Highly Recommend
The hotel was wonderful. It was close to rail, restaurants and shopping without being in the middle of everything. It has restaurants on site. The rooms are efficient and having the ability to cast to the tv to watch in my language was great.

Fabulous stay at this hotel. LOVED IT!!
We stayed here twice during our 9 day long visit to Japan and absolutely loved this hotel. I left a longer review for the longer part of our stay. I would 100% come back and can't imagine staying any place else if visiting Osaka. It was our home away from home and when weren't there we missed it and were glad to come back. Everything about it was all we needed it to be and way better than expected.

LOVED our home away from home!
We spent a total of 7 of our 9 nights in Japan at APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower. I can't express how much we loved this hotel. At the end of every long day we were so excited to come "home". Everything about this hotel was amazing. We had connecting rooms that slept 4. Having to full baths was wonderful. The deep furo style tubs were dreamy. The beds and comforts comfortable. The room temperature control very responsive and effective. It was cold when we stayed and it warmed quickly and stayed warm. The room amenities were above and beyond. Having a 24 hour 7-11 right there in the hotel was fantastic and we all agreed it was the best one with the friendliest staff of any Konbini we visited. The bath house which was included was wonderful and I only whish I had taken advantage of it more. The laundry room was great and watching our progress of our clothes on our tv was fun. The staff were all friendly and very professional. The only slight negative was the wait for the elevator in the morning around check out time but that's expected. We can't wait to go back to Japan and no matter our itinary I can't imagine not making plans to go back to our home away from home on Osaka Namba.

Very small rooms and too pricey
Rooms are very small it is quite claustrophobic. For the price paid it was not worth it. The only saving grace was the excellent spa and sauna. The 7/11 is very handy as well. Staff were very helpful and friendly but will need more English speaking training.

It’s a good stay with hot springs. It’s a bit far from the main shopping areas but very convenient for transit.

Possible New Fav in Osaka
First time staying at this location and while I prefer to be closer to the Dotonbori/Shinsaibashi area this is within walking distance. New hotel with lots of amenities. Worth coming back and staying longer.

You can’t check in until 3pm!!!
It’s a nice hotel. I think they need to put water in the room because it’s freezing the second you step outside the door and walk down the hallways with a jug, makes me feel like I’m camping. Got charged an extra hour for not checking out at 10am yet nobody told me I had to. You can’t check in until 3pm and that’s my biggest gripe. Half the days gone?

Very Cramped rooms
Brand new hotel so rooms were clean.
Rooms are extremely compact, No space to walk in the room, Very cramped. Luggage needs to be stored under the bed. Very small bathroom, smaller than a cruise room.

We had a great stay, near JR and metro stations and plenty of restaurants to eat at. Breakfast buffet had lots of options and was delicious. My only complaint is if your not used to japanese style mattresses and pillows the beds were very uncomfortable.

4/10 Fair

Innovative Concept that doesn't work
Highlights: The hotel was new/clean and very close(walking distance) to the bus terminal to the airport. Convenient 7/11 on the 4th floor in the building. Lowlights: The rooms were extremely tight (incl. washroom) but perhaps par for the course, the lobby extremely tight and check-in process chaotic. Checkout was at 10am (30+ floors of 50+ rooms per floor) could not get an elevator during this time. Lobby resembled Grand Central Station during rush hour with tonnes of people lining up to drop luggages off for storage. Lobby too small for the capacity of the hotel. Could never get the temperature quite right despite having access to the thermostat. Room service would hang a bag of fresh towels and amenities on your door if you chose not to have your room cleaned (which was designed to make for an efficient process but lots of waste because it provided you with stuff that was not required (opposite effect of eco-friendly). The hallways were exposed to the outdoor air which makes sense as they save on heating and cooling common space but it felt like staying at a motel, not good, not bad but weird. Verdict: Would not stay there again.
