Smile Residence Properties in Osaka

Very good hotel. I was there 6 days. Absolutely nothing to complain about. The room looks very good. The bed is super comfortable. The location is ideal if you want to make one or multiple daytrips to Kyoto: It's close to the shinkansen station, so you can be in Kyoto in a half hour from the hotel (if you buy the trainticket in advance). It's also close to the metro that brings you to Dotonbory in 10 mins. The service was great: they will send your luggage to your next hotel if you ask them, so I didnt need to drag around my big suitcase from Osaka to Tokyo. Thank you for a nice and very comfortable stay!

LUGGAGE STORAGE 💀 💕Overall the hotel is amazing! Near to 7/11 and Lawson. There’s an airport bus just 5minutes away. However, their luggage storage system, it says there’s free luggage storage but they only allow ONE baggage per person, if there’s 2 ppl in your room then 2 luggages. You can store your other luggages at the mall where the airport bus is, BUT Sundays the storage space is closed and we had to drag our luggages to somewhere else for a whole day….you should have written the one luggage per person instead of free luggage storage at the concierge so that people can plan accordingly.

Facilities: The facilities are excellent, with an ice machine, vending machine, and a large public bath. Service: The staff can speak English and Japanese, and they provide multi-language brochures for local attractions. Hygiene: The room was clean and well-stocked with amenities.

Very perfect location with many transport options and different lines available. It’s within walking distance to Dotonbori and Namba. There are plenty of eateries nearby, and the hotel is opposite McDonald’s and a 24-hour AEON hypermarket. The room is enough for two people and has everything we need. It’s not very big, but more than sufficient. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Osaka! Perfect 10/10.

This hotel is very new and clean, with a breakfast restaurant and complimentary water on the ground floor. The location next to Tennoji Park is fantastic; it's just across the street from Shitennoji Temple. Getting to Tennoji Station is also very convenient, about an 8-minute walk straight down the road.

I would like to sincerely thank 李 and 伏见 for their efforts in coordinating with various parties and helping me successfully retrieve my lost bag from the Shinkansen lost and found centre. Even though the reception was busy with other travelers and this wasnt part of their job, they still took the time to help me. Because of their help, I was able to enjoy the rest of my Japan trip.

The hotel is located in Nakanoshima, and it's a bit of a walk from Higobashi subway station. When I arrived, I walked through an underground passage after exiting the subway, and then emerged from the basement of a building to find myself already in Nakanoshima. It was another short walk from there to the hotel. The front desk staff were very friendly. Their English wasn't perfect, but simple communication was manageable. The room was a bit small, but the window faced directly onto the Tosabori River, and there was no noise, which was great. The breakfast selection wasn't extensive, but the restaurant staff were very nice. The hotel is on an island and is very close to Watanabebashi Station on the Keihan Nakanoshima Line, making it incredibly convenient to get to Kyoto by Keihan train. When I left, I walked along the riverside directly to Higobashi subway station, which took about 10 minutes. The view was much more open than in the underground passage, and it didn't feel too far at all.
