Ritto Vacations from ￥37,036

The room was basic and clean. The main issue was that the air conditioning was disabled in the room. There was a sign in the room stating it was controlled across the whole hotel and I wouldn't be able to turn it on. It was quite humid in Osaka when I was visiting, and the lack of AC meant I had to keep the window open the tiny amount that was allowed. This made the primary purpose of the hotel to "Just Sleep" a bit more difficult than I would have liked. If you don't mind being a little warm and sweaty during the night, you might be okay. I found it difficult to sleep and get comfortable in the warm humid nights. I would suggest calling ahead to see if the air conditioning is allowed/enabled before making a trip to this hotel. Or perhaps only go in the cooler months.

Very clean. Very convenient. Love it.

Good location, about 7mins sub-ground level walk to Hanshin Department Store, which leads to Umeda and Osaka Stations as well as Haruka express to KIX airport. Plenty of shops and restaurants on the sub ground level. (The sub-ground level shopping street closes at 11:55pm and opens at 5am) 3 lifts only serving 17 floors so can take time. Triple room size a little small compared to with Hanshin hotel but adequate. There was a dedicated smoking room on each floor so helpful as the smoking ban in Osaka streets. The only downsides for us) were some ladies touting on the street nearby and some loud cars revving at night.

Don’t count on the dryers to dry your stuff, but it was an absolutely centralized station to sleep when we had so many stops along the way. Very much liked the hotel!
