The Royal Park Canvas - Osaka Kitahama

10/10 Excellent

"One of the cleanest and nicest hotels I been in Japan and it’s been my second time, the staff were really patient and helpful with my check in and when I was there, not to mention they had free skin care too? Also what I liked about the hotel was that they had events happening throughout the month and I was lucky enough to be in a week where there was loads of events happening! Highly recommended for anyone wishing to stay in Osaka. I shall be back!"

ANCHORED by RIHGA OSAKA NAMBA

10/10 Excellent

"So glad I found this hotel for my 5 night stay in Osaka. It is a 2 minute walk to metro (Ebisucho). You had all the konbini that’s within a 2-minute walk and Daiso (for all the random things you forgot to pack). Very very convenient location. It is a 30 minute walk to Dontonburi or 15 min train ride. 10 minute walk to Donki. Besides the convenient location, staff was extremely friendly. My key card for my assigned room didn’t work, the staff was extremely apologetic, assigned me another room right away and even escorted me up to ensure I was able to get in. Anytime I needed an extra towel, they would bring it in less than 5 minutes, extremely prompt. Speaking of towels, I love that there’s an option for them to exchange the towels and take out trash instead of a full room clean. There are washers and dryers on floor 6, 10, 15. 3 washers, 3 dryers, electronic payment, no coins, very easy to use. They also had a golf simulator on their basement floor I did not get to check out as well as a cute game room with vending machines and board games you can borrow and take to your room and communal bath all on the 15th floor. The 15th floor also had a vacuum seal machine. The bags are small and thin (make sure not to overfill), but for what it is, it’s an amazing option to help pack!! The room was a very comfortable size! It was very clean. The price was the cherry on top, it was very reasonable! When I come back, will book here again."

Hotel New Otani Osaka

8/10 Good

"It depends why you are in Osaka its pretty and there are two metros nearby, Osaka Castle is across the as is au big venue but to get to other places you spend time and it gets tiring. Food was ok, the bar on the roof was lovely and staff really helpful. It’s an expensive taxi to the airport. The shuttle only goes in the morning. There is nowhere to sit and relax if you have a late flight. Reception & concierge were very kind and refrigerated my food gifts."
