APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower
"Excellent location. Great staffing. Rooms/bath are small but efficient - store bags under beds. I prefer more standard western-sized hotel rooms but there was limited availability during my time there. This was a great value for the price if you are ok with limited room space. Check-in was automated ..."

"It is centrally located but a pain to get to (walking all the way around a building). Rooms are a little small for luggage so be strategic about what you're packing. Very flexible in terms of luggage storage"
