Citadines Namba Osaka

The location is excellent, just a 400-meter walk from Don Quijote Sennichimae, and there are plenty of small shops and restaurants nearby. Transportation is convenient, with Namba subway station and Nankai Namba both within a 10-minute walk. The room is very spacious and well-laid out, featuring a microwave and a mini-fridge (for refrigeration only). The air conditioning is fantastic; it's almost silent even on the highest setting and cools very effectively. In contrast to the AC, the bathroom's ventilation wasn't as good as expected. Breakfast was very satisfying, with a wide variety of Japanese and Western options, though Western choices were more prominent. Housekeeping was impeccable, which I must commend! Compared to the hotel overall, the front desk service was rather average.

I was really surprised to find such a spacious room in Japan! The location is super convenient, close to all the major shopping districts, so it's easy to shop and dine. Yet, it's tucked away from the hustle and bustle, offering a peaceful stay. I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit.

I've stayed here many times and generally like and trust Ascott Limited, but my recent multi-night stay was quite disappointing, mainly due to cleanliness issues. On the second night, they forgot to leave a bathmat, and on the third night, they even left the cleaning rag behind. By the time I got back late, I was too tired to complain. The good thing about staying here is that all the staff speak English perfectly and service is very efficient. However, the room cleanliness really needs attention. Also, almost all rooms are connecting rooms, and during the peak summer travel season, it's best to ask if there are children in the neighboring room when you check in, otherwise, it can get incredibly noisy.

I always stay at Citadines whenever I'm in Osaka, and that's the best proof of its quality!
