Apartment Hotel 11 Namba Minami III Review

| | |

This modern apartment-style hotel sits just a 15-minute metro ride from downtown Osaka. I found the location ideal – you’re a quick stroll from two atmospheric temples and just 3 minutes from the nearest metro station.

What impressed me most was each unit’s practical setup: you get your own bathroom, balcony, and a proper kitchen for whipping up simple meals.

On the downside, the balconies face a busy street which can get noisy during rush hour. Also, while the kitchens are well-equipped, the minimal counter space might frustrate serious cooks.

This place is perfect for independent travelers who want to live like a local and save money on restaurants. It’s especially suited for couples or small families planning to stay several days in Osaka.

With consistently high guest ratings for both location and overall experience, it offers good value for travelers who prefer apartment-style lodging over traditional hotels.
