In a relatively good location within 10min walk to any subway stations. Family mart just across the street. Lobby staff spoke good English. A good size for a family of 4! Able to loan AppleTV which is a godsend as Japanese channels (I’m sorry) are really boring. Laundry at ground floor washes in 30min and dryer works well, clothes are totally dry in just 40min. Will stay here again.

Great hotel with perfect location for down town experiences of Osaka. Friendly and helpfull staff.

Family friendly! The room wasn't so clean.

Very nice, large rooms, near the station and lots of restaurants.

The Minato aparthotel is ideally located, 10 mins walk from dontonbori and a truly incredible shopping district/nightlife area (or 15 mins from Hommachi station, which can basically get you anywhere you want in Osaka within 20 mins). The room was very nice - simple, very clean, lots of space for the 4 of us and well equipped (especially when compared with Tokyo hotels); bunk beds for the kids also really good, helping to make the most of the space in the apartment. The staff were super friendly (the whole place is very kid/family friendly) and the laundry room downstairs was also a real perk when travelling between hotels (quick, cheap and easily accessible). Overall, a really great and very reasonable place to stay in central Osaka - we can thoroughly recommend!!

We stayed for 2 and half weeks in Mimaru Namba North Osaka. This hotel is definitely one of the reasons that make our Japan trip the best vacation we've ever had. The location of the hotel is perfect for our city trip. It's within walking distance to tourist-crowded Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi. Namba and Nihonbashi shopping area is also not too far away by foot (good news for manga fans and Gundam enthusiasts). Yotsubashi subway station is very close. Three metro stops will take you to the Umeda area for shopping and food. There are a few convenience stores right next to the hotel. A big supermarket is also close-by. The area is also filled with good restaurants. We tried almost everyone of them on the street, you can't go wrong. The room is very spacious for a family. You find everything you need in the room. It's impressively clean. The beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is handy. There is washing machine and dryer in the hotel, which is important for our long stays in the summer. The hotel staff are super friendly and very helpful. Their English are excellent. They are very knowledgeable of the city and are always willing to help. Mr. Hao, Miss Ayane and my fellow-Dutchmen are especially helpful. In the room, we are missing some storage space for cloths and things. This is the only thing I can think of for our 2 and half weeks stay. I would honestly recommend this hotel for anyone travelling with kids to Osaka. It will make your stay in Osaka easy and joyful. We will

About 10-15 min walk to all main shopping and attractions! Staff super friendly and helpful

Fun pokemon room! Nice sized room for our family and easy to get to trains. Front desk staff were so helpful with our luggage transfer and other questions. My daughter enjoyed the games too.
