We stayed at this hotel twice during our visit and felt it was really good value for money. We got the room for $115 which included buffet breakfast for 2 (which was also exchangable for lunch vouchers if you missed breakfast - how good!). Our room was a lot bigger than other hotels we stayed at in Japan and had... more

The Namba Oriental is a great place... the rooms are meduim size and modern..its a great Hotel to stay at if you arrive at Kansai airport.. a quick 30 minute Rapit train.. and your at Namba... the airport train is down at the end of the shopping arcade you have to walk up the arcade.. and take that 21 exit...... more

Just got back from a 2 week trip to Japan. The Oriental was one of the better hotels we stayed in (across 6 cities). Great location - right in the heart of the Namba area. Beware if you like Japanese kitchen accessories as there is Osaka's big restaurant supply section of the market very close by. Also a great bookstore... more

We booked the Namba Oriental because it was centrally located and had a decent price, especially for downtown Osaka. The room was fine except that we wanted a non-smoking room and were given a smoking room. Also the hotel was a bit hard to find on arrival as you have to walk through a shopping center to find the entrance,... more

We stayed at this hotel Jan 08. The hotel was clean but the decor tired. Having stayed in business hotels in the Namba area on previous visits to Japan I feel they represent better value and I preferred what they offer. There is no two ways about it the lobby area smells strongly of smoke as do the lifts. If... more

This hotel is at the heart of the action in the Minami area of Osaka. The rooms are small but clean and priced very attractively. For a building in the midst of such an overwealming profusion of liaght and sound, the hotel feels remrkably peaceful with its Italianate courtyard and noise free rooms. Locating the hotel would be virtually impossible... more

I've stayed in lots of nice hotels before, and the Namba Oriental was a great deal for the price. It's actually quite easy to find (coming from the Namba subway, exit B21 and it's right there on the left). The staff was extremely friendly and the room was spacious, comfortable, and had classy decor. I loved the location in the... more

If you want the lights and action of Osaka, this is the place to stay! It is in the heart of the main shopping/nightlife district of Osaka with plenty of 24hr venues around to keep you entertained.. plenty of pachinko parlours also to lose all your hard earned at the brain numbing game. True, this hotel can be a little... more
