Osaka Garden Palace

- It is about 12-14 minutes on foot from Shin-Osaka Station, but there is a free shuttle bus from Exit 2 (North), so it is not a problem at all. - The staff are friendly and can communicate in English. - Towels, pajamas, trash cans, and water are replaced with new ones every day. (If you leave them in front of the door in the morning, they will hang them on the doorknob.) - The hotel interior, the rooms, and the hallways are all very quiet. I am really satisfied with that part, but there is a slight lack of soundproofing. (If a customer who walks powerfully is above my room, I will hear his footsteps.) (There was a person in the room next door who snored loudly. He snored so loudly that it sounded like an elephant, hippopotamus, or dinosaur was snoring, and I could hear him in my room.) I personally thought it was fine, but I am writing this down for those who are sensitive to noise. - The Wi-Fi in my room was weak. Still, it was generally uninterrupted and the speed was a bit slow, but it worked well. - It is good to have a bathtub, but it is a bit small, so it may be inconvenient. Once you get used to it, it's pretty good. - There's a laundry room, microwave, and ice place. - The room was okay for me to stay alone. I'll consider coming back next time I visit Osaka.

This is a hotel I am quite satisfied with during my trip to Japan. The check-in process at the front desk was quick and they were very helpful. They introduced where to eat breakfast and where to buy toiletries. The hotel shuttle is also very convenient.
