The hotel is nice and clean and modern. Read the fine print about the pool fees! I booked this because there was a pool but I didn’t know there was a 2000 - 3000 yen charge to use it. That cost is way too much to use a small pool.

Loved everything about except check out is 10:00 am so almost every guest is trying to leave at once. Waited 15 minutes in the un-airconditioned hallway for an elevator that had room to barely squeeze in. And even though lights indicated it was going down it went from the 8th floor to the top 21st floor before it started down then stopped multiple times. So about a 20 minute journey from the 8th floor room to the lobby.

APA if you’re reading this change your ridiculously early check out time.

Also lost an item just outside the hotel and no one in the hotel spoke English well enough on the phone to help me try to locate it.

The room was meticulously clean. The television screen was a large HD TV that you can use your device to mirror to. BBC is the only English Channel.
Rooms are small, but extremely affordable. Beds are very comfortable and pillows are awesome. Fridge in the room. Kettle as well.
We stayed in Osaka and used the hotel as a spoke. Subway and train station are within 100 feet.
It is a very well maintained and professionally operated hotel.
But the rooms are small!
Totally worth the price.

Meticulously cleaned small rooms. Good value. Great location. Rooms are not cleaned until 4th day. So like mom told you, “make your own bed”! New towels are hung outside your room daily. Larger rooms are available at a premium. Great hotel to use if you are a tourist and not spending much time at the hotel most APA hotels are located near rapid transit. I would recommend this chain.

A very nice and modern looking decor. Check in was a bit complicated. The room was tiny but that is common in many hotels in Japan. Handy to have a convenience store in the hotel and a nice cafe on the main floor.

On the 4th floor in the seated area we saw two big cockroaches. I know in the summer and humidity this may happen but was surprised for a hotel of this caliber to see them.

There was also a guy in his underwear sleeping on the floor one morning on the 14th floor. Not sure if his partner through him out of the room but was bizarre to see.

Location was great. Right at Namba station which connects to every major tourist site, and Dotonbori a 10 min walk away.

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.

The APA Namba was in an excellent location. So many things within walking distance and easy to hop on trains via Namba station access close by. The rooms were very small but very clean. Appreciated all the information about facilities and surrounding area that was available in your room via TV and apps.
Our biggest complaint was that the coffee provided in the room was terrible and there is a lack of transparency about their pool facility. They have a rooftop pool but it's only open for July and August (we booked 5 nights there and the pool was only open the last one); whereas when booking on the website it states the pool is open August to August; which sort of implies year round. Additionally, you have to pay to use the pool and they charge an hourly rate that equals about 12 USD. A disappointment for our kids. I think that information needs to be very clear up front when booking.

The soaking pool amenities, on the other hand, were very nice and included in the cost of the stay.
I would probably still recommend it as a convenient and comfortable place to stay, just know before you go.

They use cots instead beds. The mattress is horrible, not thick enough and soft so my back sunk while sleeping. Woke up with back pain. If you’re more than 100lbs and have back problems avoid this hotel. I brought this up to the hotel lobby and all she said was “I’m sorry”.

two groups of family stayed here for 5 nights. everyone love it here. very convenience. 7-11 inside the building, shopping and restaurants are in walking distance. bus station to airport is across the street from the hotel. a lot more simpler to ride a bus to the airport than riding the train. love the sauna and spa. Will Def. stay here again.

You check in yourself, you really don’t deal with staff unless you need something..the rooms were clean and had the amenities needed, except iron which you need to check out at front desk. They provide razors, soaps, toothbrush, etc…the beds and pillows were comfy…location close to station and close enough to Dotonbori..had a 7-11 in hotel 👍..had a double room so it seemed good size..single rooms would feel small…

Great location right next JR Namba station. Easy access to direct shuttle bus to/from KIX just steps away from hotel makes it super convenient. Having an onsite private bath gives an amazing experience. Rooftop view is excellent. Breakfast buffet is good but pricey. I would recommend you try once. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again next time.

The staff were wonderful - helpful and respectful. Check in and out was quick and easy. The room was clean and well maintained. The room was very small for two people but we made it work. The public bath was great once we were confident in the proper procedures to use it. We relaxed after a long day of walking. The massage was great too. I liked having the 7/Eleven on site. The restaurants in the hotel and surrounding areas (Osaru Coffee) were great and reasonably priced. Overall, pleased with the hotel, staff, and our stay there. Felt safe and close to shopping and food options. The pool was advertised when we booked but wasn’t/didn’t open while we were there. We could still go up to the 44 floor (where the pool and restaurant was) to check out the view. Impressive.

Excellent location. Steps away from Namba station , restaurants and shops.Self Check in and Check out. Incredible breakfast/lunch 6am-2pm Western and Japanese. It’s small. No room for luggages. Luggage’s are expected to push under the bed at all time otherwise there’s no room to walk. Bathroom is small. Barely room for daily essentials. Beautiful rooftop pool and public bath house. In house 7/11 and laundry room are pluses.

The hotel location was great. A great base to walk from Dotonbori and the train station to get you all around Osaka. The rooms were extremely small! Probably the smallest I've ever stayed in, but they are efficient. The menu at the restaurant is somewhat limited, but the food we ordered was good and the service was great. Having a 7-11 in the hotel was very convenient. Overall it was a good stay,

It was our first time in osaka. We really love the hotel. Near the train station, near dotonbori. The hotel staff are very helpful and respectful. We are so amazed how APA hotel thought of all the things needed for all the hotel guest. They have a 7-11 inside the building so the guest can buy food anytime when they are hungry or thristy. The even have cold and hot water dispenser. the laundry room is so clean, they even have a machine to suction all your things so your luggage will not be bulky. I would really recommend this hotel to everyone and would stay here again.

Rooms are small so only would recommend to those travelling as a couple or solo. Elevators take awhile and it gets really busy. Just wish crowd control is more maintained as a lot of people just standing around with big suitcases in middle of the floor. Overall the 7-11 was really convenient and cleaning crew does an excellent job!

Everything is great such as located beside ICAT for easy transfer from kix to hotel. The public bath is also great. The only downside nothing to do with hotel, is users of washer and dryer do not collect their items on time and so others couldn't use it.

No where did it state that if you wanted to use the public bath no tattoos were allowed until we checked in.

Pool on roof is closed until mid July, and I saw if you wanted to use it - priced around 1000Y per hour.

Bed was horrible.

First hotel I've been to that didn't have umbrellas guests could use.

Recommend not staying here, unless you dont care about the above-mentioned the location is what takes the cake. Great.

Hotel Apa was really clean and had good amenities but the situation with the elevators is a bit of a challenge we stayed Saturday and Sunday night and on Saturday night the line to go up to your room was about 60 people. There are 12 elevators half that go up to the first 21 floors and the other half the top but there was a lot of congestion. Same for leaving in the morning it took on average about 10 minutes to get an elevator. It’s a massive tower so it makes sense but a challenge none the less.

Positives: great location, great views from high floors, staff very helpful when there are issues.

The most concerning aspect of our stay was when we woke up after the first night and saw that the smoke alarm was covered in plastic - that's probably illegal as it won't be able to detect any smoke!

Abysmal internet, the connection kept dropping off. On the last day it was almost non-existent, had to ring reception who had to restart it.

Need cleared instructions in public spa area. Lots of foreigners didn't rinse themselves before entering various public bath, pretty disgusting.

Excellent location and a great stay overall. The hotel has a shared bath (sento) for guests, which was a wonderful bonus. There is also a convenience store inside the hotel, making it very convenient.

We had both breakfast and dinner at the hotel. The food was decent, although not particularly outstanding. However, the excellent location and facilities more than made up for it.

I would happily stay here again.

We booked a last‑minute stay at this hotel after a typhoon disrupted our original plans, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. We reserved two triple rooms; the beds are twin‑size by American standards, so each room comfortably fits three people.

After checking in, we stopped by the bar for drinks and food, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable. The hotel’s amenities and overall design were outstanding—modern, convenient, and thoughtfully laid out. It’s also in a great location: close to Namba Station and the JR line, and about a 12‑minute walk to the Dotonbori area.

Our rooms had incredible views, and even though we could hear the storm winds outside, the comfort of the hotel made it easy to relax. There’s a 7‑Eleven inside the building, which was extremely convenient.

The hot tub and pool are located on the top floor, though there is an additional fee to use them. The onsen is free, but note that it follows traditional Japanese customs—no swimsuits allowed—so be prepared if you’re not familiar with onsen etiquette.

Checkout is at 10 a.m., and the hotel offers free luggage storage. A tip: the line for luggage storage starts forming around 9 a.m., and many guests wait until right at 10 to drop their bags, so plan accordingly.

Overall, this hotel is an excellent choice for business travelers, solo visitors, couples, and families. Highly recommended.

- [ ] From the irritating self check-in that had a person over our shoulder and did require finally a person check in because my passport wouldn’t read on their automatic scanner, this was a penny pinching place that I would avoid.
- [ ] The location of this place was great since one could walk to Doton bori areas but that was it; huge buildings everywhere makes it feel like you’re living in a canyon. It was very close to the Osaka Namba station (could walk using underground tunnels) which was also a good thing.
- [ ] This was the only hotel amongst all our stays which did not provide heated toilet seats. Can you believe that? Even the trains have them. Saving money wherever they could.
- [ ] The rooms were cruise ship small and you could barely get inside with your bags. Bags had to go under the bed using your Tetris skills. Bathrooms were also like a cruise ship; you could touch all the walls while standing. Ridiculous for a rich hotel chain. You could feel the greed behind this one.
- [ ] I booked on Expedia which later revealed that each day was a different charge; may have been some algorithmic basis behind it.
- [ ] Breakfast (thankfully included) was good but the same affair everyday.
- [ ] The wait at the elevators was ridiculous. 40 floors of people fighting to get up and down every day. The last day during checkout at 10am; it took us 25 minutes to get an elevator and we had to ride one up just to get back down!
- [ ] Would not stay here again b

Excellent location. Great staffing. Rooms/bath are small but efficient - store bags under beds. I prefer more standard western-sized hotel rooms but there was limited availability during my time there. This was a great value for the price if you are ok with limited room space.

Check-in was automated and connected you by speakerphone to an associate if you needed help. It was actually really efficient and fast this way. There were adequate staff throughout the day and night - went several times.

Consider a late checkout or drop off your luggage early if you plan on leaving your luggage at the concierge - it's a long line in the morning. You can late check out up to 3 hours.

Beds were comfortable. There was glasses/pitcher and filtered water dispenser in the hallway. Great info on the TV - free movies (even a few in english), town info, discount codes for shopping at some of the nearby stores, hotel info, and even reservation changes right through the TV. Bathroom is small, but fully functional - bidet, tub (smaller sized), good water pressure and hot water, and grooming supplies/robes/slippers provided. Daily towel exchange. They cleaned the room often.

Laundry room seemed busy. There is a gym you can pay to access hourly. I didnt go in but it looked pretty basic. There are gyms nearby that offer passes for better rates. There is a 7-Eleven outside and in the hotel, so super convenient. There is an onsen and pool deck but didn't make it to either one.

Would stay again.

The hotel is very conveniently equipped: there is a convenience store inside, lots of laundry machines, vending machines, and cold water dispensers in each floor. As with other APA hotels, the room was pretty tiny, but this is expected. Location is close to Bus Terminal and JR station, but not as close to Dotonbori and Namba station as other hotels.

I liked the room and the hotel amenities especially having a 7-11 in the hotel. Room was small but typical for Japan. The check in was not good. One person taking in all the luggage while four staff members just stand at the front desk not helping at all. Then when you check in you have to do it on a machine the front desk people don’t even help with that. Total cluster…. The hotel plays super annoying music in the lobby which you can hear through the door of your room 24 hours a day when sleeping.
Good location.
