APA Hotel Namba Shinsaibashi Nishi

We booked a double connecting room.The bathroom smelled like urine. The laundry room would have been much better if there were more washers and dryers and not just two for the whole hotel.Very inconvenient for the vending machine to be in the same room as the laundry facility which made it very difficult to get out Laundry done. Area was very convenient to Dontonburi

The location was close to the Namba train station. Walkable to Shinsaibashi station. Room was clean but very very small. Double bed filled the room (bed on three walls). Had to climb on bed to open curtain. Not for someone with mobility issues as had to step up into bathroom and over the greater than knee height bathtub to shower. Lobby was tiny. Laundry available but only had two machines requiring payment to wash and dry. Luggage had to be stored under the bed.

Walkable location. Staff was wonderful and accomidating. There was a lot of people staying at the hotel. Slightly long wait time for elevators. Umbrellas ran out fast. Anemities crowded. Reading material ques

Great location in Dotonbori but still nice and quiet. Has all the standard offerings you can expect from an APA hotel. Staff were very friendly, and they have coin laundry which was useful. Rooms are relatively small, which isn't unusual for Japan and was still good value. Near the Namba metro station which was convenient for a day trip to Koya-san, though a few stops away if you want to take the Shinkasen anywhere. Overall had a good experience and would stay again.

All is good except they should have a waiting lounge on the lobby or have a few chairs for people waiting to check in. What if the person checking in are PWD or elderly? But all in all we enjoyed our stay and definitely will come back and stay in APA Hotel! They are very affordable!!

Well, you get what you paid for....the rooms in this area are small but for solo traveler it's perfect. Everything you need is offered in the room. great wifi, fresh towels everyday, good water pressure, clean hotel. there is no lounge area in reception or restaurant but within walking distance, many options to dining. Staff is helpful with limited English. I would liken it to Motel 6 minus the thin walls.

This is a great hotel for the value and I’d definitely stay here again. My room (standard) was clean and comfortable. The property itself is very nice, modern and clean. Of course the rooms are a bit small, but that is to be expected. You can store your luggage under the bed for a bit more space and there are hooks on the wall. As a solo traveller, it was totally fine. The bed was very comfortable and I loved retreating to my cozy little room at the end of each busy day. Rooms have AC, mini fridge, TV, shampoo/conditioner/hair dryer, plus other amenities. There are also laundry machines on the second floor of the hotel as well as a press/iron. The hotel is also very centrally located, just a five min walk from Namba Station and Dotonbori. You’re right beside ROR comedy club too which is cool and a block away from a Lawsons (or maybe it’s a Family Mart but either way, its handy!). The only thing I’d do differently next time is skip the breakfast package. Speaking only to the western breakfast offering, the selection was limited, the food was mediocre, and the coffee was bad. Of course, this is just personal preference, but personally next time I wouldn’t pay extra for the breakfast package and just do a nearby cafe instead. Overall, a very good hotel and I’d definitely stay here! In fact, based on this experience, I want to check out other APA hotels too. Hope this helps!

TV made an annoying continuous clicking sound while turned off and turns itself on every time you go into the room. Additionally the main bed light flickers very noticably, so it was essentially unusable. Using the Laundry facilities were very expensive for being a guest amenity, and the whole second floor containing the laundry facilities stank pretty badly of stale laundry. The staff was helpful and the area was close to everything. One last nitpick, I got the one room that has a view of just a wall.

Habitación con todo lo necesario, me quede 5 noches. Es pequeña para mas de una persona, proveen los toiletries y refill de toallas diaria, hay servicio de limpieza cada tercer dia únicamente, o por petición. El AC funcionaba, pero emitia un olor desagradable. Tiene laundry machines, precio durante mi visita 500JPY y la secadora 100JPY por 30 min. Areas públicas, bien, generalmente limpias. Personal bien, no muy amigable. La ubicación es buena, esta a 3 cuadras del centro de Dotonbori, a 5 min de una estación de metro y a 10 min de Namba, lo cual es muy conveniente. Hay un 7eleven justo al lado, un Lawson en frente y un cafe 24 hrs contraesquina.

All together I did enjoy the service, comfort of the room, cleanliness, breakfast and the staff. What was annoying for me was some group of motorbike drivers who were extremely noisy and drove back and forth with their extremely loud engines every night till around 1 am and it made it really difficult to sleep till then. Also the amount of elevators were not sufficient so sometimes there was a long cue to get to your room.

Too small room and bathroom that uncomfortable to move. Spend per night $220.US . Even not cleaned for 3days. Not recommended

Wonderful rooms and very helpful staff. Very clean and central location. Great spot to stsy while in Osaka.

Very clean

お風呂が汚かった。数日は掃除してないとつかないような黒いべたべたしたものがお風呂の金具についていた。ぱっと見た目は綺麗なので、手抜きで掃除してるのではないかと。この先アパを使うのが躊躇う。ホテルの人には伝えましたが、なにも返事なし。 場所はラブホや飲み屋が多く、外国人の方も多いエリア。中洲や歌舞伎町系のエリアなので、気になる方にはおすすめしません。

Great staff. Very nice and helpful. Clean rooms!

Cheap and clean in a good location with friendly staff.

位置方便，於熱鬧的道頓堀步行約需5至8分鐘左右。亦可步行15分鐘左右至南海難波站，搭空港急行回關西空港。酒店房間企理，但床鋪有頭髮，清潔有待改善。

Next to Dotonbori canal, close to Namba station/area, and 8 mins walk from OCAT terminal for direct limousine bus from airport (1300 yen, cash only). Lots of dining options and convenience stores nearby. Fast check-in. Comfortable bed. Breakfast options limited, but delicious and good quality, and some options are changed daily. Front desk receiption in this APA hotel are prompt and nice. Rooms small but that's normal in Japan. Super clean functional rooms with plenty charging points, big TV, and lighting options, as in many APA hotels. I found daily cleaning/changing service also quite prompt compared to other APA hotels I stayed. Value for money given the location, service, and comfort.

Quick check-in, clean room, friendly staff, and convenient location.

The laundry/microwave/vending machine (they’re on the same small room) area has a terrible smell. The floor that we stayed has piles of towels, toiletries during the day.

部屋が明るく、コンセント差込口もたくさんあり、特にベッド、まくらが快適でした。

Too small for the price

The location was close to the Namba train station. Walkable to Shinsaibashi station. Room was clean but very very small. Double bed filled the room (bed on three walls). Had to climb on bed to open curtain. Not for someone with mobility issues as had to step up into bathroom and over the greater than knee height bathtub to shower. Lobby was tiny. Laundry available but only had two machines requiring payment to wash and dry. Luggage had to be stored under the bed.

The room was small but cozy with a great location just a few minutes walk from Namba station. Very friendly and helpful staff

No option to control the AC as it is up to the hotel discretion. Only way to cool the room was to open window which was facing directly to surrounding buildings and it gets pretty loud outside. Definitely should have stated clearly in the hotel’s description that guests have no option to control AC in room. Convenient location near Dotonbori. Although location of the hotel is right in the middle of major tourist area surprisingly staff do not speak any English.

Very close to Dotonbori. You'll never go hungry as you're surrounded by convenience stores. The area is safe and walkable to shopping places and restaurants. We booked the double bed room for 2 people. If you're not used to Japanese hotels, this room might feel small to you. Packing was a bit tough due to the lack of floor space.

No soundproofing - neighbouring guest rooms and housekeeping services were loud during the night and early morning hours.

I spent 7 days at this hotel and really enjoyed it. I'd previously read about the rooms being small, so I knew what to expect (and that didn't bother me). Everything else worked perfectly: shower, wifi, AC. The minibars and microwaves are very convenient. Super clean and comfortable. I'd definitely stay again.

The rooms are tiny, crowded, not comfortable for families at all. Staff is very friendly and helpful but the rooms are awful. Location is good for Dotombori if you are into nightlife, otherwise far from everything

Hotel is very nice and cute! The room we had was a bit small but had luggage storage space under the bed

Wonderful rooms and very helpful staff. Very clean and central location. Great spot to stsy while in Osaka.

Great staff. Very nice and helpful. Clean rooms!

I don’t usually write bad reviews, but my experience at this APA Hotel warrants one. The staff here were completely unhelpful and apathetic. As a paying guest, I expected at least basic assistance, but every time I asked a question—whether it was for directions to a restaurant or help calling a taxi—I was met with the dismissive response, “No, we can’t help you.” This level of service is unacceptable, especially from a large and reputable chain like APA. I’ve stayed at other APA locations without any issues, so I can only assume this poor experience is due to the hotel’s location in the heart of Dotonbori, a chaotic party district. If you’re visiting this area, do yourself a favor and skip this particular APA Hotel. There are plenty of other hotels nearby that will hopefully provide better service, cleanliness, and hospitality—something this location severely lacks.

The room is too small for 2 people. Staff need to work on customer service. It is very hard to communicate with staff. We will still recommend this place, if you don’t mind the small room.

Cheap and clean in a good location with friendly staff.

That staff were amazing, comin

The services were terrible bad. The staff “s attitude is unbelievable. They even refused me to call a taxi or give me some advices to go to the Namba station. I have two large luggages and I have to carried them and walked on the road and thus I git hurt on the road. This is the first time that made me feel disappointed for the Japanese’s services for more ten times visit Japan

Great service, the rooms are kept clean, and it's very close to the Dotombori shopping district. 10/10.

The hotel location is good and our stay is overall good. But there is a long line on check-in and we have to wait in line for 30 min just to check-in.

Quick check-in, clean room, friendly staff, and convenient location.

Clean hotel. Excellent location for wandering the tourist areas. Located quite close to train stations as well.

Close to the centre, the main subway/train station and there are lots of shops nearby. Room was very clean and the employees are friendly.

Location is perfect.

Great location

Great location

APA Hotel Namba Shinsaibashi Nishi Is conveniently located near Dotombori , the Namba station B4 entrance/exit, various Konbini, and food establishments. Definitely staying here again when I’m in Osaka

Extremely small room, but that's expected at APA business hotels. Room was clean and bed was fairly comfortable. Great value for the price. In a bit of a rough area but never felt unsafe. Close enough to Dotonbori that you can be there in 5 mins walk, but far enough that you don't hear the noise at night. Walking distance to Namba Station which gives you lots of options.

This property is just outside the busy area of Dotonbori but is still very close and just near the walkway along the canal. Many convenience stores just outside however late a night there are many noises from people leaving Dotonbori

Great service at front desk. Buffet breakfast was vegetarian friendly!

The hotel location is ok. The breakfast is seriously lacking in value... Expedia charges $20 CAD, but on-site it is 1300 YEN. Basic options, no western food options, very poor compared to the APA Resort locations. The sheets had not been changed. There was black hairs on the white sheets. My hair is not black. I advise selecting a different APA Hotel.

Rooms are small but enough room for 2. Tubs are half the size of a regular tub. Water pressure is good. The area is convenient with lots of restaurants and convenient stores around, but not right at the busy spots so its a nice balace. They wont help you call a cab but you can do it yourself easily just by waiting outside. Their breakfast is clean with an attandant there to wipe down and refill everything. Food is 2/5. I rather walk a bit more and get breakfast elsewhere.

Basic small to Midsized hotel between Namba and Shinsaibashi stations (Shinsaibashi sta was easier to navigate with luggage via Daimaru Dept store escalators). The Room was small as expected, but beds and pillows were not as hard as some Japanese hotels. The breakfast buffet was average with a mix of Japanese and western style dishes. Breakfast area was small and seating uncomfortable (like they wanted you in and out quickly). Only 2 washers and dryers for all 200 rooms, but found a cheaper coin op right across the street which I ended up using. Most annoying thing with this hotel was there wasn’t any seating area in the lobby. When faced with tiny hotel room sizes, i find it nice to have a relaxing lobby area. Another thing that irked me was the only non-Japanese TV channel was BBC News which had the most annoying broadcasters who just repeated the same 3 news stories all day and night. Note The hotel other APA Shinsaibashi (non-Nishi) is on the same street (a half a block closer to the station) and was bigger…did not check it out, but thought it could offer more/better amenities like an actual lobby and a more comfortable breakfast area.

The only bad was the breakfast I don’t recommend

The hotel was spotless with tasteful decor, the staff were helpful and the buffet breakfast was excellent and very reasonably priced.

La ubicación del hotel esta cerca de todo! Namba subway 6 minutos y 2 cuadras para las calles principales , la habitación está pequeño pero muy limpio. El desayuno estilo buffet también está muy bueno con precio razonable 酒店位置近難波地鐵站、大約6-8 分鐘、走二條街左右就到達食市和購物點、非常方便，員工友善，有基本英語溝通技巧,自助早餐非常不錯👍

Next to Dotonbori canal, close to Namba station/area, and 8 mins walk from OCAT terminal for direct limousine bus from airport (1300 yen, cash only).

Clean facility, free breakfast & easy area to get to Dotonburi. Small room but overall definitely a great value.
