Top Shimamoto Hotel Reviews

Toyoko Inn Osaka Namba

8/10 Good

"First time staying at a Toyoko Inn. I’d definitely stay again - lots to love. Included breakfast is great. Also excellent facilities including laundry and luggage storage. Room was quite large too. The only thing I didn’t like was how hard the bed was. Pretty much the only thing keeping it from being 5 stars for me."

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Umeda Eki Tower

10/10 Excellent

"good room for the price. friendly staff. elevators take forever due to the amount of people so keep that in mind"

Onyado Nono Kyotoshichijo Natural Hot Springs

8/10 Good

"There are lots of amenities here -like the public bath and the big fancy breakfast- but assume you will need to compete for every resource, from a breakfast table to a shoe locker. The lobby felt like a combination of a college dorm and an airport gate. Things are generally good in your room, and all supplies were in order. Walls are thin enough I was woken up by my neighbor’s alarm every morning. Breakfast waits at 6:45 AM were about 45 minutes. I spilled some hand wash soap on the area in front of the sink and learned that the floor was not nearly as clean as it appeared."

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great hotel not over the top luxury as I've stayed in the past but definitely very nice clean and more suited for the casual travel person. I didn't feel uncomfortable coming back from a big hike sweating and dirty. Amazing amenities definitely coming back again."

Hotel Monterey Grasmere Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Staff exceeded expectations, particularly going above and beyond to track down missing luggage forwarded from Ueno. Cannot thank them enough."

The Royal Park Hotel Iconic Osaka Midosuji

10/10 Excellent

"After a rough stay at Meander in Osaka, this was a breath of fresh air. I can’t speak to the other rooms here but my wife and I stayed in the deluxe corner king on the 24th floor. It’s probably the best view I’ve ever had in a hotel. The room is extremely spacious which allowed us to do some much needed organizing. The bathroom and shower here were also top notch. The shower was probably as big as our last hotel room 😂"

Hotel Monterey Le Frere Osaka

10/10 Excellent

"Property is clean and staff is amazing. I was really impressed with the size of the room considering most hotels in Japan are relatively small. Most amenities were very nice. The only issue was the number of available washer/dryer for the guests. Nonetheless, I got laundry done without any major concerns. Really enjoyed the visit. I will highly recommend and definitely stay again."

APA Hotel Namba Ekihigashi

10/10 Excellent

"The location is very convenient, and the room is nice and clean. Front desk is very nice and helpful too."

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was great. Location is amazing. Walking distance to Osaka station. 1 stop to shin osaka, did all my day trips with no hassle.. Shopping center just below and much more.. everything you need.. Just give yourself a couple hours or days to learn the layout of everything around you.. its worth it."
