I first booked a small double room but decided to change to a twin room to be sure to have a good bed size for the two of us and looking at the small double where were our friends, I felt quite lucky. Room is OK, not fantastic. All signs and instructions in the hotel room are in Japanese and... More

This hotel is fairly good. Its location is near to a JR railway station and one stop from the Osaka main station. Though it is a bit far from the main night entertainment neighbourhoods, but still with the metro, you can get there easily. You've got a shopping arcade near the hotel with nice shops. Hotel and rooms are very... More

I chose this hotel for our first part of the trip to Japan, as I had read the quite good reviews, but somehow I can´t really relate to them. We arrived to Osaka the 22nd December and were booked in Il grande Umeda for 2 nights. The room was not very big, but that was not an issue, somehow the... More

Stayed here for one night in a single room before leaving Japan. Very clean room and efficient service. Typical of Japan. If you're looking for good value with a room in a reasonably quiet location, 10mins walk from all the shops and restuarants this is the place. However if you want to hit the bars in Namba then you might... More

The hotel is nice, modern fittings, the rooms were quite small for two though. Staff friendly, excellent internet access in the lobby. Only problem was that when we turned the air-conditioning on you could smell cigarette smoke from other rooms :(

average business hotel a little off the beaten path. rooms were small even by Japanese standards and its not in a great location. bit dated looking too. wifi only in lobby.

Rooms are really small compared to Japanese standards and one has to be careful not to bump into oneself! Because of the size we wanted to open the windows for fresh air as the room had a rather sweaty smell to it, but that disturbed our sleep as the surrounding streets are very noisy with racing cars. That said, the... More

Just an other outdated business hotel in a perfect location. Close to subway and JR stations. Walking distance to restaurant-nightlife district. Free WIFI only at the lobby. For this price it was a nice choice. The hotel staff speaks english and helped me to book my next hotel on my trip in Japan, as the next hotel wasn't available on... More

Near subway station, shopping street, supermarket and 'Lawson' (24-hours convenient shop), Mos Burger and a 24-Hours Japanese fast food joint (next to Mos Burger). Receptionists speak reasonable English, helpful and friendly. Hotel room was clean but very small to me, probably large enough for Japanese standard. Our room window was facing a wall but that's fine with us as we... More
