Hotels in Osaka Station/Umeda, Osaka

Great location, superb hotel. Highlight being the rooftop onsen with a beautiful view of the city. Unfortunately I had an overcast day but I can imagine the beauty of dusk on a clear day. Stylish and clean rooms with superb bathrooms and bed. The restaurant buffet was also great. Great selection of food and drinks

Thank you for hospitality. My trip went super smoothly. I felt welcome from the start. As I stayed at this hotel chain previously at Tokyo, this is of the same standard. Rest assure. We used the hotel rooftop onsen and enjoyed the variety of facility they have offered (high standard of hygiene). My room was clean and spacious. Hotel breakfast is enoyable Japanese style. Thank you so much again!

A very nice hotel with friendly staff. They kept to our every need and made the stay really amazing. The coffee machine was a bonus, we had fresh coffee of choice every day.

We loved this location so much! 7/11 right underneath, family mart around the corner - we went to 7/11 every morning and night, haha! It is a really nice area to walk around in at night! There is a beautiful bridge over the river. The Yodoyabashi subway station (at exit/entrance 19) is a 45 second walk from the hotel. They clean the rooms everyday unless you put the do not disturb magnet up! (The ONE thing we want to note about this hotel is that the rooms seemingly have very little airflow or capacity for hang drying clothes.)

This hotel is super good! It's only about 50 meters from Yodoyabashi subway station. It's not tucked away in an alley, but it's still very quiet. There's a FamilyMart convenience store about 100 meters away and a 7-Eleven about 200 meters away. You can also find plenty of great food options within a 10-minute walk. I stayed in a 25-square-meter room, which was a perfect size, and the bedding was excellent and very comfortable. They offer complimentary toiletries in the lobby, and check-in is self-service. The front desk staff are also very nice. Overall, I highly recommend it! My first visit to Osaka was very satisfying thanks to this stay!

It's a great hotel, location is in the business district so a little bit further from central Osaka (Dotonbori etc) if that's where you'd prefer to be. The onsen is great, as long as you follow the rules it's really relaxing and the amenities are fabulous. Room was great, a really good size for Japanese standards, complete with complimentary waters everyday. It's quite a dark hotel so if that's not your vibe then I wouldn't stay here but we really enjoyed it.

I stayed in a single room for four days, specifically looking for a hotel with a hot spring as my last stop in Japan, hoping for convenient departure. * My travel plan was centered around Osaka. Besides Osaka Castle, there weren't many major attractions; most of it was shopping. Here's my experience based on that. Location: The淀屋橋 (Yodoyabashi) area is a bit subtle. While it connects north to Umeda and Shin-Osaka and south to Shinsaibashi and Namba, it's a bit far from the station. Navigating the station with luggage isn't very convenient, and it's a bit of a detour. The walk from the station to the accommodation is also a little distance, which isn't ideal with luggage. Cleanliness: For a single room, I was a little disappointed with the cleanliness. I have allergies, so the dust on the curtains was noticeable. Some high-intensity lights even illuminated dust motes, suggesting it wasn't thoroughly cleaned. There was also something resembling an ashtray next to me that looked like it still had some gray-white ash in it. Service: There's not much to say about the staff; they were simply well-trained. The only thing to note is that amenities like pillows need to be self-served. Generally, you won't need the front desk much unless you have a specific issue. * Be aware that trash is collected only once every four days, so it might overflow if you're unlucky. Facilities: I'm quite dissatisfied with the facilities. To put it simply, this hotel is essentially a business hotel – it's livable, basically clean, and not overly particular. Firstly, the cleanliness is as I described above. As for the hot spring, it's just one pool, not well-ventilated, and the windows are covered. I'd rather go to a public bathhouse (sento) like Naniwa or Soraniwa Onsen for a more enjoyable experience and then return. My personal recommendation is for business travelers who absolutely need a hot spring to relax; for them, I'd say it's an option. Also, there's a water dispenser in the hot spring changing room. At first, I thought that was good, at least I'd have cold water after bathing. However, you have to specifically go into the bathhouse just for plain drinking water, and it's separate from the ice machine. So, you must go into the changing room to get water. The washing machines are about 100 yen more expensive than other hotels. While they support electronic payments, my attempt to use Alipay unexpectedly failed. As for breakfast, perhaps I woke up too late, around 9 AM, and it was mostly leftovers. It didn't seem like they replenished the food much. I wouldn't recommend eating breakfast here. Overall, as I mentioned, it's positioned more as a business hotel. The rooms have amenities like internet cables for laptops and such. But for leisure travel, I can only say it's livable, though for this price, I would expect a better experience.

The main advantage of Sotetsu Hotels is the price. The facilities are very complete, with basic cosmetics like makeup remover and moisturizer available for self-service, and there's also a microwave. The room is indeed small, you can't fully open a 28-inch suitcase, but it's not too cramped for one person, and the space is quite well-arranged. For some reason, it was a bit noisy at night, so if you're a light sleeper, you might want to reconsider.

The location is super convenient for shopping around Umeda, which saved me a lot of time. The hotel's large public bath is great for unwinding after a long day of travel, though I wish the operating hours were longer. It gets really crowded, especially since they stop letting people in after 11:30 PM. It would be much more flexible if they could extend it by an hour. Oh, and there's an amazing BBQ restaurant, Market Kitchen, on B1 of Umeda Lucua 1000 where you can pick your own meat to grill – such a good deal! I was really happy staying in this area. All in all, I highly recommend this hotel.
