I have just come back today from a 6 day stay at Swisshotel Nankai on a leisure trip. Overall this was a good hotel, with a summary of strengths and weaknesses below: Strengths of this hotel: 1. Location - It is centrally located right above the major station Namba in Osaka. This made it very easy to get to both... more

I booked the Swissotel Nankai Osaka for three nights on lastminute.com for about Aus$180 per night. I was very impressed by the location, which was extremely easy to locate after a late night arrival at Kansai International Airport, and subsequent train ride to Nankai. Upon arrival to our (Classic City View) room, we realised we had been allocated a smoking... more

Had picked this hotel based mainly on its great location as well as the high ratings on tripadvisor.com. After a one night short stay, I must admit that we were not disappointed. Upon arrival at the Kansai International Airport, we simply turned right after clearing the customs. Looked for the train station sign and we took the escalator to the... more

My husband and I stayed in the Swissotel Nankai on three separate occasions during a recent trip to Japan. Of the various western style hotels we stayed in on our trip, this one had far and away the best service. Though it is a large hotel, the service felt very personal. Staff at every level anticipated our needs and exceeded... more

It was categorized as a classic room with city view for single use, featuring a queen size bed, LCD TV, mini bar with fridge, safety box, and a full-feature bathroom including hair-dryer, heated mirror and the... more

I booked for this hotel for my F&E honeymoon trip to Osaka. I had informed the hotel that it will be my honeymoon trip and arranged for an early checkin (due to our early flight in). The hotel helped with this arrangement, provided some chocolates with a heartwarming card for my wedding on my arrival in the room. During our... more

This was my first trip to Osaka, and i selected this hotel mainly because of the good location, and i was not disappointed. It is located right above the Nankai Namba station, so getting to/from the airport is 45mins door to door (35min train time) using the Nankai Rapit express. Dotombori shopping/entertainment area, Takashimaya department store, Namba City and Namba... more

We just returned from a three night stay at Swisshotel Nankai in Osaka. It is not just a business hotel, the location is central for both business, shopping and sightseeing. The hotel is right above the Namba station. With direct access on a rapid train to and from Kansai International airport. We didn't even have to use the courtesy Bell... more

Quite a large hotel (36 floors) in a central location in Osaka. Actually, it is joined to the railway station which can be accessed via the lower floor. This is a benefit rather than a problem - there isn't any noise from the trains. Staff and level of service are really excellent. Breakfast is really good with huge choice, US,... more
