BRACKETS HOTEL Osaka Hommachi
The room was spacious, the staff were amazing and provided excellent service and all that for a very reasonable price. The accommodation was only a 20 minute walk from Osaka Station. I highly recommend and will stay here again on my next trip to Osaka.

I stayed three nights, and my experience was wonderful! I booked a room with a city view, and it was so pretty! The room was clean and roomier than some of the other hotels I booked while in Japan. I have no complaints :) Safe travels!
