City Plaza Osaka

I loved loved loved the size of this room! This was one of the biggest hotel rooms. I’ve had a while. I visited Japan and it was so nice and spacious. The hotel is old so don’t expect modern set ups as the bathroom is old and there’s no USB plug-ins for phones and gadgets. I was very happy that this hotel offered free and unlimited access to their Hot Springs on the 14th floor. They were very nice. It was also very traditional so that means no clothes and absolutely no tattoos allowed. The location of this hotel was very nice. It was far from the hustle and bustle of the major tourist places, but not too far. It’s only two stops away from Nipponbashi Station which will get you to everywhere you want to go. It was about a five minute walk to the metro to about three different lines. Also the area it was in had a lot of restaurants, convenience stores, pharmacies, pretty much anything you need was around and for better prices than the tourist areas. It was much more local and a pleasant experience in that area. The only downside was the amenities of this hotel. If you wanted to use the pool or gym it cost extra and laundry was also an extra service and for a huge hotel this size there was no laundry machines that you could use by yourself for extra money instead they gave directions to a laundromat that was quite a walk away. To improve this hotel, I would definitely set up some laundry machines for guests to access by themselves because I stayed during New Year’s and the laundry service was suspended. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would definitely stay here again if I come back to Osaka.

This hotel is located near Osaka castle which makes it very convenient for those seeking to explore the area. It also has access to two different metro lines which are a couple of blocks away. The service is very good and the best part is the access to the hot springs on the top floor.

Amazing onsen with severa baths . Room is very comfortable and spacious for Japanese standards . Check in staff were super friendly and attentive. Location is about 7 minutes to the nearest metro station and there is a 7-eleven just in front of the hotel. Excellent stay and quite near the Osaka castle. It is only two stops from Namba metro station and the neighborhood is very pleasant .

It was a bit of a walk from the train station. The room carpet looked a bit worn out and had stains. The room was a bit squeezed even for one person.

Room was very spacious and decently priced. A bit of a walk to the nearest train station, but was not too bad. Near a police station too which was nice, had a fee konbinis nearby and one right downstairs!

Room was ok, at least not the smallest one you can find in Japan. We can easily up a 28’ luggage with a little space to walk by. The hotel is around 8-10mins walk from the train station, can be quite hot during the summer. Good for people who drive, cos provide a private parking with 172 spaces, and only costs 1000 YEN for one day.
