Solid hotel with a great staff. Didn’t feel any sass from staff and very accommodating and helpful. Got a run through of the room which is always thoughtful and had bags delivered up as well. Fantastic panoramic view of the Okawa River below. A ferry used to be open at the dock below but you’d have to walk a mile to the dock near the castle for it now. Walking distance to Tenmangu Shrine and many restaurants. Shuttle to airport but earliest one is near 8AM and one to the train station as well. Can also just walk across the river to a stop three minutes away. Perfect jumping off spot for Osaka Marathon. Best stay you can get and a nice splurge if traveling.

Excellent services, staff are very well-mannered, thanks for putting up with six of us.

Room is well maintained. Beds are super comfortable. My mum is delightedly surprised at the firmness of the mattress as well as the crispness of bedsheets.

All amenities are of decent quality, the sort you would use at home rather than on road. Hot water pressure is great, morning espresso coffee is a must. Feel like it is a "home away from home".

Undoubtedly we have enjoyed our 4 night stay.

Shuttle bus connects between hotel and JR Osaka station, from where you can travel onward to most places.

Spacious rooms, the best bath/shower I had in Japan, great service. Comfortable beds, great amenities such as kimono bathrobes and Nescafe machine. The view from the room was spectacular.

They have many restaurants. The best breakfast buffet with oriental and occidental options. Their scrambled eggs were very good.

Hotel offers complimentary luggage service if you have to check out but want to remain touring.

A great feature was their shuttle bus to Osaka station, from and to the hotel.

The tv could offer more options.

The reception hall is tall and wide, the room is large enough, clean and comfortable, the mattress is moderately soft and hard, and the supporting facilities are complete. The river view room is very nice. The Japanese set meal breakfast on the 24th floor is very good. There are TVs, hairdryers and other equipment, as well as WIFI.

Service was excellent, hotel itself was nice. Personally, we would not stay here again. This hotel is about 15-20 minute walk to the main train station, which makes getting around difficult. Most of what we did was south of the hotel (Dotonbori, Sennichimae Doguyasuji, Kuromon Ichiba Market, Nipponbashi, Tsutenkaku Tower), so would recommend staying in that area if you only have a few days and want to limit time spent on travel. There’s not a ton going on around this hotel if you’re looking to explore.

Also, the fitness center, pool, sauna, public bath, etc. is not included in the hotel fee and costs 5,500 yen/person (~$40 USD) per visit. And you have to pay twice if you want to go back the same day.
