Top hotels in Chuo
Namba Oriental Hotel
"The laundry room was extremely useful and the vacuum packing machine was a plus. The room was a bit tight but it’s probably because we had 3 beds. Location of the hotel was convenient for food and shopping. The only negative about the location was the noise and sensory overload once you step outside. ..."
