Find Ryokans in Osaka, Japan

Though located at Shinsaibashi, this hotel is a bit away from the Eki. It takes around 10 min walking which is acceptable for such a high-standard hotel. I've been to more than 10 hotels in Japan and this is the BEST I've had. Having a fabulous and modern look from outside, its interior design is new and good too. Room is BIG comparing to the general standard of Japan, very big indeed in terms of this price. The room has a spectacular inside looking with everything newly equipped and decorated, especially this hotel has just 3 year-history. Being a business hotel the staff speaks quite fluent English which adds point to the hotel. If I go to Osaka again I MUST choose this hotel again. I strongly recommend this hotel to you all.

We arrived at Shin-Osaka station from Tokyo via Shinkansen, The Hotel was just one stop away via JR (if I remember correctly). However, it took a while to find the hotel entrance. Upon checking in, the hotel staff gave us quite a large/long key - was expecting a key card, like most hotels - but this was a refreshing change. Stayed in a triple room and it was quite large by Japan standards. 32" LCD TV and electric kettle came standard -- coffee and tea was provided but you have to pay for it. Bathroom came with heated toilet seat and auto bidet (this is a plus for me). The view from our room on the 26th floor was simply fantastic, a laminated map describing the city skyline was great, could also make out the Osaka castle from it. Good view of the Daiwa House -- which has a LED signage with shows the current temperature and time. Shower was great, and fresh towels everyday -- I know this might sound un-enviromentally-friendly to some, but hey I need my fresh towel after coming back in the evening. All in all, this is a great hotel to stay in i.e central location, easy access to subway, albeit a bit dated but that's fine in my books. Enjoy.

It was our first time in Osaka & in Japan. Miss Kawahira made sure that we were treated well & that we had the best experience at Hotel Universal Port Vita. She personally wrote us a card to wish us a Happy 28th Wedding Anniversary. Miss Kawahira has excellent work ethics, is dedicated to her job and has a welcoming & caring personality. She went out of her way by providing us with clear instructions on how to get from Yokohama to Hotel Universal Port Vita by the Shinkansen train & then to Lake Biwa by the JR train. She recommended us to some areas of interest & even walked us to the pier to catch our boat ride to the Port of Osaka. I hope her manager will recognize Miss Kawahira for a job well done & make sure that she receives the employee of the month award for her outstanding service. Thank you, Hotel Universal Port Vita, for having such an exemplary employee work for you. Because of people like Miss Kawahira, we will stay at your hotel again. Mr. & Mrs. T. USA

Super easy from to/from KIX as u no need to worry about elevators when you carry the luggage. Just go to left side of Namba Nankai station main exit and cross intersection. You will see the Family Mart, Hotel lobby is on second floor. When go to Kyoto/Nara/Himeji/Kobe, suggest using subway to Shin-Osaka. Have to pay a bit (¥280) but It’s easier than use Osaka loop line. The exit of subway, you can use both exit 7 (nearest) and8. Hotel already provide the luggage weight scale at lobby, no need to bring you own portable one.

Fabulous service and amenities for a 3-star hotel. As a Hotelier myself, I was impressed at the generosity of items provided: availability of toiletries, variety of coffee & tea drinks, beautiful pajamas and bathroom products. Everything was taught of and planned for. Great location, outside the door is the subway, and the riverside access & Rose Garden, is a nice option to have to wander about. It was a superb choice for us, so we cancelled our last hotel prior to our flight back to U.S. and rebooked with Royal Park Osaka Canvass instead as we return from Kyoto.

Honestly, this could be the best hotel I have ever tried. - The price of this hotel is cheap while I actually did not expect they can provide such good services. Its setup does not look like a hostel. This hotel is exceptionally good based on the price. - The staff, in fact, not excellent in English, but they can communicate in basic English that the check-in was efficient without any problem. - The room, a bit small, however, it is typical in Japan. You will see they paid effort on some details, for instance, they provide cables for charging your phone while not many hotels do this. - The WiFi is wonderful, ~5MB/s which is fast enough. - The bed, comfortable and big, no problem at all. - If you requested not to clean the room, they will put a bag contains all materials for you at the door of your room. - The breakfast, the food is not as many as I read the comment online, but at least it is good enough for breakfast. I'll come back again if I go to Osaka.

I stayed 3 nights at this hotel at end of March 2019, and it was a new structure and everything was clean and functional. The amenities and facilities were very satisfactory. Location is among izakaya and other eateries, on Yodobashi side of Osaka-Umeda station, so it was quite lively. I really liked the firmness of bed, fluffy pillows and blanket... and the noise was minimal in my experience, so I could sleep very well (I'm a light sleeper). The room size is marginally bigger than similar hotels I stayed in Tokyo. There is an airport express bus stop only 5-10 minutes away, so going to Kansai airport with lots of luggage was not an issue. Will choose to stay here next time in Osaka.

This is a new hotel opened for about 4 months. Everything is new and great location. Easy access to Umeda / Osaka station plus lots of shopping malls. Friendly staff. Spacious room + bathroom (I usually find bathroom is rather small in Japan, but this one is good) There is an amenities bar available in the lobby (but I believe limited time per day) which I found it great for travelers. A free smartphone is provided (though I have no use to it) good gesture! A lovely cafe is attached, as well as a dining restaurant. Would definitely come back again.

We booked the hotel basically because of the central location and as it offered one of the Japanese hot springs within the hotel area for free. The rooms are a little small (guess that's normal for Japan) but super handy. All we needed was in place, even an universal charger for Ipad, Samsung etc. WIFI was for free and superfast, no annoying logon process at all. Me and my girlfriend felt very comfortable and relaxed in our room. The hotel itself is pretty new and located 10min walk from JR Namba station which is a good connection to the Airport. From the hotel just a 5 minute walk and you are in Dontoburi area with lots of restaurants and a little further a nice shopping street, offered all you might be interested. We have had an amazing weekend in Osaka and because we liked the Hotel so much decided to pay for a day longer (Japan doesn't know late check out)instead for further sightseeing, have a relaxing day until we have to take off for our night flight. We really just can recommend that place!

The location is almost perfect. It's only a few steps from the Universal City station, which is served by JR trains. It's a great place for people who have JR passes because the trips are fully covered. The only bit of a down side is that it's quite far from other interesting places in Osaka. The breakfast buffet is quite expensive (speaking personally), but there are a few restaurants and cafes like Tully's, Mos Burger, etc. nearby that open as early as 7 in the morning (or maybe even earlier). The rooms are wide and spacious; the biggest of all rooms I've stayed in anywhere in Japan. The beds are big and very comfortable. The bathrooms are also very spacious and clean. This is probably the best place I've stayed in, in Japan so far but only because I'm usually a budget traveler. I and my friends only booked this hotel because the price was heavily discounted. It does nevertheless thoroughly deserves its 4 star rating.

Japan is tough for hotels...they are very expensive and the rooms are usually TINY, especially in Tokyo and Kyoto. This hotel was different. It wasn't cheap, but it was much less expensive than the hotels we booked in other cities, but the room was GREAT. The bed was the most comfy we had all trip. The view was excellent. The AC worked great. The bed wasn't in a corner--two bedside tables! And the lighting was thoughtfully done and not harsh. Water pressure was not quite as good as the other hotels we stayed in. The location is in a hotel zone in the north of Osaka, near the main station. It was a decent location. There is a whole maze of underground pathways/shopping areas that lead you to the various stations nearby, so it was always fun walking through those to hit the metro or JR lines. We walked a LOT though. So if you're not into that, maybe stay more central or closer to a station. But it was raining in Osaka and we spent half the time underground which worked out great!

We stayed in the double room the first night and it was tiny even for japan standards. There was no space to put my luggage. The 2018 Osaka earthquake happened early next morning and we requested a lower floor room. This was a twin room and it was much better. The hotel will tell you to use the "wbfhommachi" wifi network but it was unstable and I found it much better to use the one in your room. There's a separate wifi network for each room. The password can be found in the TV (the TV has this function which lets you cast your phone to the TV. One of the instruction pages show the wifi password, it's not difficult to find). Google Chromecast works only if you use the wifi in your room. Hotel also provides a free smartphone with data in each room which you can take with you for google maps web browsing. Shinsaibashi is minutes walk away from the hotel and Hommachi subway is also nearby. Breakfast is one of the best I've had.

as a long time travelers to japan, this hotel by far the best i have stayed. the hotel is conveniently located within a short walking distance from 2 subway stations. the location could not be better. there is a 7-11 just across the street from the hotel, plus there are tons of good restaurants in the neighborhood. on one evening, i got to try okonomiyaki, which is just a few blocks away. since the hotel is located near osaka stock exchange, expect to see a lot of professionally dressed japanese men and women. the hotel is only one subway station away from umeda. in case you have a late night in umeda, cab fare wouldn't cost you too much. i stayed on the 5th floor. inside the room, it is nicely decorated. the hotel also provides you with pajamas, a pair of slipper and all other things we can all expect from japanese hotels. the bathroom is relatively big by japanese hotel standard. however, the bathtub is a bit too short. i am only 170cm tall, and i couldn't fit into the tub if i straighten my legs. i didn't try the food at the hotel, so i can't really say much about this. overall, this is a great hotel with a good value to your money. thanks to agoda, i got a really good rate.

I was in Osaka for 4 nights but had to split my stays because the price for this hotel spiked ridiculously high for Sat night. So I had spent Friday, Sunday and Monday here while I moved to a nearby hotel for Sat. The first night was great, I had expected the size of the room but was pleasantly surprised by the amenities and facilities in this hotel - onsen upstairs, rooftop bar etc. The hotel is also very safe as beyond 11pm you need to tap your key card to enter the hotel, till 5am. My Sat and Sun nights were amazing as my room was much larger than my room on Fri, but I paid less. And it was really comfortable. The only downside was the housekeeping missed some stuff from the previous occupant, so when I checked in there were 2 towels, a comb and some hair in the toilet. Otherwise, this place is great and I wouldn't mind going back if I'm in Osaka again.

Probably one of the best hotels I stayed in on my trip to Japan. The staff was extremely helpful, speak great english and had adapters at the front desk. The room was a good size and I got a good deal on the price. The hotel is about a 15 minute walk or one subway stop away from Osaka station, making it a little awkward to get to. I just walked, it really was not too far. There is a subway stop across the street as well.

I had never found such a fantastic hotel at this price rate(apprx 73$ for double room/day) in Japan until i found this hotel. The room was very very large, clean and well decorative. The facilities were well sealed and various. There was also an electronic massage chair and a big bathtub in my room. Besides, there were a lot of free and good movies on the TV menu which were well updated and categorized. And I found 2 joy sticks for Playstation but i had no time to study how to use and play with it. The breakfast was only 2$ when i selected add-on, and it came with high quality of food and beverages. I selected grilled salmon and beacon from 6 choices of the food and beverage menus (which i could change it everyday). The receptionists were friendly polite and service minded as Japanese standard. I found nothing i dislike in this hotel. But there is an only thing (which cannot be changed) is the location of the hotel, i think it is a little bit far from the Juso station and takes a lot of time to change the line between the rail station and underground. I needed to walk 10 mins to the Juso station, takes 10 mins to the Osaka station and 10 mins walk to the underground station. Anyway, i love the hotel and i will recommend it to you and my friends. If i visit Osaka next time, i will definately stay in this hotel again.

For a solo traveler with limited budget, this hotel is a nice stay. The room is small, which is quite common for hotels in Japan but the best thing is this hotel's strategic venue. It is just minutes away from the Osaka Station, the Dotonbori market and few subway stops from all other interesting places in Osaka. Another best thing is the hotel's Vietnamese restaurant on the 30th floor. It will give you the opportunity to dine up in the sky and you can observe the city's skyline. The only bad thing is that being Japanese they are really strict with time. There is no way you can do an early check in. But at least they will allow you to place your luggage at the lobby. Overall, nice affordable place to stay in Osaka.

Ark Hotel Osaka Shinsaibashi is the best hotel among 3 hotels i stayed during my 14 days trip to Osaka, Kyoto & Tokyo. The staff is super friendly, polite & helpful. One of the staff has tried her best & never give up to help us to book the Kaiseki meal at Kyoto even she is not so fluent English speaking, i and my family really appreciated for the kind assistance. They have fluent English speaking staff as well, so there is no worries for English communication. Excellent service & environment. The room is spacious if compare to others hotel i stayed. Room is clean & tidy, the blanket is super duper comfort & soft. The Nagohoribashi Station exit 3 & 4 is just located at left & right of the hotel with just 1 min walking. So you have 2 choices for station exit. Hotel is nearby dining area. Definitely will stay again for next visit to Osaka. Great hotel.

I've been to Osaka twice and this is the best hotel I booked so far. 1st out of 3. It is 1 to 2 mins away from Nipponbashi station. 2 to 3 mins away to Dotombori. Namba station is also walkable. It is clean and with complete amenities in the room (kettle, green tea, body soaf, shampoo, conditioner, body foam, bath must haves, bath tub, hair dryer, sleep wear, sleepers, refrigerator, and free phone with WiFi that you could use while in Osaka). Bed is comfy. I am with my husband and 1 yr old child and the bed is just right for us. However, the room is small so of you have big luggages it might not fit inside. There is also restaurant at the ground floor which offer buffet breakgast. My son enjoyed Pepper. The robot at the lobby area. The reception is great and we dont have any problem on our check in and check out. Will definitely book this hotel when we go back.

Near the Orange Street. Walking distance to Supreme, XLarge, Bape, WTAPS, Carhatt, and many other Hypebeast Brand. Walking distance to Shinsaibashi, Ichiran Ramen, and some other nearby tourist attractions. JRpass is a must if you are travelling to Osaka from Tokyo, BCOS it is the value of money Pass especially in Japan. You can use it to Kyoto, and Nara. There is a direct train to Nara from Osaka Namba. Osaka Namba also walking distance from this hotel. Will definitely stay here again. Many restaurants nearby the Hotel Area. Family Mart is just right behind the hotel. Very convenient and highly recommended!!! Room are big enough for a couple with a bathtub. Breakfast is also very nice. I saw many Korean, Malay, Thai and Philippines people staying in this hotel. So food should not be a concern. Happy staying!!!

Our stay at Hotel Monterey Osaka was the first hotel that we stayed in our 13 days Japan tour. I would say it had given us a nice first impression of Japan. The room was spacious for 3 (triple room) and we slept comfortably. We like the view from the window through which we could see the chapel (at 8th floor) within the building made for purpose of wedding ceremony. We could also see majestic Umeda Sky Building from our window. The location was great as we could easily find food around Osaka station just 5 minutes walk from the hotel. For shopping, you could find Daimaru Department Store and other shops above Osaka Station. If you would like to have more variety of food and shopping, Dotonburi is just 10 minutes Subway ride away from Osaka Station. We would highly recommend this hotel to other travelers.

We were blown away by this hotel. Walking into the magnificent lobby in our casual sight-seeing clothes we actually felt a little underdressed. Perhaps the excellent rate for which we booked the room through Agoda allowed us to stay somewhere a little more classy than we would otherwise - as make no mistake this is a classy hotel. We were immediately surrounded by helpful staff offering to take our luggage and assist us with checking in. Much to our surprise some very petite young women were employed as porters and I felt quite guilty as our porter struggled to get our pieces of luggage on and off the baggage cart - I couldn't help but assist her with them. Once we got to our room the best feature became clear with a commanding view of Osaka-jo Castle and Osaka-jo-koen park - which only got better as the sun set and the castle was lit up. This happened to be our last night on a 3 week Japan holiday and we couldn't have picked a nicer place to stay.

Hotels in Japan are quite expensive so it's a given that you'll pay north of $100/night for a decent room. After looking at many hotels in Osaka and Kyoto, we decided to make Cross hotel our base for 2 nights. We were at the tail end of our 3 week trip in Japan so we wanted a place we can easily access good food and lots of shopping. Cross Hotel gave us that a more. The room is quite nice and more spacious (very rare) than we thought. This is in comparison with other hotels (3.5-5 stars) we've stayed at throughout Japan. We love the sit-down bathroom and the full tub. Amenities are awesome (designer stuff from both Japanese & French brands). As for being in the center of things, this hotel is next to the Dotonburi canal. You have food, shopping and night life in Dotonbori, tons of shopping (and more food) in Shinsaibashi (right behind the hotel), and Don Quijote (famous discount store with tons of stuff) is right in front of the hotel. Namba district is also 15 mins away.
