Voco Osaka Central exterior.
The Voco Osaka Central sites midway between the important Kita and Minami districts. It’s not on the main Midosuji Line, which runs under Osaka’s “main street” (Midosuji), but it’s located on Yotsubashi-suji, which is only a few blocks away, and Higobashi Station is a very easy walk away. And, you can walk to both Kita and Minami from the hotel. Best of all, the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, but there are plenty of shops, restaurants and cafes nearby.

Voco Osaka Central lobby lounge.
The rooms at the Voco are attractive and well laid out and the common areas are stylish. There’s a restaurant and a small fitness center, so there’s everything you need for a comfortable stay. Best of all, the rates here sometimes drop down to the budget bracket, making this an extremely affordable hotel and I’m happy to recommend it.
