We booked a double room (Tower Wing Standard), and it was very large and roomy. A nice king sized bed, sitting area, desk, and a huge shower/tub was in the bathroom. This part of the room was great! But... I would have gladly traded in a for a smaller room to be in an area that is more centrally located... more

I travelled to Osaka with my father on business and we chose to stay at the Rihga Royal Hotel as it was close to our associates office (which was why they recommended it). In terms of location, it is quite central and is picturesque as it overlooks the river. All cabbies knew the hotel, which was quite reassuring and the... more

Transportation to this hotel is not convenient. There is a free shuttle bus (a very big green bus) that stops at JR Osaka (the main train station). To get on the bus, you sit in a chair in an enclosed glass waiting room at the side of the building. There are two sides. One for the next bus and the... more

Keep in mind that all hotel beds in Japan are hard. I slept in 3,4 and even 5 star hotels and the beds felt just the same. This hotel was ok. My room was a little dated compared to the rest of the hotels I stayed in in my Charming Asia Tours Japan trip. The beds however were big, the... more

The hotel is very nicely located in Osaka. There is a train station that is viewable from the rooms. Within 5 minutes walking distance is a little shopping mall that is opened until very late. The rooms itself are pretty spacious considering japan standards and are clean. The reception area is gorgeous. more

Stayed here for two nights - the lobby was amazing and check in with very smooth. Also, the man at the tour desk was EXTREMELY helpful - probably the best service I have seen in a hotel What really lets the hotel down in the room - upon exiting the lift you are faced with a very dark and dreary... more

Stayed in this hotel for a conference in the Cube (right next door). The twin room we stayed in had loads of room, everything was clean and tidy and there was a nice night time view from the window. All the staff were friendly. My only downside was that you had to pay extra for pool use. Great shuttle service,... more

This hotel was built already in the 70's and is considered a classic gem by the Osaka residents. It is situated adjacent to the Cube conference centre. I stayed in a larger twin bed room in the tower building, which is the better of the two wings. I never managed to find out if they have non-smoking rooms. Some of... more

I stayed for 4 nights in this hotel during my random holiday in Osaka. I had never been to Japan before so I didn't really know what to expect, but the service and quality of the room were pleasantly surprising especially for AU$58.81-66.09 per night. The staff were very polite, efficient and friendly. Check-in was very quick and the concierge... more
