Huge and very comfortable and luxurious room.”

We found our way from ShinOsaka to the hotel via subway on the Midosuji Line and then got off at Nikatsu Station. Easy to find hotel and reception on 2nd floor. The Hotel Hanyu International was absolutely luxury for the price. Plenty of staff to greet you and make you feel very welcome and always exceptionally friendly but polite. We arrived early and couldn't check in until 2 pm which seems to be the normal at every Japanese hotel. No problems to leave bags and go sightseeing. On arrival back at the hotel we were escorted up to our luxurious room, shown how to connect to wifi, how to use TV, push button curtains and drapes etc. The extra pillows I requested at time of internet booking were waiting for us on arrival. Nothing was overlooked. The room on the 33 floor with a great view was spacious with two plush lounge chairs, desk and plenty of lighting and outlets to charge Ipad etc. Marble Bathroom is VERY big with both shower and bath with thick towels. The beds were comfortable (2doubles) however we found the pillows a bit too firm. Great surrounding area with 7/11 down nearby street, subway very close and easy to get around on the subway or JR line. We visited Osaka Castle which was OK. The castle and surrounding moat was impressive but the museum inside the castle wasn't as impressive. I would not hesitate to return to the Hotel Hankyu International as our stay was wonderful and a lovely hotel to return after a day of sightseeing. Loved this hotel.

Amazing high class hotel in central Osaka”

For the price that we paid, I was not expecting a luxury hotel. I felt like I was staying at a 4+ star hotel on a 3 star price. The hotel was fantastic and walking distance to Umeda and Osaka station. Perfect for side trips to Himeji, Kyoto and Nara. Food and shopping only steps away. So good to finish shopping and drop off bags at the hotel before going to dinner. Staff was excellent and surpass Japanese standards which are great to begin with. There was always someone waiting to press the elevator button for us. Small gesture but goes a long way. Also all rooms are on high floors so amazing and unobstructed view of Osaka. Room was very large compared to other Japanese hotels. TV was japanese channels only until i found out that video on demand was free including english movies. This is my new favourite hotel in Osaka and would definitely look forward to staying here again.

Fantastic hotel. One of the best I have ever stayed in. Highly recommend”

Hotel Hankyu International (not to be confused with sister property New Hankyu Hotel) is one of the nicest hotels we have ever stayed in. We have traveled extensively and this hotel is beautiful inside with VERY spacious rooms, especially for Japan. Marble and granite bathrooms with both tub and shower. Everything was immaculate and staff could not have been more helpful. They treat guests like royalty. The hotel has 4 restaurant choices and food was very good albeit a bit pricey (but not compared to other hotel foods). I would not hesitate to book this hotel. You will not be disappointed !!!

Room with very nice view”

The hotel was located close enough to walk from Umeda station. I followed the direction on the Hotel's website. The reception staff was very nice and the area was full with beautiful flower. I was traveling with my mother and the room was located on the high floor which has a view of river and bridges. The bed was big and the bathroom was very spacious. We didn't have breakfast there but used the basement restaurant area which was convenient. We were going to use a limousine bus to the airport and was told we were able to leave our bags to New Hankyu hotel which is close to the airport bus stop. The hotel rate was in a bit pricey side but it was worth the price and very nice.

Excellent”

Hotel Hankyu International has a good location, near Umeda, with plenty of food options nearby. The hotel itself was lovely and the room was very comfortable for our family of 5 (including 1 baby). Service was prompt and helpful. We enjoyed our stay!

Great location, nice facility and great staffs”

Hotel Hankyu International has excellent location, it is in the middle of one of a shopping area and nearby the train station. Travel there by bus from airport also not too difficult. Room and hotel facility is very good, matched with the price. Staffs are also friendly and have good attitude.

Great Big Room and Great Staff ”

It was our first time to travel with our 1.5 year old baby. We chose this hotel because of their big room. The staff were great. They responded quickly to email inquiries, more than accommodating in finding a way to prepare special food requests for my baby and were overall helpful. Few staff know how to speak English though, but usually there will be one that would be able to. Location is not as central, about 10 minutes walk from the station(s) which was quite tiring because we had to bring a lot of baby stuff with us. But if w/out a baby, then it is a convenient walk to Umeda,Shin-Osaka&Hankyu Stations. Main advantages of the hotel was the big room size, also the Bus that connects directly to Kansai Airport (but double check the schedule) and the view of the hotel was spectacular as the hotel is 20 floors above office building. There is also a Family Mart across the street, a Starbucks at ground level and about 10 different restaurants at the basement of the building.

Elegant hotel, friendly staff. ”

Stayed at the hotel for one night to attend a friend’s wedding there. It is a bit pricey but I think it’s well worth the money. The hotel itself looks dated but you can see that it is well maintained. The room was quite spacious by Japanese standards, so was the bathroom. The drapes and curtains in the room were power operated. In the room they even give you a “handy” smartphone on which you can access the internet, make domestic calls, and even international calls to a few countries, for free! The staff was very friendly, the porter who delivered our luggage’s to the room also gave us a very detailed explanation of all the features of the room. Highly recommended, I wouldn’t hesitate to book here if I were to visit Osaka again.

Exceptional”

Near but not directly connected to Hankyu Umeda Station, outdoor walking is needed. Staff was extremely friendly and polite. Spacious room, especially the bathroom when compared to other smaller hotels in Japan.

Staff were so kind”

Staff at the hotel were among the best we've ever met. They were kind and helpful, and very nice and always ready to help. Facilities actually are good, especially when we saw a small 'balcony' that we could take views of Osaka from high floors, and a very large bathroom with all supplies prepared. A little regret is that it's actually a little bit distant from the major JR stations (JR Osaka, Umeda etc); and we don't use CD players now, though there was one in our room.

Terrific”

The view in the hotel room is marvelous! I particularly love the set of sofa such that we can drink beer and enjoy the view at night at the same time. The room is clean, gorgeous and it is hard to believe to get such a spacious room at the price in Umeda. The service is great. The traffic is a bit confusing for people not familiar with the Umeda area. Overall, I will definitely recommend this hotel to my friends.

New, clean and spacious room ”

If you're looking for a hotel in Osaka that is central and yet not so busy, this hotel best suits your needs. It is located about 10 minutes walk from JR Osaka station and few minutes walk from shops and restaurants. Considering the room size of other hotels in Japan, the room here is very spacious, especially the bathroom, and with great view of the city too. Also, everything is new and spotless. The staff are helpful and kind. Our family had a wonderful time staying at the hotel and would definitely come back the next time we're back in Osaka.

One of the greatest hotel in Osaka, nice room, staff service is more than exceptional, recommend!”

One of the greatest hotel in Osaka. The hotel is quite dated but you will not feel it at all. Room is spacious and comfortable. Bath room is nicely decorated in white marble. Shower is powerful (not weak) and the tap fill the tub real quick. Electronically control drapes and curtain. Big LED TV. Amenities include facial skin care products (men/women) Location is great. Staff services are the greatest assets of this hotel. They are all exceptionally helpful. They treat all guests lole a VVIP. During my three nights of stay. As I am Gold member of IHG/SPG/HILTON/Marriott, when staying at InterCon/Conrad/st regis/marriott, I can do late check out sometimes as late as 4-5pm. But this hotel allow to stay only until 12:30pm otherwise extra charge will be applied. As I usually take 5:30pm flight I prefer to check out around 2pm... if I have no lunch appointment on the check out day I’ll stay at St Regis. As the staff are as helpful + late check out+ butler help with luggage packing.

Love it~”

Pretty large room for a Japanese Hotel with king size bed, sitting area with the city view and not forgetting a spacious toilet. Although the furnishing kind of outdated, but rooms are pretty well kept with air purifier, even though it is a smoking room. Very friendly and helpful hotel staffs. Plenty of food options surrounding the hotel and walking distance to Umeda\ Nakatsu Station. Pretty convenient if you do not have big luggage. We would definitely stay here again in future!

Excellent”

Everything was great with this hotel except for maybe the housekeeping person-in-charge. The rooms were clean, amenities were great and the hotel was just a stone throw away from the Osaka Station with hundreds of food and shopping options. Views from the room was magnificent ! Kinda disappointed though with the housekeeping team who barged into our room even before we had the chance to wear our shoes and leave the room. I understand that time is always pressing but to have housekeeping starting to throw the rubbish clean and pulling chairs & sheets before the guest even leave the room, i felt was unnecessary. I don't think having the guest to have to wear their shoes along the corridor is reflective of such a great hotel. Ended up we decided not to have housekeeping cleaning the room during my last 2 days.

Lower rates due to renovation work, so value is great. ”

Room is of really decent size. Bathroom is amazing. It’s about 8-10 mins walk from Umeda Station but we were fine with it. It might be a slight problem if you have huge luggages. No airport shuttle goes to them but we took a taxi from Shin-Osaka station and to the shuttle bus station, which was less than jpy 1000 each ride.

5 star experience that matches this 5 star hotel ”

My partner and I stayed here for two nights and felt from the moment we walked through the doors we were looked after. We were lucky enough to get a room on the 28th floor with amazing views of the city! The location was great, right in the middle of the happening parts of Osaka and easily only ten mins to Osaka station by foot. The staff are very friendly and helpful, we will be staying at this hotel and remembering it the next time we visit Osaka and recommend all the readers to try so too!

Excellent hotel”

We both stayed for 3 nights and we are extremely happy with the hotel service and facilities, nothing to complain. ideally located and you can reach every where via train, and the train station is about 5 minutes walk. Staff are very friendly and helpful. we were very impressed with the service. We both loves Osaka more than other cities. our stay at Tokyo did not turn well as much as Osaka. We highly recommend this hotel and the neighborhood. Enjoy

First in Osaka”

Excellent location in Osaka for F&B & shopping. Spacious room with a great view of Yodo River & Hankyu-Kobe/ Hankyu-Kyoto rail lines.

Beautiful Hotel for a great price!”

We loved this beautiful hotel! From the moment we entered the staff was so kind and courteous to us! They even left us a sweet gift to celebrate our honeymoon on our beds. We loved our time at the Hotel Hankyu!
