Top Japan Hotel Reviews

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower

8/10 Good
"Guests have to pay for the rooftop pool and there are periods to be in there. Each period is an hour. This is to limit the numbers of guests. Im okay with that but 60 buck (Cad) per time seems to be unreasonable to me. Breakfast seems all right but not too delicious. Not a lot of items for more than 50$ per person. Lastly the hottub. The hot water seemed to be stucked therefore we got mostly just a little of the cold side or no cool water at all."
