Hotels near Takashimaya (Osaka Store) in Osaka

I stayed here recently during my 5 days and 4 nights stay in Osaka and i had a great time. First and foremost, the location was superb! It’s accessible as it’s an interchange with so many different lines available. We took the nankai express train from Kansai internation airport to namba and its just around 3min walk to this hotel. Walking distance to dotonbori and the shopping district! The staff were so nice when we checked in and he was fluent in English! They also gave us free breakfast and i think they also upgraded us coz i booked the room without bathtub but we got a nice bathtub where u can soak your sore muscles after a full day of walk! The room spacious and its safe as aside from access card, it got 2 other secured lock as well. Btw, a family mart is just right outside the hotel as well and 3 other restaurants! So overall, i really enjoyed my stay here! So would highly recommend this hotel if you’re planning to visit osaka😊

Hotel is stone throw from two of the major POA, Kuroman market and Dotonbori, and Kintetsu-Nippombashi Station where one can escape the weather element anf shop till Osaka Namba station....The hotel has everything you need and the packet Kopi aka Coffee is good. The hotel provide free umbrella too in case there is rain

Located right above Nankai station. Lift brings you to the lobby on the 6th floor. So if you’re coming from KIX, all you need to do after getting off the train is take a lift 3 floors up. Walking distance to Dotonbori. Great views. Spacious and clean rooms. Only bad thing is their parking fees. 3300 Yen for a night (8 hours) felt like a rip off. Pls provide complementary parking or heavily discounted parking for your guests for a better stay experience. We were only charged 1000 Yen for 24hrs when we parked in a 5 star hotel in Tokyo.

Prime location. Located at Namba Station (Exit B21) with 2 way escalator. Came in from Kyoto and it was definitely easy to move the luggage on the escalators compared to carrying up the stairs. Nankai Railway also within a 6mins walk, also allow easy access to reach airport from hotel. Room is large for Japan's expectation. My family were quite shocked with the spacious room as our previous trips to Japan booked at the similar pricing only allow a portion of the room size. Breakfast is decent but 5 nights in, we got sick of the options. Only changes made to the mains (pasta/noodle). Others like takoyaki, is a staple since its japan. Hotel can get pretty crowded, so breakfast can queue up long line. Front desk is hard to communicate with, as per mentioned. I booked 4 rooms under my name for my group of 11 pax. In the noon when we reached from kyoto, the front desk lady (who speaks english) told us the bookings are confirmed but the rooms are not ready so we left our luggages with the hotel. We returned at night to 2 japanese guy whom speaks no english. When we tried to help after waiting for close to 15minutes, we were shush because they got confused of my booking (1 quad, 1 triple, 1 double, 1 twin room) Select Rooms

Choose this hotel because station Nankai Express to Kansai Airport is just right in front of hotel, which make dragging of large luggages was so convenient. Surrounding of hotels (like just next to hotels) has many foods like McD and others; as well as Takashimaya and other department stores at Namba station. Though room is small (Queen size bed) but luggage can be store under the bed. Complete toiletries (except no face mask like Hotel Sunroute Shinjuku) but they hv foot massager. Safety box not working for the room. Definable will stay here again.

Our priority was to get a affordable hotel near Namba station to have transport to the airport and also to be close to attractions such as Namba Parks,Ebisu Bashi-Suji Shopping Street, Shinsaibashi-suji Shopping Street in Dotombori, all this tour we have been able to do it on foot and following the instructions that with kindness and precision Takeshi gave us. The hotel has fulfilled our expectations, but the best has been its excellent treatment, make you feel at home with its friendlyness and attention. You have also had the great detail of preparing our coffee. Thank you very much and warm greetings. Enjoy Grampus Inn Osaka because: ¡LIVE ...es a TRIP!

My usual stay in Osaka due to its location. I actually booked the wrong hotel (Sotetsu Grand Fresca Namba) using my membership so do take note of it. Was grateful that the manager and staff help me out with the check in as we two girls were utterly worn out from the long lugging with heavy luggages More than 15 mins walk from Namba JR station which could be challenging as the road was uneven and tons for traffic lights. Highly recommended if you have luggages, to take the subway from Shin Osaka (a total breeze of about 5 mins with 1 crossing) instead of trying to save via JR pass like myself on 2 trips. #pennywisepoundfoolish We took a bigger double bed as my previous double bed was too small for two.

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.

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.

Good walk from Namba station, directly opposite Kuromon market. There was an issue with our booking upon check in but instead of helping us with it, the receptionist said to cancel and make a new booking - which makes zero sense to me at all. Receptionists can’t speak a lick of English and will converse with you back and forth through Google translate, so be prepared for a lot miscommunication. Room was alright, nothing great or amazing. It’s a thing in Japan to have such tiny rooms so we didn’t expect much. Basic amenities given, and if you need extra things like combs or shavers you can get them at the lobby. They said there was free coffee and donuts there 24/7 but every time we came down there was never any donuts lol. Receptionist also helped us to book a luggage delivery 👍🏼
