The Lively Osaka Hotel had the best vibe. The ambiance was modern, hip, welcoming & friendly. The live DJ was a great touch. The food….breakfast & dinner was absolutely delicious. The guest room on the second floor had various amenities at your disposal as well as the best green tea & coffee. I was able to get some work done in the guest room for a few hours as the atmosphere was calm. I will definitely be returning to The Lively on my next visit.

Very close to train station...2 minute walk. There is a very convenient 7-11 store and McDonald's within the same 2 min walk. This hotel was also very close to the Osaka Castle which was really nice because my walking Osaka tour meeting point was just a 2 minute walk across the street. The rooms are roomy and comfortable. They have a fridge (which is nice for chilling those 7-11 egg sandwiches and Japanese beer :)) and electric tea kettle. Nothing fancy here but was able to sleep comfortably and...

The advantage is that the accommodation is close to the train station, and a bus stop that is convenient for traveling to other tourist destinations is also nearby. The staff responded kindly, and the cleanliness of the accommodation was satisfactory. If I come to Nara again, I would like to stay at this hotel again.

Great location for Osaka. Many things are walkable and those that aren’t the train station is just a few minutes away. The hotel is great and rooms are good sized. The breakfast buffet is decent

Train station was 5minutes walk from the hotel.
Though the room was on the smaller side, it was very fancy and had all the amenities and was well kept.
The staff was very nice and helpful as well.
They called us a taxi when we needed to get our luggage to the airport and walk us down and waited in the cold with us for the taxi to arrive. Great service!

Great stay, super clean and lovely. Room and breakfast views of the city were amazing. Loved the breakfast buffet that’s offered in the mornings, many options available. Would definitely stay here again.
