Osaka Kita Ward 3-star Hotels

Things have been different after covid there are good and bad about the hotel after 2 years since my last stay. Breakfast was still good but not as good as before. And the supper curry rice no longer supply. But there are free coffee and the location changes also.. lots of ”information center” around if you know what I mean.

○ 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.

This Ibis is located in the center of Osaka near Umeda station. It is also closed to Don Quijote and Osaka Science Museum. It is very convenient if you have to travel to other outskirt cities. The room is clean and tidy. It is good for solo and couple travel. Very happy with my stay there.

It's very close to Sanban Street, so it's very convenient to eat. It's also within walking distance of the New Hankyu Hotel from the airport bus. When you exit the hotel, turn left and you will find a 7-11 convenience store that offers tax refunds. Turn right and you will find a Lawson convenience store. There is also a 24-hour McDonald's across the street, so you don't have to worry about going hungry at night🤣

The lobby service is good. We were preparing to go from Osaka to Kyoto, but the traffic information in Google Navigation was quite confusing, and the lobby couldn't provide immediate answers, so we ordered us to have breakfast first and she helped with the search. After coming back, explain patiently and write it down on paper in advance. The breakfast is cost-effective and tastes good, including delicious frozen lychees. The price of the hotel is more suitable in the Umeda area. Because it was difficult to book a hotel when it was fully booked, I stayed elsewhere for two nights and moved here.

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...

Hotel is conveniently located near to the Osaka Metro which makes it well placed for travelling into and around the city. The hotel itself was a little hard to find, look for the tall pink building. When we arrived the staff spoke very little English, enough to get by with check in. They held onto our bags until check in time which was appreciated. The room itself was nice, small like usual Japanese hotels but enough for us. Breakfast however was very average. The first day we had breakfast a member of staff gestured for us to sanitise our hands, no issue however then proceeded to not ask any Japanese customer to sanitise theirs. This improved on our subsequent visits however we found ourselves finding other things to eat outside of the hotel buffet after breakfast time. A lot of the food was lukewarm, especially the bacon. I'd stay here again, but possibly not partake in the breakfast in future.

Structure Osaka の Extends が More いです. i used it for the first time on this site This hotel. Zubari It's a love hotel. When checking in i was surprised. No hindrance.

I used it for about a week from the end of March. Because it was under such a situation, I was very sorry, and I asked for a little bit of self-help about the cleaning of the room, but the front desk was not particularly able to explain anything I accepted it (there is a hygiene relationship, so I wanted to clean it once a day even if I stayed for three nights). I thought that I was really clever about other things. Especially the small staff at the front desk was very good impression! If you have another chance, I will use it!

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.
