Candeo Hotels Osaka Namba

The location is great for tourists, very close to the bustling Dotonbori canal and shopping streets. The hotel entrance feels classy and modern, and there's plenty of lifts. We loved the rooftop spas, with spacious showers and a choice of indoor and outdoor pools. The ladies powder room was well stocked with products & hairdryers, and I enjoyed the lounge room with vending machines and nice view. The coin laundry was available when we needed it. Breakfast was decent - standard buffet fare with mostly Japanese options. The room decor was clean and tidy, with comfy beds and nice PJs provided. The corner high-floor twin room had an amazing view over Osaka.

Location was amazing! Super close to Dontonburi and Shinsaibashi shopping street, and lots of restaurants/cafes nearby. There were about 2-3 metro stations on different lines within a 10-15 minute walk of the hotel which made it very convenient to travel around Osaka. Room size was good, we could easily fit 2 people plus luggage within the room without it being cramped. Bathroom was a bit small but was well equipped with shower/ bath, bidet and toiletries. We stayed on a higher level and couldn't hear any outside noise which is amazing considering how busy the location is. They also have a locker room where you can lock your luggage away on check in / check out day if needed.

The rooftop spa was the highlight of our stay. It was wonderful to be able to soak in the spa every morning and evening. It was particular special being able to soak in the outdoor spa during the cold winter weather. The room is spacious and comfortable. The hotel is just a few minutes walk to the famous Glico sign in in Shinsaibashi. A few more minutes walk will take you to Namba train station. Kuromon market is also nearby. We even walked as far as Shinsekai (new world).

The rooftop "onsen" was the main attraction for us, as well as the location - A couple minutes from Dotunburi and 10 minutes either direction to get to a metro station. The staff were very helpful and I noted good English and Chinese spoken. The public onsen baths felt very accessible for a first time onsen user and I bathed with multiple tattoos with no issues.

We booked the King room with views. Good location. Spacious room. King bed is huge. We could see Dotonbori from our window. Public bath in hotel is unique (we gave it a go, as Australians this was quite an experience). The hotel was very comfortable and had a pleasant aroma in the foyer. A short walk to Dotonbori and America-kura area's, plus lots of other great places. A short walk to train station. We were very comfortable here and would probably stay again.
