Hotels Near Nishinomaru Partition Gate (Osaka Castle) in Osaka

I stayed at an APA hotel the day before, and this hotel the next day. The location is right next to Tanimachi 4-chome Station Exit 4, so it was easy to find. The next morning, I was able to get a one-coin breakfast within walking distance, so I felt that there were plenty of restaurants. (There are 5-6 cafes, and some chain restaurants.) I left my luggage at the front desk, and when I tried to check in at night, I was told that my luggage had already been brought to my room, which was a nice touch. The front desk is also clean. However, the room was quite different from the photos on this site (Trip.com), and it felt quite old. The key was not a card type, but an old-fashioned ”key.” There were not many outlets, so it was quite difficult for two people to charge their smartphones and SLR cameras, use the hair dryer, and use the kettle. I also felt that it would be nice if they had amenities such as lotion and milk. There was a robe (pajamas) in the room, but it was in a place where you couldn't find it unless you looked for it, so I thought it would have been more considerate if they had placed it on the bed. Also, when I knocked over a chair in the room, I noticed that the side of the chair was covered in dust... My hands got covered in dust when I tried to stand up the chair that had fallen over... It's good that there is an ice machine, but it would be more helpful if they had one on each floor, like the nearby Hotel Lutheran. If that's not possible, I think it would be nice if they at least provided mineral water bottles or a water server. (The hotel I stayed at the night before served welcome drinks until 5am and had all-you-can-drink tea, so it was very helpful for refilling my water bottle after taking a bath or right after waking up.) It would have been more helpful if the hanger rack was made into a hook type so that I could hang not only hangers but also hats. It was inconvenient because I couldn't hang hats or backpacks, and it was a little inconvenient because it was right at the entrance...

It was great value for money, and the location's perfect. But we weren't expecting the level of smoke scent in the room, i know that we booked a smoking room, nonetheless, it was ok. the staff was ok, the check-in and check-out were automated so there's that.

Perfecf for family. The unit is so homey. Feels like your at home. Complete amenities and I love that there is a washing machine that you could use for free. There is also a coin machine in the lobby which is very convenient for the travelers. The location is not bad, it’s a 5 min walk from the nearest station. There’s a nearby 7/11 and Family Mart. Everything is perfect. I will definitely go back here.

Hotel repeater. I forgot about Christmas ⛄️🎄✨, so I booked a room on the south side for the first time in a long time. Short stay for two days and one night from December 25, 2022. Thanks to Chinese tourists who brought home others' things, there are only the minimum items necessary. The next day, I had a mysterious experience just before I woke up. A man wearing an eboshi that gently hides me says, ”Don't open your eyes yet. You will be taken away.” After awakening, I gradually woke up at ８ 30 minutes. Breakfast was ordered at ９ 30 minutes, but I was able to get it as usual. It was a treat. Thank you for the university potatoes lined up on the table 😚

It only takes ten minutes to walk south from the Mori-nomiya train/subway station. Traveling is very convenient. Osaka Castle Park is nearby. The appearance of the hotel is quite new. There are several sets of tables and chairs in a large area opposite the front desk on the first floor, which makes it feel comfortable. Although the room is not big, it has enough space. It is clean and tidy. Although it is small, it is fully equipped with TV, WiFi, small refrigerator, hair dryer, hot water bottle and tea. There is a self-service washing machine on the first floor and a convenience store is next door. . Nice little hotel👍👍

This hotel is not bad and also looks new. The downside is they don’t have laundromat. However there is a l laundry shop nearby  Even though the front desk doesn’t really speak English, but they are really nice with the positive attitude unlike the Via Inn hotel near shinsaibashi I will come again next time. 

Simple no frills hotel, good if you are just looking for a hotel to have a rest after long day out. Have all the basic amenities you will need such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, foam wash, towels, toothbrush, comb, etc. You can borrow umbrella from the hotel if the day is raining. There are also washer and vending machine within the hotel. Location is walking distance away from dotonbori and the nearby subway.

Location is great, service was good and breakfast was the best. It was near the famous Glico man. It is also within walking distance to Parco and other great stores. ABC Mart, Uniqlo, Atmos are near. As to food trips, there are a lot of ramen places around. Namba Station is about 1 kilometer away, which can be easily be walked even with luggages, where you can board the Nankai Line to Kansai Airport. Yes, the airport is just a train ride away, no need to hire expensive private transfers.

Sotetsu Grand Fresa Osaka Namba offered a phenomenal location along with beyond satisfactory amenities. To start, I must mention that the room was more spacious than some of the other hotels I have been to. The bathroom was clean and well furnished and I had no trouble controlling the temperature in the room or the shower. In addition, their breakfast, served buffet style, was rather satisfactory. Primarily, the buffet was split into two broad categories of ”Western” and Japanese cuisine. The Japanese side offered classics such as udon, rice, miso soup, and tofu, while the ”Western” side offered an assortment of breads, corn soup, and pancakes. I say Western with quotation marks as I would imagine most people from Europe or North America would consider the fares offered a far cry from that which they are familiar. Besides that, it is also worth noting that the buffet would cycle between multiple different options on a daily basis to prevent people staying multiple days from getting bored of consuming the same dishes daily. Other than the hotel's facilities, it is also important to draw attention to the location of the hotel. The hotel has a wide array of different restaurants to visit and is located close to both Dotonbori and the subway. This subway is rather convenient as it offers easy access to most areas of interest in Osaka. It is also imperative for me to mention here that there is a convenience store located basically next to the hotel which is, as the name would suggest, quite convenient. In addition, for those who are into anime, the hotel is walking distance fron Dendenmachi. Overall the experience was pleasant. The only issue if I had to say was that there was a high density of people in the hotels vicinity. This issue is further exacerbated on holidays, but this should only pose an issue to some people.

We arrived earlier than the check in time, and are able to drop off the luggages at the reception and come back later for check in for free. The staff can speak multiple languages, (Japanese, English, Chinese,etc) able to communicate without any problem. Room is very clean and cleaning service is provided each day. Location is close to Nanba. Very convenient. Close to a metro station as well, easy to locate. Would recommend.
