Great stay close to Osaka Station. Rooms were small (but normal for the area), amenities were great, easy to walk to the station or subway. Breakfast was awesome - lots of options. I would stay again.

Candeo Hotels Osaka The Tower
Great location, great rooms, nice Onsen, good staff - the only thing they get wrong is the cafe (coffee) isn't open at 7/8am - it only opens at 9am but closes at 8pm (when no one is having coffee & it's empty).

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA
Room was clean. Breakfast was good. The triple room was too small to fit three open luggage. The self service laundry room was very much in demanding. People were waiting lines in hours to get to use the machine.

Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka
Room space was good but recommendation is to separate bathroom. shower, and washing areas. Very inconvenient if 3 adults are in the room
