The Swissotel Nankai is situated in the heart of Namba, a vibrant central quarter of Osaka, Japan. The hotel is right above the Namba station and most importantly, it is right above the fast train to the airport. The room was very spacious, relative to other hotel rooms in big cities in Japan. Breakfast is served up on the 36th... More

The Swissotel Nankai was a wonderful stay and we wish we could have stayed longer while visiting Japan. The lobby is warm and inviting, the reception staff exceptional and very helpful. Our room was very comfortable and being on a high floor afforded wonderful views of the city. The bed was extremely comfortable and allowed us a very restful and... More

Swissotel in Osaka is in a very good location ... right above a busy subway station, walking distance from the shopping area of Namba. Many shops or restaurants nearby that are open until late (including some fast food or chain restaurants open 24 hours). The rooms were clean, service was good. Good, wide breakfast spread. There was a short line... More

Sadly, we had two complaints about our stay here: one major, one minor. 1st: Cleanliness. We stayed at the "Japanese suite" on the 14th floor. The room, simply put, was unclean. Dust bunnies had collected on most of the fittings and door frames, etc. I did not expect this from a Japanese hotel. We've stayed at much more modest Japanese... More

Conveniently located in the heart of Osaka. Near Shinshaibashi, Dotonburi and below the hotel is Namba station that takes makes it easy to ride the subway to any part of Osaka. Buffet breakfast is excellent with a wide variety of food and a beautiful view of the city.

Score: 6.0 out of 9. Misterpiggy would stay here again only because of it's premier location and convenience. As a four star hotel, it doesn't quite shine as well as say the four star Southern Century hotel that Misterpiggy stayed at in Tokyo.
