Top hotels in Kitahama
The Royal Park Canvas - Osaka Kitahama
Great location, right next to Kitigawa station. Family mart next door and tons of restaurants in close proximity. Room was comfortable and the hotel had a fancy vibe. Restaurant in the hotel was not great, but good if you're in a pinch

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower
Newer business hotel. Room sizes are exactly what to expect from a business hotel. Room is clean and hotel is quiet. Only negative is the onsite steak house. We ordered a tomahawk, among other things, and it was absolutely awful.
