Osaka Kita Ward 3-star Hotels

Good breakfast Selections with good services and amenities. Convenient to places I want especially Osaka/Umeda Station.

○ not good ○ good point - there is nothing shortage except the following ”not good”. - ”Cleanliness” and ”satisfaction of breakfast” This is the highest priority in hotel selection, but this point is very satisfying. - It is new enough to smell building materials, but it is still praised for the room without dust and the bathroom without cloudy. - Breakfast is quite rich in variety. The taste is good. Dinner was late and I was not very hungry, but I just overeat it. - In addition to side dishes and salad, I had curry and pork bone ramen. I want to stay overnight. - Sweets are rich and coffee is especially delicious. - The atmosphere of the restaurant is good, and the staff 々 was also very concerned and I was able to eat comfortably. ○ Not good point - I wanted a hand soap. - The room is quite small. - There is no security box or WiFi explanation anywhere. - The breakfast scrambled eggs are too hot. ○ General Theory There is no luxury like a big hotel, but I was able to make it sufficiently and spend it comfortably. The location is good, so if you keep this, you will stay at the lodging.

It is located within walking distance from JR Osaka station and can be accessed through the underground shop street, so accessing the hotel in rainy weather is not a problem at all. The staff can speak English well. The breakfast is perfect and worth the price with Costa coffee. The room is not quite large but sufficient for stay.

It's very close to Sanban Street, so it's very convenient to eat. It's also within walking distance of the New Hankyu Hotel from the airport bus. When you exit the hotel, turn left and you will find a 7-11 convenience store that offers tax refunds. Turn right and you will find a Lawson convenience store. There is also a 24-hour McDonald's across the street, so you don't have to worry about going hungry at night🤣

The lobby service is good. We were preparing to go from Osaka to Kyoto, but the traffic information in Google Navigation was quite confusing, and the lobby couldn't provide immediate answers, so we ordered us to have breakfast first and she helped with the search. After coming back, explain patiently and write it down on paper in advance. The breakfast is cost-effective and tastes good, including delicious frozen lychees. The price of the hotel is more suitable in the Umeda area. Because it was difficult to book a hotel when it was fully booked, I stayed elsewhere for two nights and moved here.

The hotel is very modern and the staff speak English (it seems to be a lie but it is hard for someone to speak English in this country). This is great because we visit other places from here. The room has a standard size, is clean, the bathroom is comfortable and is modern. It has tea and coffee in the entrance for guests (caffee is horrible, type infusion, but the infusion is good). As close to the station, it has all kinds of services around: shops, restaurants, karaokes...

We stayed here a few years ago and they continue to offer smallish, clean and quiet rooms served up by a patient and attentive staff at an affordable rate. The rooms are small but was more than made up for by the great location near subway stops, the train station and multiple shopping/dining areas within a short walk. We stayed her four nights and had the buffet breakfast each morning for around $7.50. The buffet had many items to choose from, including a fresh salad bar, omelets, bacon, pancakes with jam, croissants, Japanese fare such as picked veggies, seared fish, rice, miso soup, coffee and juice.

Location, size, price, etc. are perfect. In particular, the amenities are abundant and very satisfying. The shower was also a miracle shower, and the hospitality was substantial.

I used it for about a week from the end of March. Because it was under such a situation, I was very sorry, and I asked for a little bit of self-help about the cleaning of the room, but the front desk was not particularly able to explain anything I accepted it (there is a hygiene relationship, so I wanted to clean it once a day even if I stayed for three nights). I thought that I was really clever about other things. Especially the small staff at the front desk was very good impression! If you have another chance, I will use it!

Where do I begin with the problems? This may seem centrally located, but it is still quite a hike from Osaka Station, especially with bags. As other travelers have noted, the entrance is fairly well hidden, we got lucky and walked in the right door and figured out where to go the first time, but that was just dumb luck. The area was the most seedy place I have been anywhere in Japan. There was trash on the streets, and loud fights going on practically everywhere. Had to push our way past the drunks on the way in and the way out. Staff took FOREVER to do check in and couldn't seem to find our reservation and yes, then it cost a bit more for no appreciable reason. Luggage storage area simply a roped off area in the tiny check in room (anybody could make off with your luggage and nobody would know the difference). We asked for two keys because there were two of us and got major static, but eventually our two keys. Elevator up to our floor claustrophobic beyond belief - could barely fit the two of us and our luggage. The room was small and cramped. All the advertised amenities were there, but in miniature. The walls are done up in 1970s dark paneling, so lighting is a major issue. Also had to hunt around to find the electrical outlets to charge our phone/tablets. Bathroom was decent sized, but the faucet sounded like a 747 taking off every time we used it. EVERY time we left our room, we were stopped by hall staff demanding to know who we were and where we were going. Nobody tells you that the rooms are right next to a busy freeway overpass, so you have cars and trucks going by all day and night. Then in the morning you are treated to the sights and sounds of guys pouring their drunken girlfriends into taxis right out in front of the hotel. And yes, there are the police and ambulances constantly moving around 24/7. Then the breakfast is an adventure. We bought tickets, but as there are no signs we sat down at one of the tables and were almost assaulted by the dining room lady who DEMANDED our tickets. After getting over our sheer embarrassment from that we went to the ”buffet” that was limited at best, with most things running out almost immediately. It was a struggle to find something to eat in any sufficient quantity to start your day. Protein offerings ran out FAST, even in the very early hours. If you want an adventure in lodging, this is the place for you. If you want someplace that is relatively friendly, has some customer service, is not overrun by rude staff and drunks, go somewhere....anywhere....else.
