Hotels in Osaka Station/Umeda/Yodoyabashi/Hommachi, Osaka

Our initial triple room was incredibly cramped, but the double room we moved to later had a normal, comfortable amount of space. The hotel's location is absolutely superb; it makes getting around incredibly convenient. The hotel occupies floors nine and above, with a shopping mall and restaurants on the floors below (up to the eighth floor). Getting here is very straightforward: take the airport bus to Osaka Station, and it's just around the corner in the direction the bus was heading. The transportation links are truly excellent. Breakfast was plentiful and varied.

Hotel Granvia Osaka Vischio: Comfort and pleasant surprises by Osaka Castle I was completely won over by Hotel Granvia Osaka Vischio during my trip to Osaka! From check-in to check-out, every detail made me feel 'at home'. I especially recommend it to travelers who want to experience Osaka Castle thoroughly and enjoy convenient transportation. The location is its biggest highlight. It's only a 5-minute walk to JR Osakajokoen Station, and you can simply stroll through the park to reach Osaka Castle Tenshukaku. In the morning, you can even exercise in the park with the birds chirping, immersing yourself in Osaka's urban greenery. It's also just a 3-minute walk to Tanimachi Yonchome subway station, making it possible to reach shopping areas like Dotonbori, Shinsaibashi, and Umeda within 15 minutes by subway. This location perfectly balances avoiding the hustle and bustle of the city center while still offering convenient transportation. The room experience exceeded expectations. Even in space-constrained Osaka, the room layout was reasonable, without any feeling of being cramped. The refreshed facilities from 2022 are of high quality, with a smart toilet, HD TV, and branded toiletries all provided. The small sofa area by the window was my favorite spot; it was wonderfully relaxing to curl up there with a cup of tea in the evening, looking through photos taken during the day. The bedding had just the right fluffiness, ensuring a refreshing night's sleep before heading out to explore and eat. The soundproofing was also excellent; I couldn't hear any outside noise. The attentiveness of the service and dining was truly touching. The front desk staff spoke fluent English and proactively offered sightseeing maps of Osaka Castle and subway route guides. They also thoughtfully advised us to avoid peak crowd times at popular attractions. You absolutely must try the Japanese cuisine section at breakfast; the freshly made okonomiyaki was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and paired with delicious miso soup, it set the tone for an energetic day. The bread and coffee at the Western-style counter were also of high quality, with such a rich variety that you could try something different every day. Furthermore, the hotel's luggage storage and printing services are completely free, which is incredibly helpful for independent travelers. If you're looking for a hotel in Osaka that offers 'convenient transportation, comfortable stays, and warm service,' Hotel Granvia Osaka Vischio is definitely the perfect choice. I will certainly stay here again on my next visit to Osaka!

The hotel's front desk is located on the 9th floor, easily accessible by elevator from the Daimaru side (south exit) of the subway station. The service here was excellent, reminding me of the high standards I experienced in Japan a decade ago – a quality that's hard to find these days. Downstairs, there are abundant dining options, as there's a shopping mall on both the north and south sides of the station. On our second day, we went to USJ. Luckily, during the Expo, there was a direct subway line that took us there in just one stop, a mere ten-minute ride. Even normally, reaching USJ is very convenient; with just one transfer, the total subway journey only takes a little over ten minutes.

This hotel is fantastic! It's incredibly convenient, located just 10 meters from Yotsubashi Subway Station, right outside Exit 2. Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori are only 1.2 km away, so you can easily walk there to explore the area by night. Plus, there's a supermarket right next door, which is very affordable and handy for grabbing essentials. The hotel itself is spotlessly clean. While the rooms aren't huge, they are very well-equipped and even include a fridge, which is incredibly handy. On the second floor, there's a free hot and cold water dispenser, saving you from buying bottled water. They also have a microwave and an ice machine available for guests, which is super convenient for heating up meals or getting ice anytime. They also offer luggage storage, which is a thoughtful touch. I will definitely book this hotel again the next time I visit Osaka.

I booked this hotel primarily for its location. The actual route was much simpler than what Google Maps suggested; we followed a previous reviewer's advice: take the JR West Exit/Sakurabashi Exit, cross the road, walk past 7-Eleven, and it's straight ahead – no need for the convoluted route Google Maps suggested. It's also very convenient for the airport, with the bus terminal just a 5-minute walk away, saving you the hassle of lugging suitcases up and down stairs. However, Umeda Station is massive. While the hotel is right next to a subway entrance, some subway lines still require a good 10-15 minute walk to reach from their respective exits. Now for the downsides. Despite the great location, if you happen to get a street-facing room, you can still hear the JR train noise (even on the 12th floor, which isn't particularly low). Light sleepers beware. There was also some dust in the room, especially on the blinds. The bathroom was quite small. And, somewhat strangely, booking a triple room for two people ended up being cheaper than a double room. Furthermore, bottled water isn't provided in the rooms; instead, there's a water dispenser and ice machine in the hallway on each floor, so you need to bring your own bottle to fill up. Overall, it's acceptable for a one-night stay, and the breakfast was decent. However, if the price is too high, it definitely isn't worth the cost.

The rooms are compact but modern, very clean, and well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location is convenient, close to public transport, shops, and restaurants, making it easy to explore the city. The staff were polite and helpful, adding to the overall positive experience. A good choice for travelers looking for comfort and value in Osaka.

The hotel boasts a fantastic central location, nestled between Midosuji Avenue and Shinsaibashi shopping street, making getting around incredibly convenient. Access to the Midosuji Line is superb; you can quickly reach Umeda and connect to various other destinations. Check-in was a breeze, with Chinese-speaking staff at the front desk who clearly and thoroughly explained all the necessary details. Our triple room was impressively spacious, easily accommodating two large suitcases opened simultaneously. The overall room environment and cleanliness were of an excellent, above-average standard. It was remarkably quiet and featured excellent blackout curtains, so much so that I accidentally slept in until 10 AM one day! Being on a high floor, our room offered a truly beautiful night view. Definitely a highly recommended option if you're looking to stay near Shinsaibashi.

A nice and clean hotel in a reasonable location. It can be noisy due to the adjacent major road, especially when noisy motor bikes and sports cars drive past making a terrible noise. Rooms are adequate in size for one, but the twin bedded rooms are a little bigger. The hotel is clean and comfortable. The staff are friendly and polite. Lift access is a bit unusual as one needs to catch an ascending separate lift to reach reception on the 16th floor, and then another descending separate lift to reach your room on levels 15 and below. Overall a nice hotel. Thank you.

Extremely clean and quite spacious. I love Japanese bathrooms; they're small but very well-designed, making for a comfortable shower experience. Highly recommend! I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time I'm in Osaka. The subway station is right out front, which is super convenient!

I hadn't come across this hotel during my initial research back home. It was a last-minute booking for a two-day stay in Umeda, and to my surprise, I was incredibly satisfied. I had booked a standard twin room, but to our delight, we were upgraded to a triple upon check-in. With my 9-year-old, having three beds was perfect, ensuring everyone got a good night's sleep. The hotel's location is also excellent and easy to navigate. Although it's a short distance from JR and other train lines, you can easily enter an underground passage just outside the hotel. This means you're protected from rain and sun, and within minutes, you can reach major department stores like Hankyu, Hanshin, Daimaru, and Yodobashi Camera. A major plus is the Kansai Airport limousine bus stop, located extremely close to the hotel. Buses are frequent, rarely crowded, and provide a comfortable and efficient journey. The hotel offers complimentary drinks all day. In the afternoons, they serve afternoon tea and alcoholic beverages, and in the evenings, even rice and pickled side dishes are available. On the top floor, there's also a hot spring bath (onsen). My only regret is forgetting to take photos! If I had, Picture 1 would feature the complimentary late-night snack, Picture 2 the afternoon drinks, and Picture 3 the nearby Hanshin Department Store. I genuinely regret not having booked my entire stay here. Highly recommended!
