Everyday new amenities were left at our door. The 7/11 on the 4th floor was very convenient, but the elevators are very busy with guests headed to get food, laundry and to use the public bath all in the same area. This hotel has an amazing skyline view of the city, but it is only open until 10pm.

Rooms are quite cramped, but meticulously maintained. Staff is wonderful. Expect to pay for add-ons such as using the pool or gym. Very quiet and comfortable. Location is great. As we were in Osaka to use as a “spoke and hub” location to see Nara and Kyoto and other towns, we were only really in the hotel to sleep and shower. It was all we needed. Close to subway and railway stations. I’d totally recommend APA Namba.

It was a great stay at this location. Very conveniently located at JR Namba Station. OCAT right next door was a plus getting to KIX. The hotel was gorgeous and had everything we needed. Rooms are small but enough for two. The only complaint is about the elevator waits during peak times. Bonus having 7-11 in the building! Would definitely recommend and would stay again.
