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).
