Top hotels in Shinmachi
APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower
Very convenient location in Namba! Easy access to trains and Dotonbori. Not a whole lot of interaction with staff - kiosk check in. Room was small but very clean and the bed was comfortable. Note that the most basic standard room faces inward to the hotel, there is no sunlight. Not an issue for me ...
