Hotel the Leben Osaka At A Glance
- Great for: couples, singles, families
- Strong points: convenient location, spacious rooms and bathrooms, value
- Sample rates: US$220 to $370
The Leben lobby
As mentioned above, the Leben is well located in Minami, within easy walking distance of all the sights in Shinsaibashi, Dotombori and Namba, but just far enough from the busy areas to be pleasantly peaceful. So, for location, we give the Leben high marks.
The Leben exterior
The hotel itself is a classic upper midrange hotel with good rooms, helpful staff and pleasant common areas. It’s not over-the-top boutique, but simply a pleasing and comfortable place that you’ll be happy to return to each evening. In a word, our kind of place.
The Leben superior twin
So if you’re looking for an excellent value in the midrange, you’ll be very happy with the Leben.
