Traveling to Japan? Find Osaka Prefecture hotels

We were here for our honeymoon trip. Room was rather small but the hotel itself is very near to Dotonbori Area. Complimentary hot spring at the top floor and free ramen & alcohol drinks from 9-11PM. Full Amenities provided and the room was very clean. Staff was helpful and friendly. Will definitely come back and stay here and recommend to everybody who is looking for the perfect hotel in Osaka (Dotonbori Area)

Pros: •Literally located in front of Universal Studios Japan, no need to rush going to the train station! •A great view of the park, especially the Hollywood Dream Rollercoaster, which made us want to go back to USJ again soon •Superior room has a deep bath tub which you can use to relax after spending the whole day at the park •Separate room for toilet, TOTO washlet is superb •Large beds compared to other hotels in Osaka •Almost everything is provided for- free bottled water for all the guests, toiletries, bubble bath, comb, razor, Shiseido cleansing oil, shaving cream, bath, face and hand towels. Just request to make up room when you leave in the morning •Hotel is only a few steps away from Hotel Kintetsu, where the Airport Limousine Bus drops and picks up passengers to and from Kansai International Airport. Bus ticket can be purchased at the 3rd Floor lobby of Hotel Kintetsu. Booth is open by 7am, first trip going to Kansai leaves at 9:06am. Cons: •a bit far from downtown Namba, take the JR Yumesaki Line to Nishikujo, you might need to transfer to Hanshin Line going to Osaka-Namba •no English speaking channels We had an amazing experience, we were upgraded to a Superior with park view room. Room was spacious!!! All our queries were answered prior to our trip and everything was okay when we checked-in. Thank you Agoda and to all the staff of The Park Front Hotel.

Unlike many hotels in Osaka which rooms are tiny, Candeo has surprised us with the size and a full bath tub, in addition to the city view (but we were on the top floor and corner room, it’s worth paying extra for this!). It has a public bath but can get crowded in the evening. The hotel is very centrally located that tube stations, Namba, and the fish market are within walking distance. It doesn’t offer as much a variety of cleaning products/ toiletries as other Japanese hotels but compared to the norm of European/ American hotels this is above average.

i requested non-smoking room and room was great, clean, utilities u need, and no smoke smell and i checked in late at 9pm everything smooth acounter staff was nice and english speaking, checkin/out was fast. internet was LAN so bring your own travel wifi router(with cable) you can use fast speed internet for free. close to subway & restaurants opens till late nearby shopping just closeby. will come back again! my #1 hotel in osaka!

We've travelled in Amsterdam, Los Angeles, Osaka, Tokyo, Seoul, etc. We have found that this hotel is absolutely the best hotel we have stayed. It is brand new, rooms are very very clean, free ramen and beer at night, and the spa is beautiful. The staff from the moment we showed up was receptive and spoke both English and Chinese. When we bumped into a small issue, the staff was very understanding and compensated us fairly. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to the osaka area.

The hotel is located inside the station. It is easier to travel to any part of Kansai from the hotel. Restaurants and convenient shop, Tokyu Hands and shopping mall are between walking distance. Room is spacious and comfortable. Clean bed sheet and towels are being changed every day, their do the housekeeping properly where you can't find any dirty dust in the room. I would strongly recommend this hotel to anyone who plans to travel to Osaka. For sure, this is my favorite hotel in Osaka. Good Job Granvia Osaka!

We stayed in the double room the first night and it was tiny even for japan standards. There was no space to put my luggage. The 2018 Osaka earthquake happened early next morning and we requested a lower floor room. This was a twin room and it was much better. The hotel will tell you to use the "wbfhommachi" wifi network but it was unstable and I found it much better to use the one in your room. There's a separate wifi network for each room. The password can be found in the TV (the TV has this function which lets you cast your phone to the TV. One of the instruction pages show the wifi password, it's not difficult to find). Google Chromecast works only if you use the wifi in your room. Hotel also provides a free smartphone with data in each room which you can take with you for google maps web browsing. Shinsaibashi is minutes walk away from the hotel and Hommachi subway is also nearby. Breakfast is one of the best I've had.

we booked our room only 2 weeks before our arrival and we got a very good rate. the room was very clean and spacious, when you compare to other mini room across osaka. i got a room on high floor and could take a look at the skyline of osaka city every day and night which was amazing. hotel services were very professional. hotel location was unbeatable which was right at the shopping area of shinsaibashi with subway underneath the hotel connected to daimaru department store! you can't find any hotel more convenient than nikko hotel in osaka city!

Stayed for convenience the night before a flight from Terminal 2 at Kansai Airport. Comfy beds not too hard but not soft either, black out curtains and not noisy which was surprising. So handy as we took the limo bus from kyoto, got off first stop at terminal 2 (not 1 as mentioned in some other reviews which caused some confusion and has to confirm with the bus driver that we should get off and not continue to terminal 1 when we saw the hotel virtually in front of us at terminal 2). When you get off the bus the railway is on the left and of you walk past the rail booking desks you are in terminal 2 international departures. On the right when you get off the bus is a walkway to the hotel. Great location for an early morning flight. Rooms were ready early for us to checkin and so we could dump bags and take a train with JR to Osaka for the afternoon. The only issue we had was that it probably would have been almost as easy but perhaps more stressful to have stayed somewhere in Osaka centre near the castle for the night and take a measly train straight to the airport. The return train to Osaka took 45mins and cost £25 each. We had paid a lot already for the limousine bus to the airport from Kyoto. Could have trained cheaper to Osaka and stayed the night them taken the one hour to get up early and get to the airport at Kansai. Kansai is a great airport as it’s small and has anything you need and customs were quick. Really down to preference is you’d rather be at the airport the morning of the flight but as far as the hotel, great location, service and rooms. Food in hotel expensive but there are restaurants in the building it’s in as well as the airport.

Stayed 4 nights. It is accessible from Osaka station (south exit) about 15 mins walk through the underpass. It was very difficult to find the hotel as Osaka station is a huge station (many exits, many different lines, many different underpass intersections). Took me about 30 mins to find the hotel. Would not recommend if you have big luggages and young children (which i had). The 15 mins walk to hotel from Osaka station was also especially tiring for our feet after day trips to Kyoto/Nara. We were also often lost as the underpass are especially confusing as they look all the same when you are there. But the hotel was very new and the rooms were very comfortable. After checking out, I took a taxi for about 2000 yen from opposite the hotel (shorter route) to Shin Osaka station to avoid pushing my luggages through the underpass (no escalators for downwards direction) & to avoid changing platforms at Osaka station (difficult to move big luggages to different platforms (at different levels)

We loved our stay at the Karaksa Hotel in Osaka (Namba)! The room was small by American standards, but it was actually the biggest room that we had on our trip. The shower and sink is separate from the toilet room, so that was very convenient. The hotel is very clean and modern. We were on the top floor and the elevator was very fast... we never had to wait long to come or go to our room. The breakfast that came with our room was adequate. It is advertised as a “western breakfast.” There are some things that fall into that category (waffles, pancakes, yogurt and fruit, and two options of dry cereal, scrambled eggs... done differently than what were used to though, rolls and bread for toast). The staff were very friendly and helpful. The only minor issue is that the subway is not really close. It’s about a 10 minute walk. This was not an issue for us, but some might find that inconvenient. Overall, our stay was wonderful and we would definitely return to this hotel!

I love this hotel! Was scouring the internet for hotels near USJ and came across this gem. It did not have a lot of reviews when I booked it but from the ones that were left, I was hooked. So I booked a 2-night stay for a family holiday and it did not disappoint. One, it is really near Universal City Station (by near I mean adjacent to it). Universal City Walk is a minute walk while Universal Studio Japan is at most a 5-min walk. Since it is really near Universal City Station, going anywhere in Osaka does not take too long. We went to Dotonbori on our 1st night there. Two, it is new (opened in 2017 I think). Three, the room is spacious (I booked a corner room so it might be bias). Four, the staff are really helpful and super friendly. The cherry on top is certainly the Skyspa on the top floor. (For beginners, i.e 1st time traveller to Japan, it is sort of like a hot spring in the hotel. What you do is you go up to the 14th floor, bring the hand towel provided by the hotel and wear the yukata prepared by the hotel. Bathe before you go into the hot spring and bathe again after. One crucial thing is you have to be naked at the soaking area. You can bring the small hand towel with you but do not wet it at the pool. All your belongings must be stored in the lockers provided and this should go without saying that phones and cameras are not allowed in the spa.) No downside to this hotel although if you want to be picky then the breakfast might not suit your palate as it caters mostly to the locals. My family and I love it tho. Another unique thing about the hotel is the amenities are given freely at the lobby, so a little self restraint is advised. In conclusion, this hotel has met my expectations and more. Will definitely stay here again when we come back.

The hotel is across the umeda airport limousine station so very convenient for airport drop-off and pick-up. It is adjacent to subway station for midosuji, hankyu and JR lines making means of transportation convenient. It is surrounded by shopping malls and restaurants. Staff at front desk are very courteous, can understand and speak English and helpful. Rooms are very clean and bigger than usual compared with other hotels in Osaka. They have repacking / weighing room in the lobby which is very useful and convenient after last minute shopping. The only downside in this hotel room is that you can hear the sound of trains leaving the umeda station. Sound is tolerable and not irritating though.

When I first started looking for hotels in Osaka (3pax in 1room), I was pretty dismayed at the prices I saw. For this hotel, I was supposed to pay USD 250, but I was able to use some points and a discount given by my credit card, so the final price I paid is USD235. I don’t know about the prices in your country, but in our country, USD 250 plus just a little more can already get me a room at 5 star hotels, and this was only a 3.5 star hotel according to Agoda. I prepared myself for a “just okay”, mediocre hotel. After 6 nights of stay, my view has definitely changed for the better! Let’s be realistic– of course I didn’t magically step into a luxury hotel. But I find that the value you get for the money you pay is great!!! Now, I really love this hotel and would book and go back to it for any future travels to Osaka (unless I find a better deal elsewhere of course). Location – LOVE LOVE LOVE. It’s right at the heart of Umeda. When you come out of the back entrance, the whole street is lined with restaurants. You are surrounded by shopping malls, shopping streets, shopping arcades… Of course with shopping comes food – food “museums”, food “floors” in malls, food streets, food arcades. And of course, the train/metro/subway, is also right there – just a 5-10 minute walk. You are on the edge of one of the major rail hubs called the “Umeda/Osaka Station”. It’s not the NEAREST hotel to the station, but given the ones right at the very heart of the station are more expensive, the location of this hotel is A-OKAY!! Arrival – the “ANNEX” is different from the MAIN Hotel New Hankyu. The main hotel is nicer, nearer to the hotel, of course more expensive. But for me, it doesn’t make much of a difference location-wise. The annex is still fabulous. Another thing to love - the Airport Limousine Bus drops you off at the Hotel New Hankyu Main! Then you can just walk to the Annex. As advised by the other reviewers, go the main one, and ask them how to get to the annex. They a

We stayed 3 days here.thrn had to go to tokyo. We were very impressed by the staff and the location so when we came back to choose another 2 days for osaka it was an easy choice to pick this hotel again.when we go back to japan I will definitely pick this hotel. Be sure to choose the PREMIUM version of this hotel chain as it's different to standard dormy inn.unless you are a 5 star traveller I can't see anything that is bad about this hotel. Well done and thank you to all the staff at dormy inn premium osaka.

If you ever travel to Osaka and are planning to visit USJ, I would highly recommend this hotel to you. The staff are friendly, the rooms are big and clean, the beds are comfortable and the toilets are big and clean. It is just a 4-min walk to the Universal City station and not far from Osaka and Shin-Osaka stations. I would love to come here again if I visit Osaka again. I stayed in the minion room the first night and a standard room the second night. The minion room is so cute and the beds are so pretty! Highly recommended if you are a true minion fan. They allow you to keep the minion-designed hotel cards and the minion bag and toiletries!

Very easy to find this hotel. If you take Nankai line direct to Namba station (which is last stop). Get down the escalator, turn left (you should see the 'Swissotel Nanka Osaka 4 or 5 star hotel' on your left hand side, but double cost compare to hotel Ilucuore). Walk straight, facing the road, turn right. You should see a traffic light at your left side (opp shop is something like Daiso, selling shampoo, tissue.. cheap stuff). Wait for the green light cross the road, walk straight till you see the family mart at your left side. Infront there is a car park at your left side. Then you might see the "Hotel Ilucuore". Less than 5min walk can reach the hotel. This Namba station, link to the other few subline. so easy to travel around. My husband, daughter 4years old and me. like this room very much, non-smoking room super clean. everything provided. like electric converter, alot of plug for us to charge our phone/ipad/camera. Also wireless free services provided. Sponge for bathe and hair bend also provided. Only 1 thing no good, die die must wait till 3pm then can check in. Eventhough surronding have a lot of place to shop and eat. but travel in night really didnt sleep well. Really torture when waiting since 10am-3pm, wait about 1pm my girl tired till fall in sleep, no choice have to carry her back to hotel, rest place (have sofa, coffee, computer for surf net and also wireless service) to wait till 3pm. Luckily I bring along my ipad, can enjoy my movie on the sofa while my girl sleeping beside. For those who first time travel to Osaka, highly recommended buy the Osaka unlimited pass which only cost yen 2700 (specially for tourist) few places entry free and have discount coupon for eat and buy thing.

monterey grasmere osaka hotel is the recommended and best accommodation in osaka. i walked from jr namba station and could reached in 3 minutes. it was very convenience to access many places by public transportation. in addition, if you would like to hang out or go shopping at night in dotonburi or shinsaibashi walking street, you can access there by walking in 8 minutes. i could save the money for transportation and save my time to move other places. for accommodations, room was so clean and new. my family really liked bathroom at the hotel. and we could see downtown at night from our room which located in 31st floor. if compared with price, and quality i do recommend tourists stay at monterey grasmere hotel in osaka because there are many japanese staffs who can speak very well in english and chinese, including some korean language.

Booked a 3 night stay for my first stop in Osaka. Room: Room was a double bed room. Amenities are sufficient and convenient, with many plug points for charging my wifi router and 2 phones. I like the toiletries that came with the room. plentiful and useful. Shower toiletries was pleasant smelling and seems to be same brand across the board with the different hotel we stayed in Osaka/Kyoto. Double bed is definitely not spacious enough for 4. Had to upgrade to a twin room the next morning. Parents with children do note, book a twin if you are a party of 4. Staff: Pleasant staff who were very helpful in my request for an upgrade, brought me to view a twin room as well. Mr KT Kim was able to converse well in English and was very helpful in helping me upgrade my room in my 3rd stop at the same hotel 4 days later. Location: Nearest exit is Namba Walk Exit 22 if you have a pram. If not, exit 24. Do NOT exit at subway exit 24, its exit is inside Namba Walk.

Though located at Shinsaibashi, this hotel is a bit away from the Eki. It takes around 10 min walking which is acceptable for such a high-standard hotel. I've been to more than 10 hotels in Japan and this is the BEST I've had. Having a fabulous and modern look from outside, its interior design is new and good too. Room is BIG comparing to the general standard of Japan, very big indeed in terms of this price. The room has a spectacular inside looking with everything newly equipped and decorated, especially this hotel has just 3 year-history. Being a business hotel the staff speaks quite fluent English which adds point to the hotel. If I go to Osaka again I MUST choose this hotel again. I strongly recommend this hotel to you all.

Hotel room was small, which is common in Osaka. But it was 2-3 minutes walk from Kitahama Train Station, which was the best thing. Hotel is next to 7 eleven for any emergency food. Good service, cleanliness and facilities as expected in any hotel in Osaka or Japan. Not many restaurants near hotel, but if you eat Japanese, then you have 4-5 good restaurants, and a super market in Kitahama plaza.

This hotel was great and comfortable to stay at, and well within my budget. I was looking for hotels that are smoke-free because I'm quite sensitive to cigarette smell, and this hotel is smoke-free for all rooms (with a smoking room at 2F), which to me is excellent. The room looked and smelled clean. The bed was quite comfortable. It was small as expected but spacious enough for me and my one giant luggage. I requested for higher floor and a room that's further away from the elevator, and the hotel was able to accommodate my request. They have luggage storage service, but it's only for the day when you check out. You can also mail your luggage there ahead of time and they will bring it to your room when it arrives. Location wise it is close to shopping area for tourists. It's at the same block as Den Den Town while Kuromon Market is only a few minutes walk away. Dotonbori is about 10-15 minutes walk, with most train stations 5-10 minutes walk away. It's nice to be able to do some shopping, drop them off at the hotel, and then do more shopping without killing your back. There are many eateries within 5-10 minutes walk (and some are smoke-free), and lots of convenient stores close by. There is also a post office (opens weekdays only) that's 5 minutes walk away if you need to mail things home, and the workers there do speak limited English. It's convenient to get to KIX via the Nankai Namba Station from this hotel (about 5-10 minutes walk, no transfer, 920 yen, 45 minutes). One little downside is it doesn't have a public desktop computer for people to use. I suppose since it's technically a business hotel, it probably expected people who needed to use a computer to have brought their own laptop. Overall, I'm glad I chose to stay at here for my first Osaka trip. If I were to travel to that area of Osaka again, I'd stay here again. If you don't need any fancy extra services and are traveling on a budget, this hotel might be just right for you ^_^

it is almost in front of the Shinsaibashi station. elevator near exit no.7 was useful to move heavy luggages. they have 2 buildings: main and annex. we got rooms at annex building which was kind of old and small... cleaning condition was not bad overall, but it doesn't look clean because of its oldness..T.T i hope i can choose to stay in new main building next time. thinking of its low price(compare to other hotels in osaka)however, this hotel is quite recommendable!
