Amazing hotel and location right near Namba Station in Osaka. Beautiful hotel, with lovely city views. Great bar to have drinks and play fun games.

What could be improved: Nothing, everything was exceptional

The reception staffer was happily welcoming , efficient and very helpful - Ms Toko , the trainee who assisted us at check-in and check-out is superb in her work and demeanor , we are most thankful ! The room was reasonably clean and comfortable —
no-smoking room/floor means absolutely no-smoking , unlike many other japanese/chinese places. Breakfast was great with many delicacies blending western and japanese choices . Location on top of a centralized train station but we don’t feel any disturbances ; there is a direct rail to the KIX Airport , and we are in the middle of everything Osaka has to offer - great restaurants , shops , department stores, movies/shows, sightseeing places …etc. We-Thai couple have stayed here many times since 30+ years , and will hopefully return again ; this is one of the best hotels in Osaka !!!

What could be improved: BF Room is crowded , felt uncomfortable at 0800h ; and the coffee machines are too sophisticated , creating long wait-lines , while yielding substandard products ! The Hotel is quite old , the room may need refurbishment/remodeling - although still very comfortable. Oh, the rate is on a high side , but just worth the stay !!

Good housekeeping and 36th floor bar with great views.

What could be improved: Their top Japanese restaurant was a dud. It was deserted and we were hassled out at 8:25 pm!

Modern clean, and staff were awesome

Silev from Ireland (6 March 2025)

Food was excellent on 36th floor and the view is breathtaking. The staff very friendly and helpful.

What could be improved: The hotel overall looks a bit tired. It's most evident in the room and at the restaurant on 36th floor. The tables are worn out.

Breakfast was amazing.

What could be improved: The bar was closed for Salsa Night. The hotel had a 'cruise ship' vibe going on. That's not a bad thing, but it just isn't my thing.

The hotel is in a great location, featuring a well-designed room. However, the shower over the bath can be a bit challenging to use. The room itself is comfortable and quiet.

Access to train lines is excellent, as the hotel is situated above one station and next to another. Getting to the Dotonbori area is easy, and there are many other attractions within walking distance to explore.

What could be improved: The staff were unhelpful, and understanding the hotel's facilities was challenging. They asked us to scan a QR code that directed us to a webpage filled with unclear options. Even accessing room service was difficult.
