APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"This Apa Hotel was the best i ever stayed at. There is a 711, a rooftop pool, rooftop restaurant, laundry and Onsens for women and men available. The only problem is the dryer takes forever for the clothes to dry."

Remm Plus Kobe Sannomiya

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at Remm Plus Kobe Sannomiya for 4 nights and 5 days and had a wonderful experience! The check-in and check-out process was quick and easy, and the staff were very helpful throughout my stay. One of my favorite parts was the breakfast buffet—the dining area has a superb view, and the food quality was excellent. I especially enjoyed having Kobe beef every morning! Tip: Get to breakfast early if you want a seat with a beautiful mountain or city view. The room was comfortable, clean, and good quality. I also really appreciated how quiet it was—I didn’t hear much outside noise, so I was able to rest and sleep very well after long days exploring Kobe. If you love shopping and want an easy commute, you’re at the right place! There’s an American Pharmacy store downstairs, a FamilyMart nearby, and very convenient access to the Port Liner. The location makes it super easy to shop, grab what you need, and get around Kobe. Overall, I had a great time here and really enjoyed my stay. I would definitely recommend Remm Plus Kobe Sannomiya, especially if you’re looking for comfort, convenience, great food, and easy transportation!"
