Stayed 3 nights at the Swiss advantage room for a reasonable price of 110 euro per night. Also the location of the hotel made for an easy descision as it is right at (above) the station of Nanba Osaka and very easy to find (take the Nankai express with reserved seating for a 35 minute journey). There are signs that... More

The Swissotel Nankai is situated in the heart of Namba, a vibrant central quarter of Osaka, Japan. The hotel is right above the Namba station and most importantly, it is right above the fast train to the airport. The room was very spacious, relative to other hotel rooms in big cities in Japan. Breakfast is served up on the 36th... More

Swissotel in Osaka is in a very good location ... right above a busy subway station, walking distance from the shopping area of Namba. Many shops or restaurants nearby that are open until late (including some fast food or chain restaurants open 24 hours). The rooms were clean, service was good. Good, wide breakfast spread.

Sadly, we had two complaints about our stay here: one major, one minor. 1st: Cleanliness. We stayed at the "Japanese suite" on the 14th floor. The room, simply put, was unclean. Dust bunnies had collected on most of the fittings and door frames, etc. I did not expect this from a Japanese hotel. We've stayed at much more modest Japanese... More

Conveniently located in the heart of Osaka. Near Shinshaibashi, Dotonburi and below the hotel is Namba station that takes makes it easy to ride the subway to any part of Osaka. Buffet breakfast is excellent with a wide variety of food and a beautiful view of the city.
