Osaka Hotels with Rooftop Pools

"All staff understand and speak simple English which makes communication smooth ⚠️Only one staff we met at the main entrance of hotel she was rude ( I think she was handling the free shuttle bus and when we ask where the bus going she refused to answer and chase us away 🤷🏻♀️) Oh and the Room Cleaner can understand English too and is very polite and friendly 👍 Room is really big and clean However we couldn’t find any convenient store nearby Location is far away from city center but near airport"

"That was my second stay at the Candeo chain but this one I loved more for location and better reception guys and girls who make you feel a special guest or even a friend, not just doing their job. I really appreciate that. Wanna say huge thanks to everyone who work there, I cannot skip to mention an English speaking guy (I don’t wanna post his name for his privacy), his friendliness, kindness and sense of humor made me smile every time. And for sure I’m gonna back to this hotel only, don’t even wanna look for another one for my next trip to Osaka. Thank you, guys, you’re the best! You all are sunshine! P.S. The hotel located literally in the middle of everything you need. Don’t even think, just book it and you’ll be satisfied at maximum, I swear."

"The large public bath was so refreshing and really helped me unwind; the easy access from my room to the bath and back was fantastic! I opted for room only, but there's a convenience store right next to the restaurant, so I just grabbed a few things there which saved me a lot of money – absolutely brilliant for the budget!"

"I've stayed at the New Otani in Hakata before, and this time I chose the one in Osaka. Both are equally luxurious and grand, but I found the room's cleanliness in Osaka to be a bit lacking compared to Hakata – there were some stains behind the closet door. The location is super convenient, close to both JR and Keihan train stations. The room was spacious enough, with two bathrooms, which was incredibly handy for a family trip. When we checked out, we made a last-minute decision to take the shuttle bus to the airport. We only had five minutes before it departed, but the front desk immediately called the shuttle service, printed our tickets, and had a bellboy whisk our luggage over. We made it onto the bus smoothly, and I'm very grateful for their quick assistance. The surrounding area is also very convenient; we took a leisurely stroll to Osaka Castle. We even stumbled upon an XG concert tour, with the venue, Osaka-Jo Hall, right across from the hotel! We snagged tickets for 400 yen and enjoyed a high-quality concert. So happy! 🥳"

"Good value for money hotel. APA hotels are always reliable because you know what you are getting. The public bath after a long winter's day was everything. I put some tips below for first timers. Pros: Public bath, the best part about this hotel. I have been to an actual onsen in a way more secluded place but it was almost better having a lot of people in the bath because everyone just minds their business - I recommend it even if you are shy. TV, has streaming services and it logs you out automatically when you check out, contains useful information such as public bath crowd levels, how to use the baths, safety information, weather etc. Large mirror by desk area with lights for makeup or work and full length mirrror too. Shoe horn was so handy. Good ammenities. 7 eleven on 4F by the baths, with smoothie machine. Near Namba station, Dontonbori and a lot of stores - perfect location for day trips and last minute shopping before a flight. Cons: Area can feel a bit intimidating to walk alone at night alone, I got approached by a man on the way back from Dontonbori (around 9pm, so wasn't even too late), he had difficultly taking no for an answer so I was constantly watching my back after that - just be cautious as always, ladies. Take into account waiting time at traffic lights, it can be very long if you are in a hurry with suitcases. Impersonal experience, you do most things yourself like check in/out (understandable because of the size) but it would have been nice to be greeted when leaving and coming. Tips: Get the airport limousine, drops you right by the hotel. Baths are more crowded late at night. Watch the videos on the TV for public bath rules and how to put on the yukata. Undress (wear underwear if you feel uncomfortable) and wear the yukata (tie it properly so it doesn't come undone) wiith the black outer jacket and black slippers. Tie your hair up (I used a claw clip) so it does not fall on your shoulders. Use the big plastic bag they give to carry your things in when you go to the bath. I just packed both a big and small towels provided, a hairbrush, fresh undies and my key card - toiletries are provided. Some girls did bring a change of clothes. You can unlock the bath entrance with your keycard. There are lockers with a wristband key to store your stuff after you undress and a water fountain. Only bring your locker key and the small towel into the shower room. If you are shy, you can use the small towel to cover your parts as you walk. Have a quick, hot shower before you enter the bath pools. Don't submerge the small towel, place on or tie around your head. After you bathe, you can properly wash yourself then dry yourself using the small towel before going to your locker. There is also a getting ready station after you change to dry hair and put on lotion."

"The hotel lobby was a bit tricky to find, but once I got in, I just knew it was going to be worth it. Make sure to wake up early; the view from the window won't disappoint. The rooftop hot spring, with the first rays of morning sun, is an absolute slice of heaven. For breakfast, I highly recommend the incredibly delicious egg and soy sauce rice bowl!!!"

"環境特別美，房間也比較大，帶孩子去，可以在小泳池裡玩玩水，還是挺好的。就是蚊子多，要記得開電蚊香，房間裏有配，但是我們退房時才發現，被蚊子🦟騷擾了一夜。 建議，計劃同時去世博和環球影城，或者大阪港，海洋公園的可以選擇住在這裏一夜，比較合適。不適合購物，因為周邊沒有大型購物廣場。 因為酒店周圍沒有什麼餐館，所以晚餐就在酒店內的餐廳解決了。價格不太貴，味道也挺好，以披薩，意大利麪，牛排，湯咖喱，炸雞或者魚排薯條為主，有很多種酒可以選擇。"
