Best Hotels near San-no-maru of Osaka Castle in Toyotomi Period, Osaka

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 😚

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.

The language and demeanor of the front desk staff was polite and made me feel comfortable. The room was also well-cleaned. There was a convenience store and a coin laundry on the first floor, which was convenient. There was a limited number of parking spaces, so I called to confirm before making a reservation. (1100 yen per night ) You can borrow bicycles for free, so I thought I'd like to go cycling next time I stay 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.

We loved the location of this hotel as we were surrounded by metro line choices and proximity to both Osaka and Shin-Osaka train station (2 and 4 stops away respectively). It matched up with our itinerary as we made Osaka our base for exploring and went to Universal Studios, Kyoto and Nara for day trips and it all seemed relatively convenient from here. When we arrived our room was ready and they allowed us to check in 30 minutes early. The hotel has some extra toiletries in the lobby but the room was pretty well equipped. The lobby area also has a restaurant that serves both an affordable ramen dinner and a buffet breakfast. The breakfast is absolutely worth it here and if you don't book it with your stay, it is a steal at 1200 yen per adult. The breakfast has a good combination of gyoza dumplings, chicken dishes, tempura, Japanese soups and a salad station. The lobby restaurant also has a refreshment station where you can get coffee, water, green tea or pop 24/7. The room was very comfy and quiet and was a little bit bigger than most rooms we stayed in. We got a good night's rest here and felt ready to explore each day. The bathroom was a bit small and my head was nearly hitting the ceiling in the shower but great pressure and easily adjustable temperature. The toiletries provided were good quality too. The room had a kettle, mini fridge, large TV, an air purifier and a work station. The hotel is very close to Dotonbori area but far enough away that it is quiet. The whole area outside is a little messy with many tourists leaving their garbage wherever. We were here during the Japanese New Year celebrations so many restaurants were closed but there were still plenty of options nearby.

This is not the first time we stay at Karaksa joint. After our previous stay at Karaksa Saporro, we decided to try in Osaka. If you take exit 4 from Shin-Osaka Station, you can take a 3 minute walk to Karaksa Shin Osaka Tower Hotel. Reception is at 2nd floor, it was quick service and easy. We reserved 2 bed and 3 bed , total of 2 rooms connecting. It was convenient for party of 5 travelers. The amenities including electric converter was provided in the room. What we like about Karaksa is the bed, bathroom, and room is very confortable. English translated system on TV, AC and Laundry as well. 4 laundry machines with coins in located at 4th floor. Very convenient. During the rainy days, towels are provided at the entrance for free. You can also monitor the status of the laundry machine as well. What a service, we love it We love staying at this hotel, definitely recomended for family stay.

I really love this hotel due hotel room rate is so reasonable n cheap, much better than other hostel or nearby hotel. Quite close to the shopping area 心齋橋, not too far away from Namba station. Room is not very big, but quite comfortable, clean and tidy

Very good location, just next to Esaka metro station, staff can speak English, there are water filling stations at every floor for drinking, clean and descent hotel, there are numerous shops for eating, shopping below. There are also super market.

The room was small but it was a comfortable stay for an individual. The proximity of the hotel from Shin-Osaka station is a big advantage. Room amenities are good. Breakfast is decent with japanese style cuisine. Staff cannot converse or understand English, hence it is very difficult to check for something with the help desk on the phone. I had booked a stay for two nights. The air conditioning was off for the entire second night. When the room got suffocating, I checked with the help desk. It is when they informed me that the air con has malfunctioned and will be available at 12 pm. They asked me to open the window for air. This was not an option as it's too noisy outside due to the proximity of the hotel from the train station and airport, and also there are no screens to the window to block bugs. The air con was available the next day at 9:30 when I was ready to check out.

Smallish room as expected of Japanese hotels, but the fantastic location right above the train station made up for it. Best location to travel to Usj, dotonbori and osaka aquarium. Didn’t opt for hotel breakfast as there are many combinis to buy food from.
