KKR Hotel Osaka

KKR Hotel Osaka

Osaka|0.62km from Osaka Castle Main Tower (Osaka Castle Museum)
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.

Toyoko Inn Osaka Taniyon Kosaten

Toyoko Inn Osaka Taniyon Kosaten

Osaka|1.07km from Osaka Castle Main Tower (Osaka Castle Museum)
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.

VIA INN Prime Osaka Kyobashi JR-West Group
4.5/557 Reviews
The hotel stipulates that the check-out time for single rooms is 10 o'clock. There was no special instruction when checking in. When I returned to the hotel at 11 o'clock, I found that all my luggage was missing. The hotel took it to the front desk. They had my phone number, but they did not call or get my consent. He just took my luggage out of the room, which was quite disrespectful to the guests. This kind of hotel management and service attitude should not be recommended. When I complained to the manager, I just kept apologizing and didn't think it was serious. I didn't argue with him because I was in a hurry to go back to my country. Just don't stay there next time. I no longer trust the hotels recommended by Ctrip.

Osaka Hotel Keihan Tenmabashi
4.2/5265 Reviews
Much better than expected. The room is clean and tidy, everything is very comfortable. The city center is convenient to go anywhere. It's a 10 minute walk from Osaka Castle 🤩 the room is cleaned every day, and the maids are super cute and friendly. Room view is also nice. In short, can't fault it. Next time if I visit Osaka again I will definitely book this hotel again. 100 score
Hotel New Otani Osaka
4.7/5242 Reviews
After resuming my travel abroad, I visited Osaka again after five years. After looking at hotels for a long time, I chose New Otani, which I had stayed at five years ago. My impression at the time was very good. Location: Located in the northeast corner of Osaka Castle Park, it focuses on a quiet environment and is only a ten-minute walk from the lively Kyobashi Shopping Street. If you don’t plan to do a lot of shopping, this hotel’s location is still very good. Transportation: There are three nearby stations, all of which are basically within ten minutes’ walk. You can take the Osaka Metro Nagahoribashi Line directly to Shinsaibashi. There is the Keihan Electric Railway that can go directly to Kyoto Gion and Sanjo. There is also the most popular one in Osaka. The Jr Loop Line (can reach usj, airport, and Kobe) Facilities: It is hard to imagine that this is a hotel that opened in 1986. The facilities are very well maintained. Hygiene: Like the facilities, as an old Japanese brand hotel, the hygiene is clean and there is nothing uncomfortable. Service: Maintaining a high standard of service content as always In the future, Osaka will be my first choice without any surprise.
