Cross Hotel Osaka（ORIX HOTELS & RESORTS）

Cross Hotel Osaka（ORIX HOTELS & RESORTS）

10/10 Excellent
"Cross Hotel Osaka exceeded my expectations, and I would gladly stay here again on my next visit to Osaka. Its central location is incredibly convenient, with excellent restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and popular attractions within easy walking distance in every direction. The hotel is exceptionally clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced. The staff members were consistently professional, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. I highly recommend Cross Hotel Osaka to anyone looking for quality accommodations in the heart of the city."

Kobe Portopia Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed on 17th floor facing airport, amazing views, great amenities, a massive hotel with normal big hotel amenities (laundry service only). Comfortable beds and pillows. One downside was walls between rooms super thin, lady in room next door coughed all night long 😞, limited sleep had."

Kansai Airport Washington Hotel

Kansai Airport Washington Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I had an overnight layover and this hotel was very close to the airport. They also had a shuttle service available, but I used the train. Nice place to shower and sleep without worrying about missing your flight! There are also some nearby stores to visit and a Lawson's. The Rinku Park is nice to walk around and the station is very close so you can also head to Namba to go sight seeing."
