10/10 Excellent
"We’ve stayed here a few times and always enjoy it. The location is good, very close to Shin-Osaka station, the staff are always helpful, everything is clean and we like the big communal baths and sauna. Depending on which room you go for, the views of Osaka city are great too"

"The room was spotless & had all of the toiletries we'd need for our week. Plus they offered more at the front desk for free. We paid extra for the breakfast and I'm glad we did, some days we only had time to stop by and grab some juice and a pastry. The room was spacious and the bed was as well. The spa was the best part! Overall for the price & area because everything was close enough to walk or get on the subway/train we enjoyed our stay!"

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is beautiful!! I loved the attention to detail with how items were laid out and hidden in plain site. We were also able to move the beds to make the room better for our needs. We found the room spacious and the beds were comfortable. The view of the city, from our room on the 29th floor, was amazing. The spa was magical. You are provided water, fridge, slippers, pj's,body scrub and great quality shampoos, conditioner and lotion. The room has an open concept plan where you can block the visibility into the shower. My one complaint is the shower is only blocked on one side and you enter the room via the closet/bathroom, leaving the shower/person exposed. I would definitely book this hotel again. Just be mindful of bathroom limitations regarding who you travel with."
