Top hotels in Nishi Ward
APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower
Everything was pretty self served. One downside every night usually there is a bit of a line up at the lobby to take the elevator back to the room. Also if you needed any type of luggage service in the morning better go early or else there is also a big lineup to get helped.

Candeo Hotels Osaka The Tower
The hotel is modern and well maintained. The restaurant was very good. The gym was adequate and had the best view on the 31st floor. We liked the hotel. But even with the corner room, our room felt cramped. The room layout was more aesthetic, less functional.
