$$$$, Chuo-ku
Fodor's Review:
A striking white tower in the colorful Shin-sai-bashi Station area, the Nikko is within easy reach of Osaka's nightlife. Price depends on amenities, as the twin and double rooms are all the same size. Opt for a room on one of the L floors for a couple of thousand yen extra. The decor is red, black, and gray, and the rooms have plush beds with double spring mattresses. Black-and-white photographs of Mido-suji-dori ornament the walls. Ask for a no-smoking room if you prefer not to be assaulted by the smell of stale cigarettes. From Exit 8 Shin-sai-bashi Station on the Mido-suji Line, you walk directly into the hotel.
