BRACKETS HOTEL Osaka Hommachi
Courteous staff all very helpful. Didnt use the laundry service but if i stayed there longer i wouldve used it. Rooms were spotless and clean. Towel deliver daily. Even though i didnt use them. It was a great stay and the location wasnt too bad either.

THE RISE OSAKA UNIVERSAL BAYSIDE
Thank you for a peaceful stay. Everything was great except for the beds as they were very firm and can be uncomfortable. Did not have breakfast so I cannot comment on it. All in all I would give this place 7/10.

STAYAT OSAKA SHINSAIBASHI east
We loved this property. The room we booked was big enough for all our luggage and a lot bigger than other rooms in the area! It’s next to a 7/11 as well and this made it perfect for late night Konbini runs! :)
