Swissotel Nankai Osaka

This hotel is right above Namba Station, a transportation hub, making it super convenient for day trips to places like Nara. Takashimaya department store is just downstairs, and Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori are only a ten-minute walk away. You'll find drugstores everywhere, which is a big plus!

The location is fantastic, right in Namba! It's super close to the Glico Man sign and right next to Takashiyama. You can walk everywhere if you love shopping. However, the pillows smelled a bit musty, probably due to the pillowcases. The staff were all wonderful and kind.

Direct access from the airport via Nankai Electric Railway, and the hotel has an elevator directly connecting to the railway entrance/exit level, so no worries even with large luggage. The room was clean and hygienic, with a faint, pleasant scent. The front desk staff were friendly, and the housekeeping was also very thorough. Overall, a very good experience.

I booked a double room, and for a Japanese hotel, it was quite spacious. The biggest advantage of this hotel is its incredibly excellent location. It's situated right above Nankai Namba Station, so you can get there within 40 minutes from Kansai Airport by train. There are also multiple subway lines nearby, making it easy to reach popular tourist areas like Umeda and Tennoji within 20 minutes. Plus, from the hotel, you're just a 10-minute walk from Osaka's popular Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi areas. The Takashimaya department store and Namba Parks, located right below the hotel, are also well worth exploring. The room was clean, and daily housekeeping was prompt and thorough. If you're looking for a hassle-free and convenient hotel in southern Osaka, this is definitely your best bet.

It's pretty good. The location is incredibly convenient. You can walk to Denden Town and Dotonbori. Daimaru Department Store is directly accessible downstairs. This is, without a doubt, the most convenient hotel for shopping in Osaka. The only downside is that it's too crowded, and there's a long wait for breakfast during peak hours.

The location is fantastic! The hotel is right above a subway station, and the Nankai Line to the airport is conveniently located on the 3rd floor. It's also next to department stores like Takashimaya, and there are plenty of dining options nearby. The room comes with a capsule coffee machine and complimentary bottled water. Breakfast was decent, but it was pretty much the same every day during my 4-night stay. A couple of downsides: I was given one of the lowest floors, and the view from the window was quite poor, very close to some equipment platform. Also, the housekeeping staff wasn't very attentive; they put my makeup remover and comb *inside* the toothbrush cup?

The transportation is very convenient, especially if you're planning to visit areas around Osaka.

The room was great, although the front desk was a bit hard to find. The service was excellent, the location was superb, and the night view was beautiful.
