I chose the New Otani as I wanted a view of the castle. On reflection not such a good idea as the hotel is not near the centre of Osaka and the many shops and restaurants of the Namba district. In the immediate vicintiy there is the IMP building with a few restauarants of an adequate standard - however the... more

Stayed here at a corporate rate for a client I was visiting in Osaka prefecture; as a result, the price was almost half of that which I was paying in Tokyo. The rooms are simple and clean enough, but the bathroom is looking a little dated compared to other properties in Japan. The service is exceptionally attentive - walk out... more

This hotel is excellent. Got an amazing birthday special and the room was only approx €28. But staff treated us as if we had paided the full rate. The rooms are specious esp for Japan and clean.There are also a large number of resturants to choose from and a little bakery. The main asset that the hotel has are both... more

You may have a good castle view especially at night from your room. The Hotel is near JR and subway station, about 5-10 mins by walk. The hotel locate on business area, but you may go to shopping area by subway readily. The room is very clean and comfort. The staff is friendly and helpful. more

I have traveled quite a lot Worldwide and can't speak highly enough about this property. The rooms are large and very well maintained. The location was very nice. Osaka Castle was just across the river. It was a pleasure to return from a day of sightseeing and have this as a quiet oasis. Osaka has excellent mass transit, so being... more

Our stay was great. The hotel was very near the train station so accessibility around Osaka was so easy. The hotel was superbly clean. They have large rooms and very comfortable beds. All staff were very accommodating. Especially the Guest Relations Officers were always ready and happy to assist you in every way. I would recommend this hotel and would... more

This hotel is located in the business district, and there's not much to do at night. I would prefer to stay in a more busy/upbeat area next time -- it would save money on taxis and metro. Other than that, the hotel is pretty nice and comfortable. more

Although considered a mostly business type hotel, we liked the location because of the quietness and the proximity of a park near the palace grounds where our three young children had a chance to run around. We did not like the fact that everything had a surcharge...internet, pool, fitness room, etc. The staff was too serious and was not capable... more

My family and I stayed at the New Otani in November. The hotel is lovely and the service is amazing. The staff is so helpful and pleasant. The rooms were nice, but the bathroom is a little dated and small. It can be tricky to find the hotel if taking the Osaka Loop Line on the train. It's not convenient... more
