Hotels near Hokoku Shrine in Osaka

The room was very clean and comfortable. It was close to Osaka Castle and suitable for a morning walk, so I had a good experience. There is also a 7-Eleven within 0 minutes' walk, so you won't have any trouble if you want to buy something. Breakfast was a formal buffet, but both the Italian and Japanese dishes were of high quality and I was very satisfied. Although it is a bit of a train journey from central Osaka, this is a hotel I would definitely consider if I have the opportunity to come to Osaka again.

I've traveled Japan quite extensively, and so far, this is the one of the best hotel (for it's value) that I've ever stayed in. At first, I had doubts on the hotel location, seeing that I'm travelling with infant and a big luggage, but to my surprise the location is quite convenient. The connection to the subway station and JR station means you can visit almost every tourist attraction in Osaka. Just a few steps from the subway exit, the hotel provides a shuttle bus which operates every 15-minutes. Although, putting big luggage into the minibus was quite a challenge, once seated in the bus you can breathe a sigh of relief. The receptionist speaks English, so the check-in process is quite hassle free. There's a Family Mart behind the hotel in case you are looking for something to eat at night as the area is quite quiet at night. Inside the hotel there are coin operated laundry, vending machine and ice machine so your basic necessities are covered. I stayed in the Superior Room, which is the biggest room they have to offer us there. It was quite spacious and luxurious, and we really enjoyed the bathtub, which was a relief after a few days of staying in small hotel rooms of Kyoto. The view from the room is spectacular. You can continuously enjoy the view of Osaka Castle in the morning and at night. It must have been much more spectacular once the Sakura trees surrounding the castle is in full bloom. The only thing that I could nitpick on the room is that the bed and the pillow should've been as plush as the room. The breakfast menu is not quite extensive, nevertheless it is quite delicious. I will definitely stay in KKR Hotel Osaka again for my next trip.

After resuming my travel abroad, I visited Osaka again after five years. After looking at hotels for a long time, I chose New Otani, which I had stayed at five years ago. My impression at the time was very good. Location: Located in the northeast corner of Osaka Castle Park, it focuses on a quiet environment and is only a ten-minute walk from the lively Kyobashi Shopping Street. If you don’t plan to do a lot of shopping, this hotel’s location is still very good. Transportation: There are three nearby stations, all of which are basically within ten minutes’ walk. You can take the Osaka Metro Nagahoribashi Line directly to Shinsaibashi. There is the Keihan Electric Railway that can go directly to Kyoto Gion and Sanjo. There is also the most popular one in Osaka. The Jr Loop Line (can reach usj, airport, and Kobe) Facilities: It is hard to imagine that this is a hotel that opened in 1986. The facilities are very well maintained. Hygiene: Like the facilities, as an old Japanese brand hotel, the hygiene is clean and there is nothing uncomfortable. Service: Maintaining a high standard of service content as always In the future, Osaka will be my first choice without any surprise.

Much better than expected. The room is clean and tidy, everything is very comfortable. The city center is convenient to go anywhere. It's a 10 minute walk from Osaka Castle 🤩 the room is cleaned every day, and the maids are super cute and friendly. Room view is also nice. In short, can't fault it. Next time if I visit Osaka again I will definitely book this hotel again. 100 score

After coming out of the west exit of JR Kyobashi Station, you go through a long corridor and it takes about 6 minutes to reach the second floor of the hotel. The lobby is on the second floor. There is a larger family on the first floor, so it is more convenient to buy some snacks. The location of the hotel is very convenient. It can be reached by JR from Kansai Airport. It is also very close by JR to Umeda, Universal Studios and Namba. It can also be reached by JR to Nara and Kyoto. It is a 15-minute walk to Osaka Castle Park and a 20-minute walk to the castle tower. minute. There are also small shopping malls and restaurants near the hotel where you can eat and buy. The hotel breakfast is Japanese and Western style, with more varieties and slightly higher prices. The hotel is in the business district, but it is more convenient to go to various attractions by JR, and the overall price/performance ratio is relatively high.

It's so close to Osaka Castle Park, just across the road. There are also Osaka Prefectural Government Department Building and NHK Osaka Building on this road. It's in the city center and very cost-effective. There is a snack shop downstairs in the hotel, so I bought some as souvenirs. The hotel room is indeed very small, but it is quite clean. However, it is very noisy in the corridor in the morning and evening for some reason, and the hotel cleaning staff is also quite noisy.

The language and envy of the front desk were polite and comfortable. The room was cleaned well. Convenience stores and coin laundry were on the first floor and convenient. Resident parking が limited number of stations だったので, phone で confirm してから berth to about しました. (One berth 1100~ ) There is also a free bicycle rental, and I wanted to cycle next time I stayed.

Exceptional service - the front desk helped me to arrange taxi to the airport and it was not easy because they were fully booked. The person tried many times and finally found a taxi for us, much to our relief. The front desk is trained to ask all the right questions, staying calm. They also helped to receive my transferred luggage from another hotel. All timely and accurately. It deserved a 6 star for such exceptional service. The hotel ambience has a calming effect as it is dark but lighted on the areas that you need to see. We have no problem even though some people commented on it. Great location Room size is comfortable and considered a fair size, in fact, slightly larger and well planned. Breakfast has a good spread. Think it is great to open at 6.30 am as it gives maximum time to have an early start. Highly recommended for couple and families.

The location is unbeatable, multiple convenience stores around, 7-10min walk to Dotonburi and various stations, lots of restaurants and quiet streets at night time. The hotel also has a cafeteria with free tea, water, melon soda, coca cola and other refreshments that are available 24/7. The room itself is simple but very comfortable and has everything you could need. Rooms are cleaned daily and amenities replenished too, even if you opt out of cleaning by sticking a ”Do not clean” magnet on the door, they then put everything in a bag and hang it on the handle. The staff is mostly professional, speak decent English and the check-in/out process was easy. Where it loses points is due to the following: On one of our big days out exploring, we came back to the hotel at around 8PM. The Front Lobby was filled with a big and disorganised Chinese group/family of 12-16 people who were scattered throughout the lobby. They did not all have a hotel key card, I know this because there was an employee by the escalator using his key on the elevator to send up them to their rooms. So my girlfriend and I got our keys out, got to the front of the other elevator and showed our cards as a way of gesturing if we could go up. The employee rejected us and we got the idea that we had to wait. Now I don't know about you, but I don't see why I need to wait for something that isn't my problem. Their lobby was littered and the tourists were being loud and screaming at eachother from across the room. We were not going to wait. Line them up in front of one elevator and use the other one for people who are entering and exiting, and if no one is entering and exiting, then let them use both elevators. Such unprofessionalism. We decided to leave and go for a walk and kill time at the local convienience store, but it definitely ruined our day and experience with the hotel. Another reason is I asked if they could make a restaurant reservation on my behalf, the bird cafe that I wanted to go to had a registration and booking process that was not friendly for tourists. It required me to write my Japanese Name for some reason, as well as phone number. The hotel said they could not make such reservations for me. I ended up walking in and was lucky it was a weekday and it wasn't as packed. Also be sure to check how many adults is listed on the room you plan to book, I didn't check properly and mine said 1 Adult, even though it fits 2 and the amenities were stocked for 2, this mistake of mine cost me 14,000yen (2000yen a day) because I had my girlfriend with me.

This hotel was excellent for us. The room was small but beautiful, and thanks to a lot of space under the bed we actually had more than enough space and enjoyed the fairly sizeable bathtub! Location-wise, the hotel is well placed with a station a couple of minutes away and Osaka Castle very nearby too. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again!
