Comfortable beds! Shuttle bus. What could be improved: The refrigerator was filled with drinks, which I moved to a shelf above the coffee machine to make place for my own things. A charge was made to our credit card after leaving with no explanation, perhaps for these drinks which were still the room. Disappointing, at least an email to clarify...

A charge was made to our credit card after leaving with no explanation, perhaps for these drinks which were still the room. Disappointing, at least an email to clarify the charge should be sent.

Comfortable

What could be improved: Nothing in particular, perhaps pricey

Gian from Mexico (14 March 2025)

9/10

Clean. Location. Attention. Breakfast

What could be improved: Rooms, depending on the price can be average size or too small (which is usual in Japan), as well as old or renovated. Restaurants below the hotel are ridiculously expensive and not very good. Better food, 4 or more times cheaper can be found nearby.

This hotel is beautiful! The staff were so helpful, friendly and so professional. The buffet breakfast was one of the best I’ve ever seen.

They offer a free shuttle to and from the main Osaka station. We loved staying here.

What could be improved: Our room was lovely, very clean and comfortable but very small.

Great hotel with a wellness & relaxation spa. ATM & Seven 11 in the complex for a few odds & ends. Was great not leave the hotel for this as winter & cold. Moreover, we were unaware we would be charged to use it. But it's worth it at least once. It's not a classic pool but a huge complex designed to distress your muscles & grab some peaceful time...

Great hotel with a wellness & relaxation spa. ATM & Seven 11 in the complex for a few odds & ends. Was great not leave the hotel for this as winter & cold. Moreover, we were unaware we would be charged to use it. But it's worth it at least once. It's not a classic pool but a huge complex designed to distress your muscles & grab some peaceful time. The hotel has an executive client base, too, but don't the business attire turn you off. Shuttle bus every 15 mins to from Osaka station makes makes the transport accessible to the hip areas of Dontonbori & Shin-saibasi. This wants to be everyone's cup of tea as it's extremely high-end.& the hotel is a huge complex.

What could be improved: The room wasn't made up one day & was total inconvenience to meeting our Japanese friends. Never had this before in 6 star hotel. It's wasn't nice experience on the night meeting friends from Osaka
