Apa Hotel Nambashinsaibashi-Nishi

Unclaimed

This hotel is a short walk to everything I wanted to see and experience in Namba. This hotel sits right next to the river where one can leisurely follow the walking path in either direction and be where all the activities are. Namba station is a 10min walk. Quaint side streets are also nice to explore. Enjoy food, nightlife, accommodations, sightseeing, etc. here and yet it's quiet enough for a good night's rest. Hotel staff members are courteous and friendly. I will consider this hotel in my future visit to Namba.

Rooms: Rooms in Japan are expected to be small. We were 2- 190lbs males and we made it work. The bed frame is made to where you can fit your luggage’s underneath for storage. Large TV, hot water kettle, refrigerator, long mirror and multiple charger outlets (type A). Bathroom: bathroom is small. Shower head is powerful and great. Water from the faucet states that it’s drinkable. Body wash, shampoo, conditioner and hand/face wash duo. No body lotion or cream though. Disposable shaver, shower cap, cotton tips, hairbrush combs, cups, tooth brush and tooth paste were some of the extra amenities. We were given new towels and robes everyday and you can place your used towels in a bag and leave it outside before 11am. Microwave and washer and dryer are one the 2nd floor. 500yen for the washer and 100 yen for the dryer. Location: Great location, away from the busy areas but still walking distance from Dontonburi, restaurant, and shopping, bars, nightclubs, arcade. Orange street has a lot of vintage thrift shops. Breakfast was ok. Just do the first day of breakfast to check out the options and decide if you want to pay for breakfast the remainder of the stay. There is 2 elevators, we didn’t have to wait long to get up to the room even when it’s a little congested in the lobby. Check out is at 10am. Late check out is 2000 yen per hour. Your room can be cleaned daily if requested but it’s standard rule for the cleaners to come is every 3 days for hygienic purposes. Overall, highly satisfied with our stay. We will book again given the chance to come to Osaka area. Overall. Would be staying again!

Stayed here for 7 nights. Be aware that the rooms are small, especially for 2 people. This is clearly noted in the hotel listing. For a stay longer than a night or two, I would have preferred something that offers a little more space. Also, it would be helpful if there were more hooks on the walls to hang things. However, the location is excellent as it's a short walk to Namba Station and Dotonbori. Our room was fairly quiet and clean. The breakfast buffet was always stocked and the staff was fantastic.
