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.

Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka
Very nice hotel, clean and has everything you need. Staff were very welcoming and helpful, and the room was quiet. The only complaint I have would be the shower water - it was not very warm and would sometimes switch from very hot to very cold if someone else was using water.

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!
