APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

What guests think

At APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower, travellers praise the convenient Namba/OCAT location and extensive amenities—especially the large public bath and in‑house 7‑Eleven—while noting compact rooms, frequent elevator queues, and breakfast that’s good but sometimes pricey.

Most guests find staff friendly and the self‑service check‑in/out efficient, though automation and crowding can limit personal interaction and cause lines for luggage services. Rooms are functional but small, with centrally controlled temperatures and, for some, soft mattresses or patchy Wi‑Fi. Expect a well-equipped, high‑rise base with great access and busy common areas.

Facilities

Large public bath with sauna is a highlight; on-site 7‑Eleven, laundry and rooftop views add convenience. The pool is seasonal and often paid, the gym requires a fee, and elevators can be very crowded at peak times.

This APA is the same as many others in Japan. Storage under the bed, nice onsen and full 7-11 on 4th floor open 24 hours. Only complaint is that the building is so big and so many guests that check out and luggage storage causes major waiting for elevators.

Big hotel with a good location in Namba. One of the stations is next door (connecting directly to Nara and Kyoto). Okay size business rooms. Really nice onsen and beautiful view from the roof at the pool (used in season). Several restaurants in the building including a 7-eleven.

This hotel was really nice. The ease of access made it wonderful. On the 4th floor there are vending machines, his & her onsen's (no tattoos allowed), a 7-11 convenience store, a laundry (pay per wash & dry, usually busy in the evenings), & a cool vacuum sealing machine to help make packing your suitcase easier (300 yen per pack). The rooftop view is unmatched. Theres a pool and hot tub up there with a 40th floor view of Osaka which is incredible in the day, at sunset, & at night, & there is no charge, access is included with the room. There are a few restaurants, not really any vegan/vegetarian options but the 7-11 does have some. The hotel is clean, the rooms are lovely with space under the bed for your suitcases. Windows only open a crack for ventilation but the view from the roof makes up for that. Cleaning is by request only but they leave you fresh towels, robes, and amenities in a bag at your door every day and you just put your old ones in the bag and hang it outside your room for pickup. There are signs in english all over the room that have valuable information relevant to your stay. The tv home screen has an informative video that also has many informative tips relevant to your stay. I recommend you read the signs, watch the video, & familiarize yourself with everything when you arrive. Some signs are in Japanese, use the google translator app, its a huge help. The staff was helpful & friendly and check-in and out is super fast and easy! Lovely hotel!

The positives were the location, right near a metro and a short walk to Dotonbori where there are loads of bars, shops and restaurants. It was quiet at night. There are lots of free toiletries available including razors, hair ties, toothbrushes (all wrapped in copious plastic though). The downsides are the room is tiny with nowhere to store luggage or clothing. A main selling point for us was the rooftop pool but that is only open in summer, so we couldn't use it, and you can only use the spa/ public bath if you're prepared to go naked (we weren't). The pillows are hard and crunchy, I got a bad neck. My main concern was safety, it is very difficult to get out of the building, the lifts are very busy so it can take 20 minutes to get down to the lobby, and there are no stairs. If you are claustrophobic this is the worst place to stay. It was very overpriced, for what it was. The most expensive place we stayed in Japan and also our least favourite.

Room Cleanliness: Not impressed. When I first entered the room, I found a used toothpick on the carpet near the door, which gave a poor first impression. During my four-day stay, I also noticed that one of the two beds was wobbly and creaked whenever my partner moved. Both mattresses were too soft in the center, and the pillows were very thin even though there were two per bed. Comfort & Facilities: The room temperature is centrally controlled, and renting a heater or cooler costs extra. There is no air filter in the room. In the lobby, there is nowhere to sit and wait, which was inconvenient. Location & Amenities: Great location—very close to JR Osaka and Namba Subway stations. The hotel offers free luggage storage, and there are hot baths available. Check-in and check-out were simple and efficient. Summary: Convenient location and some helpful amenities, but cleanliness and comfort need improvement.

室内は綺麗に整えられていましたが、エレベーターを降りてからの通路など埃や細かいゴミが沢山あり、手入れが行き届いていない感じでした。とても広く敷地なので仕方ないのかもしれませんが、とても残念な気持ちでした。また、大浴場のお風呂の中も髪の毛が浮いている状態、温度も低く満足できるものではありませんでした。他のアパホテルを何度か利用していて、その際はとても満足できていたので今回もアパホテルを選択しましたが、室内からの夜景はきれいでしたが、その他ではあまり満足できるものではありませんでした。期待していただけに、残念でした。

Bathroom still had hair in it. Wanting to check- in earlier they request additional charges. Late check out also required penalty payment and their checkout time is 10am! Worse than business hotel! Never in my stays in Japan did I have a staff member roll their eyes on me like the staff of APA did when I asked for late check out and did not want to pay their penalty fee. I do not understand which part of their hotel is luxury or a resort. Please remove both from the name of this hotel, it is absolutely disgusting and shameless for it to have those words in it's name! No matter how discounted would I ever book an APA hotel ever again!

The location of this hotel is just a few minutes’ walk from Namba Station, which is very convenient. This APA hotel is larger than others we have stayed at before. Check-in and check-out are fully self-serve, but the process is very convenient, with staff available to assist when needed. The room was decent and clean, consistent with APA’s usual quality. Luggage storage now uses a QR code system, which is an improvement — easy to use and secure. The only drawback was the elevators; with so many guests, waiting times could be longer, especially at night.

I paid for the 40f breakfast which is more than the 2f breakfast so I expected good choices and fresh. NO! You can plainly see the breakfast was leftovers from the following days to the point the brown curry sauce was so thick it was slow coming off the paddle! NASTY! I asked to change to the 2f they gave me such hassle they only allowed me to change on my last day and lo and behold it was great options and fresh food! So why did I pay extra for recycled food to see the view of buildings?! The room did not get cleaned to my liking it was someone else’s long hair on the floors. No change machines for foreigners to be able to do laundry smh it’s 2025 why can’t you have a way to use a credit card or bills that turn into coins?? The bed was not comfy at all and don’t get me started on those flat flaaaat pillows! I didn’t get to use the bath because I doubt there was minerals in the water due to people in the elevator smelling bad AFTER being in their….noooo thanks. However I would say the convenience of the hotel is excellent it’s close to soo many places so I might give this place another try in the future.
