Every transaction with hotel staff was frictionless. The room is small, but has every amenity. The price is excellent, for the APA location in Osaka is likely one of the best possible for a visitor. The area of the city is rich, riverfront with some foreign embassies, some offices and some residential . Many parks too! It is clean and lively , yet without being crowded. There are many traditional and Italian restaurants around! Museums, convention centre, all walking distance, and if you want to explore Osaka, Metro station right at the hotel entrance too. The hotel provides a laundry machine room, sauna, and has a breakfast restaurant (which is a thing surprisingly hard to find in Osaka; most food places are lunch and dinner only!) I recommend.

Very convenient area close to the subway. Staff were super customer service and went over and above what i would expect. I left my laptop in a cab and staff helped me phone the police department to confirm that the in fact had it before I made my way down to pick it up. All this was in japanese as english is my first language.

My worst experience in a APA hotel unfortunately. My room was the tiniest as possible and it got hot. They control the AC so in winter time they won’t allow you to use the cool mode. I had to leave the window open. The is ok but very small. It’s well located by the metro station just downstairs but with no elevator or escalator so let me tell you with your suitcases you will feel it. I couldn’t experience thr restaurant at the top because it was closes or fully reserved. The one downstairs is good and healthy. All restaurants are very strict on time. Outside of the window opening you won’t have your breakfast. The staff was not helpful with my ac situation and when i lost my receipt to log inin their system…
