Hankyu Hanshin Properties in Osaka

Considering Japanese standards, the room size was quite good. We could comfortably open both a 28-inch and a 20-inch suitcase after shifting the table and chairs. The room was clean, and the complimentary toiletries were nice. While the towels were thinner than what we're used to in Chinese hotels, they were perfectly sufficient and spotless. The hotel's location is undoubtedly its biggest asset; getting to Universal Studios Japan and Umeda was both fast and incredibly convenient. There are plenty of dining options and convenience stores right downstairs, plus a supermarket not too far away. Highly recommended!

The hotel is right in the Umeda shopping district, which makes shopping super convenient. What's really great is that you can take the JR directly from the hotel by turning left out of the elevator on the second floor and walking for about five minutes. The room was quite clean.

🎐 **Hotel Location** The location is incredibly convenient! From JR Osaka Station, just look for the 3rd-floor connecting passage, and you can reach the hotel directly via a skywalk. It's connected to shopping malls like Lucua, Lucua 1100, and Grand Front Osaka. 🎐 **Malls Below the Hotel** There are two malls directly below the hotel: Yodobashi Camera and Links. These two buildings are interconnected from B1 to the 5th floor. The hotel lobby is on the 9th floor. You can take the escalator to the 8th floor of Links, which leads directly to the Harves supermarket on B1. 1. From the 9th-floor lobby, there are 4 elevators to the lower floors; 2 of them only go to floors 1, 2, and 8. 2. To catch the JR, go to the 2nd floor. On the 1st floor, right outside, there's a taxi stand, and across the street, you'll find a drugstore. 🎐 **Hotel Facilities and Services** 1. If you arrive at the hotel before check-in time, you can scan a QR code to register and store your luggage. After registering on your phone, take a screenshot and show it to the staff when you pick up your luggage. 2. Facilities are comprehensive, including toothbrushes, coffee, tea bags, and two microwaves, among others. 3. This time, I booked an accessible triple room (the difference is that the toilet and shower are open-plan, and there's no bathtub). It's spacious, the layout is the same as a deluxe triple room, but it's cheaper. The only downside is that the restroom was quite cold. 4. There are no disposable slippers, so I recommend bringing your own! Overall, it's really convenient! The location is excellent, making transportation and shopping easy. It's also close to the airport limousine bus stop. I'll definitely stay here again!

The ideal hotel experience… really I feel like a princess! Everything is so nice and well thought out, even in the economy room, there are nightgowns and slippers and even a shoe shine kit, they even provide a 3-type charger in the room. The beds are perfectly comfortable. The bath is so deep and relaxing, and the shampoo and conditioner are really nice quality! There are even vending and ice machines on every floor, I recommend to pair a cold drink with your bath. The view looks onto the Flower Road and it’s very nice. The breakfast is amazing, everything is delicious and very well thought out. The omelet cooked by hand and the cake of the day were the highlights, there is also a very nice salad bar. I recommend the rose hip tea to pair with your breakfast, it’s refreshing and doesn’t have too much sugar. The hotel is also only 2 minutes walk from the Takarazuka Grand Stage, we were able to have a relaxing breakfast, leave our luggage in the lockers near reception, and then stroll over for the 11am performance.

The hotel's biggest asset is its location; it's convenient for getting everywhere. In Umeda, walking above ground with Google Maps is fine, but the underground is a nightmare – you'll definitely need to use the overhead walkways to find your way. I had to turn off the AC in the room because it was too hot, but the window wouldn't open. The air purifier's filter was incredibly dirty; I've always seen clean filters in other hotels, but Japanese hotels these days... Also, at the Daikoku next to Yodobashi Camera, all the sales staff were Chinese, and the prices weren't even that cheap.

The location is fantastic; you can see the hotel right from Fukushima Station. There's a food street downstairs and a Hankyu supermarket (definitely worth a visit if you have time! Lots of great, affordable stuff). When we checked in, staff helped us use the self-service machine, and our luggage, which we'd sent ahead via Yamato Transport, was brought out to us at the same time. The front desk area also provides complimentary toiletries like toothbrushes and combs, as well as tea bags, for guests to pick up themselves. The room is small but has everything you need, though you can really only open one suitcase. 😂 Later, we needed to send our luggage to the airport. Luckily, we found a Chinese-speaking staff member, but we still had to fill out all the forms ourselves. I'm not sure why all the guides I read said the front desk would help with this. Since we can't write Japanese, it took us almost half an hour to fill out the three forms. There's also a really delicious yakitori place near the hotel! I highly recommend checking it out.

The environment: The view from the hotel room was absolutely stunning! I stayed for three days and two nights, and both the mornings and sunsets were incredibly beautiful. The rest of the time, I was out exploring and eating! Hygiene: The room was spacious and clean. I booked a triple room, and it was perfectly fine for three people. Location: Excellent location, within a 15-minute walk to Yodobashi Camera, right next to Lucca, and Daimaru department store. There are also many great restaurants along the way. Service: The beautiful ladies and handsome gentlemen at the front desk were all very enthusiastic! Even with my poor Japanese, I had a pleasant conversation with them! Thank you very much, I'd love to visit again! ^_^

Location: Probably the only hotel located right inside Shin-Osaka Station. You don't even need to exit the station; just head to the north exit and you're there. Facilities: The rooms are cramped. If you have large luggage, this isn't the place for you. Don't book a queen room for two people – you'll be constantly bumping into things just trying to move around. Service: Mostly self-service, but there was a friendly guy at the front desk who spoke Chinese, and the service was good.
