We loved the location- right in the incredible arcade complexes of Minami. Some of the directions on Trip Advsor to the hotel are now out of date. Best suggestion if coming by train: stay in the underground Namba Walk. Take corridor B and find exit 21. Look on the roof for the exit numbers. Come out. Walk away from Sennichimae... More

The location of this hotel is quite nice as it is inside a covered canopy when you step outside of the hotel. There are lots of small food stall, eateries, convenient stores etc. Although the location is not the best as it is a bit of a walk towards the train station (but in Japan 5-10 mins of brisk walk...

The location of the Namba Oriental Hotel is great. It is very close to all of the Namba stations from the Subway, Hanshin (to Kobe), Nankai (to Wakayama and Kansai International Airport), Kintetsu (to Nara/Nagoya). There is a famous cake shop a couple blocks away as well as a famous comedy theatre. For great food, you can easily head around... More

It's located inside a shopping arcade (convenient on a rainy day) and lots of restaurants are just nearby. Namba station is really near the hotel so it's easy to take subway or train e.g. to the Kansai airport, Kyoto and Nara. We had a twin room on the Quality (9th) floor. It was a bit crampy with two adults, two... More

I stayed here when I traveled Osaka with my friend in 2011. This hotel is really close to the subway station, so it was really easy to get aound Osaka and come back in the evening. The hotel entrance was inside shopping arcade. It was convient when it was rainy. In this shopping arcade, there are 24 hour open durgstores,... More

Located in Namba area, very near to Kintetsu, JR, Metro & Nankai station (5mins walking distance) , restuarant and shops nearby, very convenience! Nice staff. Reasonable price! More

I visited Osaka on a mission so the hotel for me was a place to dump my bags and sleep only. For this it was utterly fantastic. Because it is located in the middle of basicly pedestrian only streets there is no traffic noise. The staff speak good english and are helpful. VERY important if you are a non smoker... More

I stayed at the Namba Oriental for 5 nights in September 2010. The accommodation was excellent. Very clean rooms and bathroom, excellent television reception, internet connection for the laptop etc. The elevators were fast and there was never a long wait. The hotel is in excellent condition throughout. My only gripe was the breakfast. The dining room seemed to be... More
