"The hotel is located right next to the train station, and subway stop. It was within walking distance to all the best shopping areas. Howeve it was not easy to find the railway platform to Nara and it was further than we had thought. Do prepare enough time for it even knowing the station is right there."

"Recommended to stay at this hotel if you’re planning to explore Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and other nearby areas. It’s in a great central location, within walking distance of Namba’s shopping streets and plenty of restaurants. The hotel was also very clean, making it a comfortable place to stay throughout the trip."

"It was clean, cozy and the staff were very helpful. The location of the hotel was very good since it was close to multiple subway stations and major malls(namba city, namba park). It was quiet and even though it was near the train tracks the isolation was great once you close the windows."

"Love the location, can’t beat it. As soon as you’re off the elevator, Namba and Dotonbori is right there!
If you chose to have the lounge access, it’s open from 2pm to 9:30pm. It technically closes at 10:00pm, but they start shutting everything down by 9:30pm. Free soft drinks, beer, sake, wine and some hards. Pancakes and chips, nuts and cheese. Good to chill after a long day of shopping and touring."

"Very conveniently located in a short walking distance from including, but not limited to: Namba, Nipponbashi, Dotonbori, Kuromon market. I keep returning to the Apa hotels for their philosophy of simplified luxury. I had breakfast just one morning during my stay , but it the price and quality ratio was good."

"Stat 100%dry: the underground route to Dotonbori. If you want to head to Dotonbori without worrying about rain, your best bet is staying near Namba Station (Nankai, Midosuji Line, or JR Namba) and walking through Namba Walk. It is a massive, air-conditioned underground shopping avenue spanning over 700 meters. Packed with casual eateries, ramen spots, bakeries, cafes, fashion boutiques, and souvenir shops. Walk straight under the streets with zero rain, then pop up right near the covered arcades...

"If you wish to stay in a neat, clean hotel located in the heart of Dotonbori, stay at Forza. This is our second time staying here and it is a perfect base to not only explore the local area, it is about a brisk 6 minutes walk to Namba Station. Despite the noise outside, the room was very quiet. They also supply water, coffee and an endless supply of room amenities such as razors, wash cloths and skin cream. Will probably return a third time. "

"Location was great. You've got the main anime area in Osaka next door, a nice outdoor market nearby, and can walk to Namba station for a variety of shopping malls. The rooms are the largest I've stayed in, in Japan, and have microwaves, which is a rarity. Would definitely recommend if you want to be able to relax inside your room at the end of the day."

The hotel was in a perfect spot. We loved all the quaint alleys and amazing food options within a short walk. It was close to the train station and a tranquil get away from the hustle. The room was very nice and spacious for our family of four. It was a perfect stay.

The hotel is stunning!!
We were traveling for a very special occasion, and the hotel sent us a special gift that consisted of three sets of chopsticks, cookies, and a voucher for a drink at their beautiful bar. This was very thoughtful, and we really appreciated it.
There were 6 bottles of water refilled every morning and a ton of high-quality facial products, including bath salts for the tub. The location of this hotel is fantastic, close to everything, including the metro.

Great location for Osaka. Many things are walkable and those that aren’t the train station is just a few minutes away. The hotel is great and rooms are good sized. The breakfast buffet is decent

Great place and great service. Check in can take a while when there is a line. They need a better way to do that. Otherwise, very happy with the location and the hotel is modern and the rooms are convenient. You can hear the train if you get a lower level room so I recommend a higher floor if that bothers you.

We stayed for 3 nights. I would rate this hotel as PERFECT.
There are a few great things:
- Super quiet. I am extremely sensitive to noise, so big kudos to this.
- Great location. 4 min from Nagahoribashi station, and 8min from Shinsaibashi station. Walkable distance to Dontonburi and Shinsaibashi shopping area.
- Friendly and multi-lingual front desk.
- Clean and spacious room. It's an extremely big hotel room in Japan.
I will stay here again the next time visiting osaka.
