APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower
Price, location, safety, cleanliness and heat/air are all superb. The room is of course small. It’s hard for a second person to climb onto the bed. There’s no safe. Room service is done every 3 days but towels and supplies (coffee and tea) are supplied every day. Overall, it’s a great value.
