Booked the hotel thru Agora, the price came out for 172$ canadian a night.. pretty expensive if I am comparing to a similar type of hotel in Tokyo... My bf already booked 4 nights on his own.. since we decided to not spend night in Kyoto, so I rebook for 2 extra nights... The location is convinient, since it was... more

My husband and I stayed at the hotel Il Cuore Namba in early November 2008 for three nights. We were arriving from Tokyo via bullet train to Shin-Osaka and then caught the train further to Namba and took the number 5 exit to reach the hotel. The hotel has a modern lobby feel, with a lounge area with two internet... more

We arrived at Nankai Namba Station at about 10.30 at night. The station has a myriad of exits, so locating the Il Cuore at night using the map provided on the hotel website was somewhat difficult, particularly since it is around the corner from the station, so not visible even when you take the right exit.

Il Coure Namba is very close to Namba Nankai station and exit 5, I think of Namba subway station. We stayed for two nights.

Excellent hotel, clean and very close to station, shopping areas and restaurants. Although the room heater was a bit too hot, and there's no air conditioning available during Spring time, the windows can be opened to obtain outside fresh air. more

I have just come back from Japan,and had the opportunity to stay in this hotel for 2 nights. If anyone is looking for a good accomodation with reasonable rate plus good location in Namba,Osaka . I highly recommend this one. Robert K OZ. more

This was a great choice of hotel in Osaka, right in the centre with an enormous amount of restaurants & shops right outside. The room was big by japanese standards & extremely clean. There's also free internet in the lobby. This will definitely be my choice if I return to Osaka more
