We stayed 4 nights (May 13 - May 17th 2012) at the Swissotel Nankai Osaka which is located above the Namba Station, superb locations with its train/subway station, Takashimaya shopping and not to forget the shopping arcade at Shin Sai Bashi-Suji / Daimaru Department store and a lot of places to eat at the Dotombori area...Hotel staff were very friendly...

It's so convenient you don't have to think twice about finding the hotel. Right above Namba Station, the hotel, with it's whole block of clean, safe rooms, greets you almost immediately.

The room was certainly small, but maximum use was made of the space. Features abound. Kettle, tea set, espresso machine, very comfortable... More
