Hotels near Sakuragawa Station, Osaka

I had an excellent experience overall. The position is absolutely perfect, right between Namba station and the heart of the vibrant street-food district. You can be at Namba station in 5 minutes by walk. The room was spacious enough, and the shower and tub were beautiful. Everything was very clean. The only thing that I found slightly odd was the structure of the building: the hotel does not really feel like a hotel when you enter, because it shares the building with other businesses. So the actual lobby is on the 11th floor. Still, the staff were welcoming and kind.

Great location! Walking distance to all the markets and night life. If you want to store your luggage, it’s quite easy. Check in was fast too. Room had a nice big bathtub to relax in after a busy day of sight seeing!

Superb location near Dotonbori and Shinsaibashisuji.. Proximity to train lines also make travelling around Osaka a breeze.. Teppanyaki Minami within swissotel is also highly recommended, especially for Accor Plus members. Swiss Advantage room feels of old luxury and still still comfortable. Concierge was very helpful with my questions, and also assisted us to use luggage delivery for the first time.

Although I was not staying at the W, the MIXup cafe is a fun spot in the middle of Osaka to have a tea or coffee and their amazing dessert(s). I was looking to try their seasonal dessert, the strawberry mille feuille, although it was already sold out when I arrived. This gives me another reason to return soon! The staff was so friendly and helpful. Upon arrival, I was swiftly shown to my table that I reserved ahead of time (thanks, Marriott Bonvoy), and was walked through the menu and how their orders work. Many teas to choose from, and the cake I chose was plated so beautifully. The chantilly cream with the berries - out of this world! The entire experience was smooth, and I was delighted with the level of service provided. In a way, this is ”normal” and expected for Japan, but I want to highlight that I really enjoyed this visit and look forward to going back.

The hotel is right next to the Namba Parks Shopping mall. For those who opted to use the Nankai Rapid Train can reach the hotel within an hour from the KIX station, if the queue for buying the train tickets is not too long. From train station, it was simply a 5 to 10min max if with big luggage. Around 10 walk to the nearest Namba Metro Station, or 15 min if you choose to use the Hanshin train line for Kobe or Kintetsu line for Nara as the two train lines shared a common station. The room is spacious for Japanese standards but could be bigger in reality for two people to open both luggages at the same time. It’s good that they have designed the toilet area into three separate spaces, so each space can be utilise by a person at a time without crossing the other’s path. Overall, well recommended for everyone who wants to stay in Namba area, and the staff checking in and out for us was the same person with a super nice and welcoming attitude. Such a good memory to remember.

Location is great, service was good and breakfast was the best. It was near the famous Glico man. It is also within walking distance to Parco and other great stores. ABC Mart, Uniqlo, Atmos are near. As to food trips, there are a lot of ramen places around. Namba Station is about 1 kilometer away, which can be easily be walked even with luggages, where you can board the Nankai Line to Kansai Airport. Yes, the airport is just a train ride away, no need to hire expensive private transfers.

This superb hotel, very conveniently situated near Honmachi station on the Midosuji line, is the best hotel within the Holiday Inn Express Chain that I have ever stayed at. Our room, furnished with a contemporary flair, house exceptionally comfortable beds for a tranquil night's sleep. In a thoughtful nod to guest comfort, the hotel offers both soft and firm pillows to suit individual preferences. The intuitive air conditioning system allows for seamless temperature adjustments, and the seemingly small refrigerator packs a punch with its remarkable cooling capabilities. A suitably sized table is perfectly situated for using my laptop. The bathroom goes above and beyond, featuring a powerful massage shower system that soothes our every tired muscle after a full day of touring. The hotel staff are a paradigm of warmth and hospitality, always available with a smile and ready to assist. When I requested for a plug adapter, they went the extra mile and provided two, fulfilling my true requirements perfectly. The breakfast buffet is a culinary delight with its high-quality selections. Even though the variety may not be vast, the available options more than satisfy the palate for a hearty breakfast. The handmade Tofu stands out with its impressive softness, surpassing those I've had in Hong Kong. In a testament to their thoughtful service, the hotel provides bags for guests to pack their breakfast, catering to those on a tight schedule. After a six-night stay at this hotel, I found it hard to bid farewell to this remarkable gem, standing out among the multitude of hotels. It offers an experience that redefines hospitality. From Jerome, the General Manager, to every member of staff including the room cleaning team, there's a palpable demonstration of team spirit in their commitment to delivering supreme quality service. While I’ve previously enjoyed my stays at the St. Regis and Intercontinental in Osaka, this experience has shifted my preference. Should I find myself returning to Osaka, this hotel will undoubtedly be my singular choice.

Location is good although it is not situated in the most popular spot, however for people who want to avoid the busy crowd, this location is very suitable. It is very easy and convenient to take metro to Shinsaibashi, Umeda and Osaka Station (like 1-2 station distance). There are many local cafe nearby, if you are not going to choose hotel breakfast, there are many choices outside. Staff service is good also, and I'm quite impressed of their english level which are easy for us to communicate.

Conclusion I will never stay at ANA Crowne Plaza Osaka again. The room was the smallest I have ever been at and part of the window was blocked by a wall outside the room. The check in and check out was chaos with a huge queue. The hotel is outdated too. The only positive thing regarding this hotel is the club lounge. Review I arrived with the Shinkassen at Osaka station and the hotel is in walking distance from station. The train station is huge, and I was difficult to find the right exit. The hotel is located in a business area, but there are a lot of restaurants, bars and shops in the neighborhood. Not the right area, if you are a turist. I arrived at 2 pm, where I could not get me room even I am an IHG diamond member. Came back after a couple of hours, where there was a huge queue. Check-in took between 45-60 min. It was the same situation, when I should check out. It is not possible to check out in the IHG app. Even I have the highest status in the IHG program, I got the smallest room in the hotel. It was not possible to open my suitcase in the room - i don’t want it on the bed. The window was partly blocked by wall outside the window. The room is very outdated. I had access to the club lounge, where I had a couple of drinks during the evening and breakfast in the morning. The lounges was ok but it was busy.

My family has a good experience with the service and location. It's unfortunate that they're planning to remove the in-room washing machine, which could be a drawback for future stays. Hopefully, they consider replacing it with an alternative amenity.
