I think this deserves the rating it gets from other people. At the time of writing, it's 3.7-starred rated. The location is THE BEST. Right next to Shin-Osaka station, it takes you literally anywhere across Japan (bullet train, reg-train, and subway). The theme is "gold" but the furniture and appliances are rather old. I don't expect this out of a 3-star-grade hotel, but relative to other hotels of the same grade in Japan, they could have done better. The breakfast buffet is extensive with free soft drinks and a wide variety of food. The bed is rather uncomfortable, but that's subjective. They have a "hybrid" soft and firm that doesn't hit the mark in my opinion.

The restaurant in the hotel, China Table, shamefully serves shark fin on their menu. This is disgusting. Shark fin is not sourced suitably. They are illegally caught and thrown back in the sea to die a painful death. It should be removed from the menu.On the plus side. The service is great and couldn't do enough to help.

This hotel is very decent... semi luxurious in the lobby but.... furnitures are already old. The beds are very stiff for my back and the conditioner dispenser was leaking. One bulb is out in the ceiling. There is only a centralized airconditioning system but is not turned on so they advised me to open the window. No money exchange machine too. Staff is helpful but English language is a problem. Pros: it has good breakfast buffet and it is walking distance to the train station.

This hotel is okay but furnitures are already outdated . The beds are very stiff and the pillows were like Sandbags. The location of the hotel is promising which is close to the station, the business could be more booming if the ameneties were only up to scratch. The centralized airconditioning system but is not switched on when you put your card key. so I decided to open the window rather than trouble the Staff and make another query about the aircon which i know will not be rectified.The Staff are very helpful, courteous and eventhough the facilities are from the 80's. and I know English is not necessesarry but sometime when you work in a hospitality Business can we make sure it's a must on some occations.

The room was small but it was a comfortable stay for an individual. The proximity of the hotel from Shin-Osaka station is a big advantage. Room amenities are good. Breakfast is decent with japanese style cuisine. …

It’s a comfortable hotel for a short stay, although I thought the mattress I was on was a little too stiff for my liking.Nice lobby area, has that New York feel with an amazing chandelier.The bedrooms looked aged, but the bathroom was modern, rather odd they refurbished the bathroom and not the bedrooms in this hotel.The best bit is the breakfast on the 23rd floor. Amazing views across the city.Nothing of interest in the immediate area around the hotel, but you got the massive train station nearby with lots on and trains to take you about the place.

The rooms were a really good size and the place was lovely and clean. Very close to the station. Nice restaurant in the 23rd floor. |Most staff were lovely but the lady at the front desk on the front desk on sat 10th Nov was unhelpful to the point of rudeness.. it was a shame.

Stayed at a spacious room. Very unusual for a large scale Japanese hotel, but I found hair on the bed and bathroom, and some persistent dirt on the tea table in the room (we didn't bring any food into our room so this is unmistakable). Also, the room door or the its frame are not really sound proof (below average at least) - you'd mistake the sound of next room's door opening as your own room's... but walls seem fine, so it wasn't that critical for me. Overall, facility seems old but well taken care of. Staff is very attentive. Breakfast buffet is quite decent with wide variety of Japanese and western dishes and the view from the restaurant is spectacular, which kept the stars to 3.

Nice hotel close to Shin Osaka station. Slightly old fashioned but has some lovely characteristics. Rooms are large by Japanese standards. Has free Wi-Fi, coffee and tea making, fridge but no safe which was disappointing. Beds are large but quite hard. Staff are very helpful. Breakfast had a large choice of mainly Japanese food.
