Hotel Ilmonte

Umeda Osaka|0.17km from Hep Five Ferris wheel
Where do I begin with the problems? This may seem centrally located, but it is still quite a hike from Osaka Station, especially with bags. As other travelers have noted, the entrance is fairly well hidden, we got lucky and walked in the right door and figured out where to go the first time, but that was just dumb luck. The area was the most seedy place I have been anywhere in Japan. There was trash on the streets, and loud fights going on practically everywhere. Had to push our way past the drunks on the way in and the way out. Staff took FOREVER to do check in and couldn't seem to find our reservation and yes, then it cost a bit more for no appreciable reason. Luggage storage area simply a roped off area in the tiny check in room (anybody could make off with your luggage and nobody would know the difference). We asked for two keys because there were two of us and got major static, but eventually our two keys. Elevator up to our floor claustrophobic beyond belief - could barely fit the two of us and our luggage. The room was small and cramped. All the advertised amenities were there, but in miniature. The walls are done up in 1970s dark paneling, so lighting is a major issue. Also had to hunt around to find the electrical outlets to charge our phone/tablets. Bathroom was decent sized, but the faucet sounded like a 747 taking off every time we used it. EVERY time we left our room, we were stopped by hall staff demanding to know who we were and where we were going. Nobody tells you that the rooms are right next to a busy freeway overpass, so you have cars and trucks going by all day and night. Then in the morning you are treated to the sights and sounds of guys pouring their drunken girlfriends into taxis right out in front of the hotel. And yes, there are the police and ambulances constantly moving around 24/7. Then the breakfast is an adventure. We bought tickets, but as there are no signs we sat down at one of the tables and were almost assaulted by the dining room lady who DEMANDED our tickets. After getting over our sheer embarrassment from that we went to the ”buffet” that was limited at best, with most things running out almost immediately. It was a struggle to find something to eat in any sufficient quantity to start your day. Protein offerings ran out FAST, even in the very early hours. If you want an adventure in lodging, this is the place for you. If you want someplace that is relatively friendly, has some customer service, is not overrun by rude staff and drunks, go somewhere....anywhere....else.

I am a frequent traveller and highly spoiled normally staying in Four Seasons but on Tripadvisor i noticed this hotel and the super reviews and looking at prices it was interesting to try and happy I did! Quick review: -top housekeeping, big compliment for this team -super clean rooms -spacious room with huge balcony and this is a huge bonus to the room also the amazing view -very silent rooms, no noise from other rooms, alley or street -very complete room with everything you need -great bed! -friendly staff although English is not very good and surprised me especially in reception Location is the keyword, I walked around a lot and found this hotel is superb to visit Osaka, everything important within walking distance. Some minor points I think the hotel should improve: -concierge service and English language i really missed -slippery bathtub, improvement needed as they don’t have a seperate shower, very dangerous so input a towel in the tub. -there is no bar! I can highly recommend this fine hotel and would return without any doubt. To be improved in my view: - bathtub is too slippery and dangerous so needs improvement - language skills of reception is poor and concierge service would be good to have -there is no bar but they have a great outdoor terrace so use it for drinks!

VIA INN Umeda JR West Group

Umeda
The hotel is very modern and the staff speak English (it seems to be a lie but it is hard for someone to speak English in this country). This is great because we visit other places from here. The room has a standard size, is clean, the bathroom is comfortable and is modern. It has tea and coffee in the entrance for guests (caffee is horrible, type infusion, but the infusion is good). As close to the station, it has all kinds of services around: shops, restaurants, karaokes...

It is located within walking distance from JR Osaka station and can be accessed through the underground shop street, so accessing the hotel in rainy weather is not a problem at all. The staff can speak English well. The breakfast is perfect and worth the price with Costa coffee. The room is not quite large but sufficient for stay.
Hotel Dans le Coeur Osaka Umeda
4.5/5166 Reviews
Umeda
○ not good ○ good point - there is nothing shortage except the following ”not good”. - ”Cleanliness” and ”satisfaction of breakfast” This is the highest priority in hotel selection, but this point is very satisfying. - It is new enough to smell building materials, but it is still praised for the room without dust and the bathroom without cloudy. - Breakfast is quite rich in variety. The taste is good. Dinner was late and I was not very hungry, but I just overeat it. - In addition to side dishes and salad, I had curry and pork bone ramen. I want to stay overnight. - Sweets are rich and coffee is especially delicious. - The atmosphere of the restaurant is good, and the staff 々 was also very concerned and I was able to eat comfortably. ○ Not good point - I wanted a hand soap. - The room is quite small. - There is no security box or WiFi explanation anywhere. - The breakfast scrambled eggs are too hot. ○ General Theory There is no luxury like a big hotel, but I was able to make it sufficiently and spend it comfortably. The location is good, so if you keep this, you will stay at the lodging.
Hotel Livemax Umeda Doyama

The location is very good, and the sanitary environment is good. For service, you have to OEM to let the waiter clean the room and she will clean it. If the facilities are good, the only thing is that the room is a code lock. Every time you enter the door, you have to enter the code, which is troublesome. , For these two points, the others are good, close to the station, and there are convenience stores when you go out, not bad
