Hotels near Osaka International Convention Center (Grand Cube Osaka) in Osaka

I went to the concert in Grand Cube Osaka so I stayed for two nights on Monday 〜 Wednesday. It was the first time that such a close hotel from the concert hall was very easy. However, Nakanoshima itself is a little far from the city such as Osaka and Nanba, and the subway and JR access are not good. If you stay as a base for sightseeing in Osaka, I recommend a hotel a little closer to the city or along a good access route. First of all, the price is the special mention. I can't believe it because I usually use a hotel in Kanto for about 10000 yen in twin 2 nights and 3 days even on weekdays. Check out is 10 o'clock, but you can check out late (1 hour 1000 yen per person). I extended it until 12 o'clock and added 4000 yen. The check-in was smooth by checking and disinfecting at the front desk. During my stay, the staff was polite and good. There are paper cups, instant coffee, slippers, etc. beside the front desk. The ladies' set was only cotton and cotton swab, so you should have makeup, makeup water, emulsion, etc. (the above makeup drop was written in the present and elevator in the word of mouth posting of other travel sites. I would be happy to prepare it in defo If you are put on the room rate, you may not be able to do it. There is a microwave oven in the back of the lobby at the entrance, so I could warm the meal I took back and I was able to stay in the room. I don't think it's troublesome to shop because there are seven eleven open until 23 o'clock next to the front desk. (There was also a 7-Eleven 24-hour laundry nearby) There is a laundry on the first basement floor, two drum washing dryers and 3kg 500 yen (2 hours). However, it will be closed at 22:30, so I recommend early time if you are used. In my case, I asked the front desk around 21 o'clock and extended it to too much 24 o'clock. I stayed in twin so it became a spacious corner room with 4 rooms on the 7th floor. The key is not a card key only by 1 books. As a particular good point, the hardness of the pillow and bed was perfect for my taste. I have been hit by a hotel that has a hard bed and pillow and is not very comfortable, but it was so soft and very sleepy here. I didn't expect the room facilities because there was no breakfast overnight, but the unit bus toilet is clean and hot water and shower come out at high temperature. The dryer was weak and I was fine with short hair, but my long wife was in trouble. It is no problem if you stay alone, but there is a problem that the toilet in the bath cannot be used if you stay with two people. Other hotels have toilets on the front floor, but they were not found in this hotel. The air conditioner is also effective, but the humidifier is essential because the room is very dry. The humidifier is lent at the front desk, so let's borrow it without forgetting at check-in. The outlet was on the bed pillow side, the foot window and the desk, and the charging of the smartphone and mobile battery was not inconvenient. There is free Wi-Fi, but the radio wave strength is weak and often cut off, and it was not a level that can be expected honestly. Only the dryer and Wi-Fi were now one, but overall it is very satisfying. If there is another event in the Grand Cube, it was a good hotel that I would like to use.

Great location and comfy room for one person. Everything that I needed for 3 days stay in Osaka. The only thing I found a bit odd was that room had only 2 eletrical outlets so I had to charge my phone close to myself and my watch in the bathroom. Because I needed my power bank and laptop as well I had them to charge later on when I would leave hotel. Breakfast was nice , here are some pictures so you can check it.

[2021/4/25 OPEN] [Morning] Smile Grand Open Memorial Plan Using the above plan, I stayed at ”Smile Hotel Osaka Nakanoshima” on April 25, 2021. With the announcement of the emergency declaration, there was a call for breakfast suspension and a discount for the amount in advance. The hotel on the opening day was comfortable. The orchid flowers in the lobby are gorgeous and I love them. I enjoyed the scent of the roses in the nearby Nakanoshima rose garden. The town of Kita Shinchi visited at night was dark. I saw the news that Governor Koike called for ”neon erase” ★ neon erase the city is onene, kitashinchi

The hotel is simple but clean, we upgraded to a larger room on arrival which was easy and not expensive. The bathroom was nice and staff were friendly. Most importantly, it’s in a great location for getting to the main sights of Osaka (a couple of stops each way) and to the stations for day trips out of Osaka!

The facilities and facilities are new, there is a GOTO travel, and the accommodation fee is low, so I want to be highly appreciated, but it is the first time to use it, and it is very regrettable, and it cannot be highly appreciated. (There is a microwave oven in the room, but there is no shared ice dispenser, etc., unbalanced) This neighborhood is lined up properly, because the road is lined up vertically and horizontally, from the subway station, It took time to get there. I passed through the signal crossing immediately, and I could hardly see the signboard, so I passed. The signboard of TY Inn is flashy, so it enters the eye. I called the hotel and walked from the subway station and visited ”TY inn is nearby because I can see it” and asked, ”what store is it?” Just see the signboard, you can't know what store. Not far from ＴＹ inn, as if you can't read the air. This is low level!! I can evaluate that the signboard is not flashy, but on the other hand, there should be many such inquiries.Even if I finally arrive, I don't feel hospitality at all, and I don't feel good. I'm sorry for the dryness, but I need to reeducate my employees. This is a frank opinion.

Stayed for 2 nights in a twin room during Autumn. Good size comparing to many other hotels of this rate, enough space to open 2 suitcases at the same time. Love the location, easy to find the hotel from train station, it’s just above Daimaru and many excellent restaurants within 10 mins walk. It’s fabulous to get back to my room for a short break between shopping. Nothing is better than staying directly above the station for train travelers. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you.

The location is excellent, very close to the metro, many shops, and not far from the bustling namba. The room was functional and clean. There was a microwave downstairs to warm up food. And the view was actually really nice over Osaka. The room is really tiny. I stayed in two other similar hotels in Kyoto and Tokyo and this one was by far the smallest. Im not very big, so it was fine, but someone taller might find it difficult to fit 😅. I'd add a mug in the room but otherwise all the conveniences were there.

Exceptional service - the front desk helped me to arrange taxi to the airport and it was not easy because they were fully booked. The person tried many times and finally found a taxi for us, much to our relief. The front desk is trained to ask all the right questions, staying calm. They also helped to receive my transferred luggage from another hotel. All timely and accurately. It deserved a 6 star for such exceptional service. The hotel ambience has a calming effect as it is dark but lighted on the areas that you need to see. We have no problem even though some people commented on it. Great location Room size is comfortable and considered a fair size, in fact, slightly larger and well planned. Breakfast has a good spread. Think it is great to open at 6.30 am as it gives maximum time to have an early start. Highly recommended for couple and families.

I stayed at this hotel for the first time in Osaka 10 years ago because it has the only natural hot spring in Osaka, and every time I travel or travel this is the only choice in Osaka. Because of the mask, I didn't come for 4 years. The Westin arranged for this business trip did not live but chose here again. The hotel has been renovated, the total number of rooms has increased, but the room has become smaller. The hot spring original male soup and female soup did not have a large and small pool to be exchanged, and now it is not exchanged. I asked and said that it is still male Binduo. The head rope comb originally prepared in Tangchi has now been changed to the elevator in the hotel lobby. Self-service drinks are now more varied. In short, it's not bad. Mainly I like 💕 myself.

The location is unbeatable, multiple convenience stores around, 7-10min walk to Dotonburi and various stations, lots of restaurants and quiet streets at night time. The hotel also has a cafeteria with free tea, water, melon soda, coca cola and other refreshments that are available 24/7. The room itself is simple but very comfortable and has everything you could need. Rooms are cleaned daily and amenities replenished too, even if you opt out of cleaning by sticking a ”Do not clean” magnet on the door, they then put everything in a bag and hang it on the handle. The staff is mostly professional, speak decent English and the check-in/out process was easy. Where it loses points is due to the following: On one of our big days out exploring, we came back to the hotel at around 8PM. The Front Lobby was filled with a big and disorganised Chinese group/family of 12-16 people who were scattered throughout the lobby. They did not all have a hotel key card, I know this because there was an employee by the escalator using his key on the elevator to send up them to their rooms. So my girlfriend and I got our keys out, got to the front of the other elevator and showed our cards as a way of gesturing if we could go up. The employee rejected us and we got the idea that we had to wait. Now I don't know about you, but I don't see why I need to wait for something that isn't my problem. Their lobby was littered and the tourists were being loud and screaming at eachother from across the room. We were not going to wait. Line them up in front of one elevator and use the other one for people who are entering and exiting, and if no one is entering and exiting, then let them use both elevators. Such unprofessionalism. We decided to leave and go for a walk and kill time at the local convienience store, but it definitely ruined our day and experience with the hotel. Another reason is I asked if they could make a restaurant reservation on my behalf, the bird cafe that I wanted to go to had a registration and booking process that was not friendly for tourists. It required me to write my Japanese Name for some reason, as well as phone number. The hotel said they could not make such reservations for me. I ended up walking in and was lucky it was a weekday and it wasn't as packed. Also be sure to check how many adults is listed on the room you plan to book, I didn't check properly and mine said 1 Adult, even though it fits 2 and the amenities were stocked for 2, this mistake of mine cost me 14,000yen (2000yen a day) because I had my girlfriend with me.
