This hotel is within walking distance of Osaka Castle Park, where Osaka Castle is located. It is also close to the Tenmabashi subway station, making it a convenient location for transportation. There are many supermarkets and restaurants around the hotel, so even if you are staying only for a night, you won't have any trouble finding something to eat. The breakfast buffet included authentic curry and takoyaki, a classic Osaka delicacy. As it is close to Osaka Castle, we recommend taking a walk around the castle in the morning. There are also many coin laundry facilities in the hotel, so it is easy to do your laundry. There is also a laundry service, although we didn't use it. The room was a little small, but we slept well in the fluffy bed.

This is a hotel where you can enjoy the hot spring atmosphere in Osaka. It is close to Osaka Castle Park, about a 10-minute walk away. It is also close to JR Kyobashi Station, the subway, and private railways, about a 5-minute walk away. In addition to Osaka Castle, it is also convenient to go directly to JR Osaka Station and Umeda. There are convenience stores in the surrounding area and inside the hotel. There are also many restaurants, so the location is very good. It was quiet at night, and the night view from the room was beautiful. The large public bath, which was filled with natural hot spring water, helped me relax and soothe my travel fatigue. I enjoyed the open-air bath, jacuzzi, and sauna. However, the large public bath is only open until 10:30 p.m., so you need to be careful about the time.

A business hotel with reliable and stable quality service, where you can also soak in natural hot springs. There are plans that include breakfast and cost less than 10,000 yen, so it feels like a good deal. The room was not too small and had a calm wooden color scheme, so it was very comfortable. There is a large public bath on the top floor (13th floor), where you can relax in the indoor bath and the open-air bath. There is also a sauna and a cold bath. The breakfast included okonomiyaki, a specialty of Osaka, and mixed juice, which was enjoyable. The hotel is conveniently located near Osaka Castle, with many convenience stores in the area, and it is close to the station.

I recommend the APA Hotel Tenmabashi Ekimae. There are restaurants in Tenmabashi Ekimae, and it is also close to the Otemon Gate, the so-called "main gate" of Osaka Castle. Osaka Castle is large and walking around can be quite tiring. Although it is not a natural hot spring, there is an artificial hot spring that uses Komyo stone, so you can relax your tired body. If you book with breakfast, there is a restaurant run by a pork cutlet specialty store in the hotel, so you can enjoy pork cutlet in the morning!
