We arrived at the Imperial Hotel after travelling through six other cities in Japan including Tokyo and Kyoto. We chose the hotel primarily due to its TripAdvisor #1 ranking in Osaka. We stayed in a range of hotels across Japan and we’re avid travellers (40+ countries) and are typically not fussy travellers. The hotel’s location is bad for any travellers... more

We stayed here as a part of a tour group to Kansai, this was the second place we stayed at. The hotel is amazingly beautiful, well-done, opulent. Our room was large, even for American hotel standards, roomy, and very, very nice. We felt like we were in the lap of luxury while we stayed here. Internet is free, the LAN... more

This hotel is just pure indulgence. We had booked a standard room and were upgraded to the most fantastic room. Very big, with the best bed and view over the river and the city. Walking distance to the metro and close to a couple of nice little resturants. The hotel has 3 resturants and 2 bars so you never have... more

This hotel continues to represent the flawless quality and service that is the Imperial hotel name. We caught the complimentary bus outside the Osaka train station which took us directly to the hotel...just brilliant! Upon arrivng at the hotel the staff excelled themselves with the very service, that we had grown accustomed too at the Tokyo Imperial hotel. The hotel... more

We styed three nights at the Imperial Hotel notwithstanding that it was not located near Osaka train station (which seemed to be more convenient) because of the price we were able to book. We are in one of the newly renovated rooms, king sized bed, river view: wonderful! Read some prior reviews about distance from subway/metro station -- no problem:... more

I stayed at this hotel as part of business travel. The amenities and service are wonderful. The room are very comfortable, the service is exemplary. I breakfasted at the hotel all 6 mornings of my stay and it had good variety. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the fitness center charges are too high ($50/day)... more

I LOVED this hotel. It is beautiful and the service perfect. I had an amazing view of the River and every morning watched rowing teams practice. Adjacent the hotel is a fabulous bakery where I tasted some of the most rich croissants ever. I loved the bathroom with a separate shower and tub. The toilet seat is heated with an... more

We went to Osaka, Japan for the Christmas in 2006 (23rd-31st Dec)- stayed at Imperial Hotel for our accommodation. We booked through [--] in June for a great deal. Cost us about 191 AUD per night, normally, these rooms are like 300+ AUD per night. Overall, we really loved our room, it was double bed, with soft and tv, however... more

Comfortable hotel but beware if you plan to use the fitness club. The hotel charges a whopping 5,250 yen every time you use it - even if you're only after a 30-minute workout on the treadmill. They insist it is a "private club", despite advertising it as part of the hotel's facilities. more
