The St. Regis Osaka

Osaka|1.77km from Osaka Museum of History
Concierge: We emailed the hotel weeks in advance of our stay to assist with bookings. Weeks would pass before they would respond, and multiple follow up emails were required to get a response. They did successfully book one 3 Michelin star restaurant to which we owe them significant credit. However, when we arrived and asked basic requests such as where to find restaurants or stores, the concierge was usually very short and had no suggestions. We were better off consulting Google maps. And this for a 5 star concierge service? In addition, the English skills of many of the concierge staff were extremely limited. While I know some Japanese, it should not be required at a hotel of this calibre. In fact, when visiting Japan, a 5 star hotel should have fluent English speakers for most front facing staff. Hotel Condition: The hotel has significant and noticeable wear and tear. We were in a Grand Deluxe Suite and when I arrived, a man was literally gluing on a piece of the door that had torn off. The woodwork throughout the suite was heavily scratched and dented including tables. The carpet was worn thin, and the sofa's velvet exterior was worn. In any event, for a hotel suite whose copay was $500+ per night, this was disappointing. Check out Process: The check out process was extremely troubling and disappointing. We asked for a Butler to assist with bags multiple times, and even after 45 minutes they did not come up to our room to collect our bags. This resulted in us having to drag our bags down to the lobby ourselves, as we were rushing for a Shinkansen train. Normally, this would have been fine, but we had a lot of luggage. The significantly wait time for luggage assistance is not characteristic of a St. Regis. Hidden Taxes and No Final Folio Provided: The hotel has some hidden taxes associated with rooms that have copays for upgrades. While we expected to pay 50,000 yen per night + about 37,000 yen in total taxes (about 5600 yen per night in tax), we did not expect too many additional taxes. Yet there was another 6500 or so taxes per night in taxes we were assessed. Even after numerous attempts, the hotel never sent a final folio nor explained the charges which is all I asked. General Impressions: The hotel seems poorly managed with a ”choatic” vibe in which there is not only no personalized guests are vying for the attention for concierge staff who are stretched too thin with minimal English skills. While I understand this is a busy time for the hotel, the hotel should not be having any difficulty meeting basic demands of elite members even when they are at capacity. The hotel felt more like a 3-4 star hotel than a St. Regis. Among St. Regis hotels, this one was a major disappointment.

Toyoko Inn Osaka Taniyon Kosaten

Toyoko Inn Osaka Taniyon Kosaten

Osaka|0.39km from Osaka Museum of History
A great thing about this hotel is the location. It is within a very reasonable walking distance of Osaka Castle, and there is an elevator going down to a subway station (serving two different subway lines) literally about 20 feet from the hotel door. There are also excellent supermarkets with deli-style, ready-to-eat Japanese foods (sashimi, tataki, octopus legs, clams, etc.) about 15 minutes walk away. Also there are numerous convenience stores nearby, and a McDonald's restaurant just down the street... for the faint of heart. Other good points are the polite staff, the reasonably well laid-out bathroom, the coin-operated clothes washers and dryers being available, and the powerful air conditioning which stays on when you are not there. The free breakfast was more or less all Japanese style food, but seemed good to me and in ample supply at the buffet table. Oh, and a kid can stay (and eat) with an adult for no additional charge. A negative is the Toyoko Inn policy of kicking out guests from 10 AM until 4 PM every day, while the rooms are cleaned. I was there with my 6 year old daughter in blazing hot August, and it sure would have been nice to swing by and cool off for an hour or so around 2 PM some days. Or maybe to hole up in there during a typhoon. Another negative is, the coin laundry is located in the breakfast room, and I believe the clothes dryers vent directly into the room air. Inevitably someone would get up to do laundry at 6 AM and have the breakfast room like a hot humid sauna by eating time. I shower in the morning, and really hated to feel that sweat pouring out of my body again so soon afterwards. And maybe the bed was a little on the hard side for me. One final gripe is that while a kid can stay with an adult for free, only one set of towels is provided unless you pay extra.
KKR Hotel Osaka

KKR Hotel Osaka

Osaka|0.52km from Osaka Museum of History
I've traveled Japan quite extensively, and so far, this is the one of the best hotel (for it's value) that I've ever stayed in. At first, I had doubts on the hotel location, seeing that I'm travelling with infant and a big luggage, but to my surprise the location is quite convenient. The connection to the subway station and JR station means you can visit almost every tourist attraction in Osaka. Just a few steps from the subway exit, the hotel provides a shuttle bus which operates every 15-minutes. Although, putting big luggage into the minibus was quite a challenge, once seated in the bus you can breathe a sigh of relief. The receptionist speaks English, so the check-in process is quite hassle free. There's a Family Mart behind the hotel in case you are looking for something to eat at night as the area is quite quiet at night. Inside the hotel there are coin operated laundry, vending machine and ice machine so your basic necessities are covered. I stayed in the Superior Room, which is the biggest room they have to offer us there. It was quite spacious and luxurious, and we really enjoyed the bathtub, which was a relief after a few days of staying in small hotel rooms of Kyoto. The view from the room is spectacular. You can continuously enjoy the view of Osaka Castle in the morning and at night. It must have been much more spectacular once the Sakura trees surrounding the castle is in full bloom. The only thing that I could nitpick on the room is that the bed and the pillow should've been as plush as the room. The breakfast menu is not quite extensive, nevertheless it is quite delicious. I will definitely stay in KKR Hotel Osaka again for my next trip.
Dormy Inn Osaka Tanimachi

Dormy Inn Osaka Tanimachi

Osaka|0.66km from Osaka Museum of History
A facility of Dome Inn with a natural public bath and a good breakfast. Since I was able to walk about 1 minute about 3 years ago, the slogan ”Have you been there yet?” In our condominium, ”From check-in to check-out, you can enter the hot spring day and night” and ”Open-air bath is the best” It is popular that ”the breakfast is rich in variety and can be eaten every day” and ”the movie is free to watch”. I was indebted to using it when my parents and friends came to play, but I finally experienced it while I couldn't travel with movement in the corona pot 々. Infectious disease control is also firmly taken, and when you enter the elevator or bathroom, you can rest assured that security is perfect with a card key. Natural trees and large stones are often used in the indoor bath and open air in the large communal bath, and it was like being in the wilderness, and I was able to forget my daily life and relax. There are about 20 kinds of breakfast buffets that are healthy, such as small bowls, beef stew, clam miso soup, rice, many Japanese and Western dishes, vegetable salads and cut fruits, etc. Needless to say, neither I nor my wife had lunch. Since it is a business, there is no dinner, but there is a high-class supermarket Koyo operated by Aeon directly opposite the hotel, and you can procure lunch boxes and warm them with a microwave oven for customers at the restaurant on the 13th floor. You can spend a relaxing time watching the night view of Osaka with free beer and wine. Although it is a customer service, the smile of all the staff including the clean staff was wonderful, and I felt high motivation and hospitality. I am impressed that there are only well-known Kyoritsu maintenance facilities, and I am proud of my town. In the future, I would like to use it as our ”distance”.

Location is walking distance to metro station. There are 7/11, Lawson convenience stores around the hotel. Also there are eateries (cafes, restaurants) found along the way to metro. The room is spacious and clean, value for money.
Hotel the Lutheran
4.6/5286 Reviews
The room was very clean and comfortable. It was close to Osaka Castle and suitable for a morning walk, so I had a good experience. There is also a 7-Eleven within 0 minutes' walk, so you won't have any trouble if you want to buy something. Breakfast was a formal buffet, but both the Italian and Japanese dishes were of high quality and I was very satisfied. Although it is a bit of a train journey from central Osaka, this is a hotel I would definitely consider if I have the opportunity to come to Osaka again.
Hotel Sun White
4.2/563 Reviews
It's so close to Osaka Castle Park, just across the road. There are also Osaka Prefectural Government Department Building and NHK Osaka Building on this road. It's in the city center and very cost-effective. There is a snack shop downstairs in the hotel, so I bought some as souvenirs. The hotel room is indeed very small, but it is quite clean. However, it is very noisy in the corridor in the morning and evening for some reason, and the hotel cleaning staff is also quite noisy.

Luxcare Hotel
4.3/510 Reviews
The location is quite convenient, surrounded by restaurants and walking to Osaka Castle. The room is a foreign-style family room, very spacious, with sufficient cooking and laundry facilities, and the bathroom is very wide and clean. The quality of the bed is also satisfactory, but the child feels that the tatami bed is too soft. There is a terrace in the room, but unfortunately the outside view is other buildings, blocking the good scenery, there is just an angel sacrifice fireworks meeting but can not be seen in the room, only a little spark, it is a pity. The window of the terrace cannot be opened, it should be concerned about safety issues. The overall stay for three nights felt very comfortable. Hotel customer service was average and could not find a cheap place to park before check-in, but the staff were very polite.
