centre not knowing I have limited choice of getting something to eat (looking for halal option). Despite the lacking, I was able to survive for 3 days as I had to commute the Portliner to get something to eat. The location was quite a distance towards the portliner station therefore you have to walk a bit with your luggage if you are coming...

Situated on a man-made island, the hotel is just about a five-minute walk from the light rail station, making it incredibly convenient for getting to the airport and Sannomiya. The room amenities were quite luxurious and very impressive. The staff were exceptionally friendly and incredibly thoughtful, always paying attention to guests' needs. Best of all, it offers excellent value for money. Highly...

Despite being away from the city they charge for parking and also despite being a platinum elite member no benefits extended. They were pretty stuck about everything and I did not enjoy the lack of care. We celebrated my wife’s 50th birthday there and they were aware and the gift that was kept in the room was 2 sachets of bath salt. Something really needs to be done in terms of service.

This hotel stay was quite bizarre from start to finish. First off, because we booked during maple leaf season, the price was in the four figures, but neither the service nor the facilities met the standards one would expect for that price point or for a 5-star hotel, as some reviews claimed. The hotel's location is actually quite convenient; although it's a bit far out, it's very close to the subway...

The location is quiet, the hotel environment is excellent, and the service is very professional. The rooms are spacious with great views, and opening the window lets in fresh air. The welcome gift was a pleasant surprise. The only downside was the high price due to the holiday season.

The environment here is great, very tidy and clean. The breakfast was delicious, and the location is super convenient for visiting nearby temples. Getting around by subway is also very easy. Overall, the hotel felt very quiet and comfortable.

Excellent! The room was very spacious and clean. The front desk service was also great. This was the most satisfying stay during my trip to Japan.

They upgraded us to a massive suite, which was a pleasant surprise and a little unexpected 😀. The hotel itself has good facilities and service. It's a bit far from Kyoto's main attractions, and dining options nearby aren't very convenient. The luggage delivery service to Kyoto Station was very thoughtful (and inexpensive).

Right next door to a 7-Eleven, with several FamilyMarts and Lawsons nearby. The subway station is a reasonable distance away. The hotel has listened to feedback and now provides disposable slippers, and you can get a complimentary bottle of water every day. The business district is pretty quiet at night. There's a well-stocked Life supermarket about 20 minutes away, and also a Matsuya and Torikizoku...

Our first stop in Japan was Osaka, and we stayed at the Keihan Hotel Yodoyabashi – it was excellent and highly recommended! From Kansai Airport, we took the Nankai Rapid Express to Namba. After exiting the station, we found the Midosuji Line and took it one stop towards Minoh to Yodoyabashi. From there, we looked for Exit 18 of the Keihan Line, went up to ground level, spotted a 7-Eleven, and the...

I booked this hotel based on recommendations, and the location is indeed excellent, plus the surrounding area is quiet, and the staff service is great. However, the room is really too small; there's no space to open a suitcase. It's barely okay for one night, but staying longer would feel cramped.

The room size is good, we could open three suitcases at once. The amenities inside are excellent, all brand-name products. The location is superb, with several transport lines nearby, making it convenient to go anywhere. This time, my friends and I went to Osaka for a concert, and staying here was incredibly convenient and fast.

Hygiene: The room was very clean. For guests staying multiple nights, a full cleaning is provided every three days; otherwise, they offer towel changes and trash bag replacement. Facilities: The decor is quite new. Upon check-in, I received a room upgrade to a larger size than the economy twin room I originally booked. It had a table and two chairs by the window, which I don't think the original room...

This hotel's location is fantastic, super close to the subway station, making getting around incredibly convenient! The facilities are all top-notch and well-maintained, everything works perfectly. Overall, the check-in experience was excellent, the service was attentive, and the value for money is unbeatable. I'll definitely choose this place again next time I'm in town!

We stayed 2 nights at Oriental Hotel Universal City with 2 adults and 2 boys. The hotel is in a very convenient location near USJ, and our stay was comfortable. We especially appreciated that the staff kindly added one extra bed for us without us even asking. It was a very thoughtful touch, and we are grateful for their kindness.

Excellent! I've stayed here twice. The only downside is that there's no heating. Haha, just documenting my trip.

Aside from the small room, there's nothing bad to say. Check-in and check-out were very convenient. It's just a 5-minute walk from the Universal Studios entrance, located at the end of the main street, offering a quiet escape from the hustle and bustle, and dining options are easily accessible. The hotel provides breakfast, afternoon tea, drinks, and ice cream, which was a very thoughtful touch. You...

This is my third time staying at this hotel. The first time was 10 years ago, so naturally, the hotel is quite old. With a constant stream of tourists, the facilities aren't new either. However, Japanese hotels generally maintain their properties quite well. While I've seen some reviews complaining about minor details, I personally haven't encountered any issues, which is why I keep coming back here...

The location is excellent, right outside the JR station. The hotel also sends an email in advance for online check-in. The room is new, and the window view is great; you can even see the queue situation.

The room was really clean, and for Japan, it was actually quite spacious. The location is fantastic, just a few dozen meters from Universal City Station, right at the entrance to Universal Studios. I definitely recommend it.

Location was excellent!  Next to the Shin-osaka station.      A little old but big spacious room!     The only thing is...We stayed on a lower floor and the noise from the highway can be heard quite loudly.

It’s great location and I will come back again thank you thank you

The location is perfect for who traveling by Shinkansen it connects with the hotel. Reception can speak English fluently great service. For the room is clean and quiet big love the toilets and showers space is good. Love it!!

Super convenient location. Big room. The staff were very kind. Just steps away from Shin-Osaka station and 30min from Dotonburi via the metro.

Everything was great. It's only a five-minute walk to Shin-Osaka Station, making it very convenient for transportation.

The breakfast was unexpectedly good, with attentive service and a wide variety of choices. Plus, the hotel's location is incredibly convenient, right outside the North Exit of Shin-Osaka Station.

Excellent value for money. Lots of free amenities. Very close to the airport and a shopping retail park. I would definitely stay again.

The room was clean and tidy, with convenient facilities and warm, attentive service. It's less than a ten-minute walk from the airport bus stop, and close to several duty-free shops, which made my last two days in Japan feel peaceful and comfortable. The airport bus was punctual, and I even noticed hair clips and a mirror inside – so cute! I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Kansai Airport

Location is convenient, hotel have free transport, easy to find.good for long hour transit passengers

Rooms is abit old. But location going to airport is good. Not much food to look forward near hotel except convenient shops. Plus point is the breakfast.

Good for location especially with shuttle to Kix. Free parking for the guest is a plus. Check in and out is via machine. But ammenities are very limited such as no pillow choice and suggests to put towel under them.  The assigned room is close to main road and very noise throughout the whole night. Won't choose this next time.

This is a hotel I've stayed at multiple times. Every time I leave Osaka, I make sure to book my last night here. They consistently reserve the same room for us, which is a nice touch. We stayed for six days and five nights this time. The breakfast selection remains fantastic every day. We didn't request housekeeping during our stay, only fresh towels daily. All in all, it's a hotel I'd happily return...

After comparing several hotels for this trip to Japan, I ultimately chose The Westin, and overall, I'm very satisfied with my stay. The twin room I booked had spacious beds, and there are multiple shopping malls conveniently located near the hotel, making dining and shopping very accessible. Highly recommended!

After a long search, I finally settled on The Westin, an established hotel that was renovated last year. Location: It's a 6-7 minute walk from Osaka Station, which is both convenient and peaceful, tucked away from the hustle and bustle. Cleanliness: There's really nothing to complain about when it comes to cleanliness in Japanese hotels. Facilities: The room was spacious enough, which was my favorite...

The room was spacious and the hygiene was good. The hotel isn't very large but it's well-designed and chic. The shuttle bus service ends a bit early, but otherwise, everything else was pretty good. The hotel is a little bit of a walk from Osaka Station, but it's a pleasant stroll after dinner.

The main selling point is the spacious room – plenty of space for luggage!

I was extremely satisfied with my stay this time; it's honestly one of the most comfortable hotels I've stayed in recently. The location is excellent: The hotel is in the city center with incredibly convenient transportation. It's just a 5-minute walk to the subway station, making it easy to get to all the major attractions and shopping areas. Even though it's in a bustling area, the soundproofing...

The location is quite out of the way, and the facilities are a bit old. However, the hotel's shuttle bus is very convenient. There's an underground food street nearby, but it's not very popular.

A clean, tidy, and convenient hotel. There's a shopping mall right downstairs, which is a big plus.

It's close to Itami Airport, but the surrounding area is quite secluded.

Affordable, conveniently located, and close to many dining options.

The location is convenient, and everything else is fine except for the mini-sized room.

Amazing experience! The team was incredibly attentive and made us feel truly valued. Our room offered a stunning view, had all the amenities we needed, and felt wonderfully upscale. The hotel’s ambiance was delightful, and its location was perfect for discovering the city. We’ll definitely return for a longer stay

Room was large in Japan hotels. Around 2mins walking distance from subway station. The hotel is located on the upper floors of a building while the lower floors are shopping malls. There are other shopping malls, supermarkets and restaurants around. On the other hand, some garbage (used plastic bags) from previous tenants was found inside the room. Although the location was quite hidden and did...

The front desk staff were very polite, but it seemed there weren't any Chinese-speaking staff. The hotel feels a bit old, and it seems to cater more to local Japanese guests rather than mainland Chinese tourists. It's a bit far from Kamo River, and it's about a 2km walk back from the shopping street. It's quite close to the subway station (and two lines intersect there), but in Kyoto, it's generally...

Great hotel to stay at Kyoto! Love the hot spring bath! It's definitely a big plus. 2 min walk to metro station is very convenient. Room is spacious. TV can watch YouTube! Will stay again if I ever come Kyoto again.

The hotel's location is super convenient. The bathhouse and lounge on the 13th floor were a big bonus for our stay, and the lounge even offers a complimentary beer every afternoon! 👍👍👍

I had a great overall stay at this Osaka hotel, primarily thanks to its fantastic location which offers easy access to public transport and sits within walking distance of major tourism spots. While the room was quite small and the facilities were limited—which is expected for a 3-star property—the space was well-utilized and served as a convenient base for exploring. What really stood out was the...

Everything was fine, just the public bath quite small and short opening time, always long queue during peak hour.

Thanks to the hotel for giving this 'maple leaf refugee' an unforgettable memory! The hotel's hot spring was great, and the breakfast tasted good, though it got a bit repetitive after four days 😂 For those reading this, here's a bonus tip: the furisode at the costume shop opposite Yuanshan Park are super cheap, highly recommended! Finally, it's a shame I still couldn't make it to Kibune-Sanzen (°ー...

This hotel gives the basic comforts we need for a trip to Osaka, with confortable rooms that has a japanese style to it. The evening drinks and late night ramen is a welcomed service offered by the hotel, especially after a long day of sightseeing. Location is quite good, where its near a supermarket and a subway station. Its also very near to Shinsekai.

Wonderful place for families. Lots of activities and free food. Amazing onsen which is not crowded. Room is spacious and clean. Will surely stay again when I visit osaka.

Hotel is located next to the metro station, it is very convenient to get around the city. On top of that, there are ramen served every night.

First off, the location is absolutely fantastic! It's literally a 1-minute walk from the subway exit, super convenient. Plus, Tsutenkaku is right next door, making dining and shopping incredibly easy. The hotel's cleanliness is excellent, and the hot springs are a free bonus!

Amazing hotel with amazing amenities like Onsen spa included in the price plus free ramen and beer also there is sky garden with beautiful views! Great deal!

The hotel is accessible by subway, but you'll need to transfer if you're coming from the airport. They offer complimentary drinks starting in the afternoon, and free ramen at 9 PM. There's a hot spring bath in the building across the street, and a free massage chair on the first floor, though it's often occupied. A large supermarket is just a right turn from the exit. The room size is typical for Japan

The housekeeping is so perfect. Our rooms are so clean everyday .

The service was very attentive, and the location was quite convenient.

Conveniently located near Osaka Umeda Station, this established 5-star hotel offers well-managed services. The high-floor corner rooms are spacious and provide expansive views.

This hotel is great! The location is excellent, making it super convenient to get everywhere. It's also incredibly clean and beautifully decorated. They even left chocolates for us, and the staff were all very friendly.

Although the room was small, it was very comfortable, and the bathroom was excellent. The hotel front desk staff were great and had no problem communicating in English. Room service food was also delicious, but the Chinese restaurant was quite mediocre.

The hotel's location is convenient, about 1km from the commercial center's Daimaru and Hankyu department stores, and around 600m from the subway station. The room facilities are well-maintained, and the staff are enthusiastic. Breakfast is well-organized with orderly queuing, though the variety of dishes is just average.

nice view, comfortable, calm, good shuttle bus service,

The hotel interior is quite new. They offer a shuttle service, which is shared with the Okura Hotel. It's a small bus, with half the seats allocated to the Oriental and half to the Okura. If it's busy, you need to get in line early or you won't get a seat. My room had a view of the Ferris wheel. Overall, it was very good.

The sea view room offers an unbeatable view, with the Ferris wheel and Kobe Port Tower all visible. The room is spacious and very clean, with a balcony where you can watch both sunrise and sunset. The hotel's breakfast is highly recommended, with a wide variety of Japanese and American options, including freshly made mini-burgers – definitely give them a try!

The room and balcony are both quite spacious. It faces the sea and the hygiene is excellent. Both in terms of location and room quality, it feels like the best hotel in Kobe. The hotel lobby and exterior are also very beautiful. It's definitely worth staying here.

An iconic landmark by the harbor! From the balcony, you can even see the queue of people taking pictures in front of 'Be Kobe.' Although there's no subway nearby, the shuttle bus to Sannomiya runs roughly three times an hour. The rooms are spacious, and the pajamas are very comfortable.

Unbeatable views! The room layout felt a bit dated, but the higher-priced rooms are newly renovated, and breakfast was amazing.

This is our second stay at this hotel. The location is excellent, less than a 10-minute walk from the subway station, right behind the Shinsaibashi Ferris Wheel, so it's super easy to find. We were two adults and one child, and booked a triple room. The room was genuinely tiny, so small it was hard to even open our luggage, but it had everything we needed. They provide three bottles of water daily...

Quite clean and spacious. Near many pubs and clubs so might be a little rowdy/nois and crowded at night.

Very strategic location Nearby to attractions Nearby to dotonbori Nearby to all convenient stores

Best location! Just beside the dotonbori. Room abit dark, but overall experience is acceptable.

We love our stay in Holiday Inn Osaka. Definately will stay here again for our next trip🤩 Walking distance 6minute to Dontobori. Clean room, a bit spacious compared to others hotel. Recommended.

The room was clean, tidy, and spacious, making for a very comfortable stay. The surrounding area has a complete range of commercial facilities, making dining, accommodation, and transportation very convenient. I recommend visiting the nearby Shinsaibashi for photos and delicious food.
