Hotels near Fukuzawa Yukich’s Birthplace, Osaka

Very expensive but God damn, they really do be hiring people that speak either English or Chinese together with Japanese! And oh my, there are just so so many staff that do! Whether that be front desk, or even housekeeping! The only ones that really don't are the ones in the restaurants or in Melissa (where they sell bread and other good food!) Or the mall downstairs! The dessert lounge weren't too friendly either but they all seem to be extensions of the hotel! Overall, great experience except for the fact that the rooms are indeed tiny and compact cause that's what we booked after all - but aside from that, all the amenities were great, toilet was big and movable in and you really have anything and everything you need already there! Only issue is maybe that some things here are pretty outdated though it's a 5 star hotel! But overall its truly worth the price though I don't reccomend staying all the time unless you wanna burn a hole in your pocket heh! But one great thing is that they are truly commendable in terms of holding events and catering to hundreds of guests for the really really big ballrooms. That's a huge plus.

Convenient for traveler as the hotel is within 50m of JR Fukushima station and 200m within non-JR Hanshin Fukushima subway station. Many small restaurants and places to eat nearby which are cheaper than the hotel meals at the 1st floor. Reception for check-in/out is at the 2nd floor. Our room with queen bed is small but accessible with creative use of space (eg. Luggage can be stored under the bed). One downside is the water tap outside the bath room does not come with hot water which is important in winter.

The location of the hotel is decent. It's a long walk from Osaka Station. There is a convenience store on the first floor of the hotel, and nearby restaurants such as Matsuya, Yoshinoya and Kame King are open until late at night. The room is very clean and the room size is okay, but the writing desk takes up a lot of space. There is a lot of space, and when you check in with children, you are given extra towels and slippers for children.

I went to the concert in Grand Cube Osaka so I stayed for two nights on Monday 〜 Wednesday. It was the first time that such a close hotel from the concert hall was very easy. However, Nakanoshima itself is a little far from the city such as Osaka and Nanba, and the subway and JR access are not good. If you stay as a base for sightseeing in Osaka, I recommend a hotel a little closer to the city or along a good access route. First of all, the price is the special mention. I can't believe it because I usually use a hotel in Kanto for about 10000 yen in twin 2 nights and 3 days even on weekdays. Check out is 10 o'clock, but you can check out late (1 hour 1000 yen per person). I extended it until 12 o'clock and added 4000 yen. The check-in was smooth by checking and disinfecting at the front desk. During my stay, the staff was polite and good. There are paper cups, instant coffee, slippers, etc. beside the front desk. The ladies' set was only cotton and cotton swab, so you should have makeup, makeup water, emulsion, etc. (the above makeup drop was written in the present and elevator in the word of mouth posting of other travel sites. I would be happy to prepare it in defo If you are put on the room rate, you may not be able to do it. There is a microwave oven in the back of the lobby at the entrance, so I could warm the meal I took back and I was able to stay in the room. I don't think it's troublesome to shop because there are seven eleven open until 23 o'clock next to the front desk. (There was also a 7-Eleven 24-hour laundry nearby) There is a laundry on the first basement floor, two drum washing dryers and 3kg 500 yen (2 hours). However, it will be closed at 22:30, so I recommend early time if you are used. In my case, I asked the front desk around 21 o'clock and extended it to too much 24 o'clock. I stayed in twin so it became a spacious corner room with 4 rooms on the 7th floor. The key is not a card key only by 1 books. As a particular good point, the hardness of the pillow and bed was perfect for my taste. I have been hit by a hotel that has a hard bed and pillow and is not very comfortable, but it was so soft and very sleepy here. I didn't expect the room facilities because there was no breakfast overnight, but the unit bus toilet is clean and hot water and shower come out at high temperature. The dryer was weak and I was fine with short hair, but my long wife was in trouble. It is no problem if you stay alone, but there is a problem that the toilet in the bath cannot be used if you stay with two people. Other hotels have toilets on the front floor, but they were not found in this hotel. The air conditioner is also effective, but the humidifier is essential because the room is very dry. The humidifier is lent at the front desk, so let's borrow it without forgetting at check-in. The outlet was on the bed pillow side, the foot window and the desk, and the charging of the smartphone and mobile battery was not inconvenient. There is free Wi-Fi, but the radio wave strength is weak and often cut off, and it was not a level that can be expected honestly. Only the dryer and Wi-Fi were now one, but overall it is very satisfying. If there is another event in the Grand Cube, it was a good hotel that I would like to use.

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 husband and I opted for an overnight stay at this hotel due to its convenient proximity to the American Embassy, where we had a visa interview scheduled for the next day. As a practical and well-equipped business hotel, it offered all the essential amenities. The staff displayed exceptional kindness and patience, with fluent English spoken by at least the check-in personnel. One highlight worth mentioning is the delightful breakfast experience. For the breakfast menu, one could choose to have a Japanese and Western style. 😄

We got a great deal with Trip and stayed on the Club floor for 2 nights. The hotel entrance was a bit hard to find when you are walking through the mall. Checked in at the Club floor and it was very efficient. Room was very spacious and very clean. Club floor experience was excellent with breakfast, afternoon tea and evening cocktails. We had particularly good experience with the afternoon cocktails as they made lots of different ones for us that was not the standard menu.

Simple no frills hotel, good if you are just looking for a hotel to have a rest after long day out. Have all the basic amenities you will need such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, foam wash, towels, toothbrush, comb, etc. You can borrow umbrella from the hotel if the day is raining. There are also washer and vending machine within the hotel. Location is walking distance away from dotonbori and the nearby subway.

The hotel has a great location, with views of Osaka Castle, and it's only 20 minutes to attractions like Osaka's Shinsaibashi. There was a concierge when we checked in. Even though we have Gold status, we stayed in an executive room, so after we checked in at the front desk, we went to the lounge to wait for our room to be ready. Once it was, our luggage had already been moved into the room. There was no welcome fruit, but there were cookies. The room is not large, 26 sqm, but it is very well-decorated, with high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a nice view. The hotel just opened in 2024, so all the facilities are very new. The hardware is well-made, and the bathroom is fully equipped with TOTO smart fixtures. The quality of the food and drinks in the lounge was quite good, and the desserts weren't too sweet. In addition to a continental breakfast, you can also enjoy some Japanese specialty snacks. The electronic room key worked well, with hardly any issues. It could be used in the gym, pool, elevator, and room. The gym isn't large, but it's well-equipped, with all Precor products. 酒店位置很好，能看到大阪城，20分钟能去到大阪心斋桥等等景点。入住时有礼宾。虽然是金卡，但是我们入住行政房，因此我们在前台办理好后就去酒廊等待房间准备就绪。在就绪后，我们的行李已经被搬进房间。没有欢迎水果，但是有曲奇。 房间不大，26sqm，但是装修很好，层高很高，有落地窗，景色不错。是2024年新开业的酒店，设施都很新，五金件很紧致，全套toto智能卫浴。 酒店的酒廊出品质量以及酒的质量都不错，甜点不腻。早餐除了欧陆早餐，还能吃到一些日本特色小食。 电子房卡好用，很少掉链子，健身房、泳池、电梯、房间均可用。健身房不大，但是设施齐全，全部都是precor的产品。

改装されたそうで、フロントもロビーも、部屋もキレイです。 ＪＲ新今宮駅を出てすぐだし、ほんとに泊まるだけなら安いです。 ただ、理解しておかなければならないのは、トイレ、お風呂は部屋にはありません。トイレは階に１か所の共同トイレ（男女別）です。お風呂は大浴場か、シャワールームの利用になります。私が利用した部屋は３畳の畳部屋。布団が一式。 土曜日でもう開いているところがなくて利用しましたが、泊まるところがなければ利用も全然ＯＫだと思います。とにかく料金が安いので、その辺は了解できます。土曜日でも３８００円でしたから。 プライベートはしっかり守られますので、カプセルホテルより断然いいです。バックパッカーとかにはおすすめです。 なので、若い学生さんや、工事関係の連泊、外国人さんなどが多いようです。 ただ、よくわかりませんが、ロビーやシャワールームって、宿泊者以外の人も利用している感じがするのは私だけなのかな？
