Daiwa Roynet Hotel Osaka Kitahama Review

A business hotel at Kōraibashi 2-chōme, connected underground to Kitahama on the Sakaisuji line and the Keihan main line.

Best for

A quiet room within reach of both centresLonger staysTravellers who want the rate a business district charges

Why it stands out

The underground passage. In August, and in the rain, the difference between joined to the station and near it is the whole day.

Main trade-off

Semba closes at six. Nothing here is worth walking to in the evening, so dinner is a decision made before you set out.

Why we recommend it

Best value between the centres

Our pick for Semba because it is joined to Kitahama station by an underground passage, which puts both centres one short ride away while the street outside stays quiet — the exact trade this area exists to offer.
