[2025 Osaka Stay] Travel Guide for Ibis Osaka Umeda (Updated May)

Just got back from fighting in Osaka! In five days and four nights, I visited all the popular attractions and shopping routes, and compiled a super practical guide for everyone~ I traveled all over Kansai by subway, and used an electronic watermelon card on my iPhone to handle transportation. I can directly read the notes 👇 🏨 Accommodation recommendation: Ibis Osaka Umeda 🌟🌟🌟 ✅ Advantages: Cheap, clean, great location! The door is right at Umeda Station, which provides direct access to Nara, Kyoto, and Universal Studios. ✅ Transportation: Airport bus 1800 yen 💴 50 minutes to Umeda, a must for lazy people ✅ Room rate: 400-600 yen per person per night, student-friendly 🚇 Transportation Guide: Xigua Card Travels Around the World 🍉 Electronic Suica Card: Add "Suica" directly to Apple Wallet, and scan the code to enter the station after recharging. It is less likely to be lost than a physical card! 🚇 Average daily transportation cost: about 800-1200 yen (round trip within the city + cross-city) #Osaka Itinerary

#Overseas travel #December travel support event #Osaka travel #Ibis Osaka Umeda #Accor Hotel #Umeda Hotel recommendation Osaka Umeda Station cost-effective hotel [Ibis Osaka Umeda] As an Accor Plus membership member, I usually use Accor hotels when I travel abroad. I was satisfied after staying at Ibis Styles Tokyo Ginza in Tokyo, so I had high expectations this time too.. um.. I'm leaving an honest review! [Location, accessibility] From Osaka Kansai Airport, take the Haruka Express > Get off at Osaka Station! It's a 3-minute walk from Umeda Station If you come up from Osaka Tomituni Life Building, you can find Ibis Osaka Umeda almost right away. When I went to check in on the first day, I didn't know if I could go through the underground passage, so I crossed several large roads in the chilly weather, but after that, I moved comfortably through the underground passage every time I went back and forth. [Accor Plus Benefits] Welcome drink, late checkout When they told me to go up because check-in was complete, I asked how I could use the welcome drink, and only then did they start checking. It was already past the coffee shop closing time, so they said there was only one drink available, so I just got two of those. (Unfortunate...ㅠㅠ) Late check-out was possible until 2pm, but Universal Studios was scheduled to open.. [Disappointing] I stayed there to upgrade my Accor member silver to gold, but strangely, Ibis hotels are often cheaper when you book through a travel platform. (This time was the case too) And the fact that the hotel doesn't provide bottled water.. It was a little.. Overall, the price is in the early to mid 100,000 won range for a Friday/Saturday stay, so it's good for a light stay after a late arrival, but as an Accor member, it's not a place I would necessarily book again. ㅠㅠ I recommend Trip.com for the cheaper price!

📍Address: IBIS, Osaka Location: The hotel is near Osaka Station. There is an exit 772 in the underground shopping district of Umeda Subway Station that leads directly to the hotel entrance. If you can't find it, you can use the navigation to guide you to Exit 722. If you don't want to go underground, navigate to the Hankyu Higashi-dori shopping street on the ground and then walk through. It is strongly recommended not to look at the general direction and walk by feeling. The hotel entrance is small and the sign is not conspicuous. It is easy to get lost if you look for it this way. 😎 Check-in and check-out: When checking in, the front desk explained a lot of things to note, and then collected 200 yen accommodation tax, and did not ask for a deposit. All in all, it was quite smooth. Just return the room card when you check out. 🤯😘 Member benefits: Platinum members who booked a basic room seemed to be upgraded to a standard king room (high floor, the king-size bed looked like two single beds put together), and received a welcome drink coupon, which could be exchanged for two boxes of soft drinks or a can of alcoholic beverage at the front desk every day. The check-out time printed on the note sheet given by the front desk was changed to a handwritten check-out time of 14:00, which may be because this hotel allows members to check out later by default. 🏖️ 🏖️Environment/Facilities: The room is not big, but overall it is very clean, without any peculiar smell. It is close to the main road and there is not much noise. There is not much scenery to see outside the window. I am more curious about whether the smart toilet and coffee machine are also standard features of Ibis! 🔥 Food and Beverage: The breakfast is quite good. For a budget hotel, it can provide no less than 20 kinds of Western and Japanese dishes, which is really enough and the taste is also OK. 🥰 Cleanliness: No problem🔥🏖️ Cost-effectiveness: There was an activity at that time and the price was over 300 yuan during the week and 500 to 600 yuan on weekends. Now, the price of A+ on weekdays is over 400 or almost 500 yuan, and it will double on weekends and holidays. However, the base price is not high, and the increase will not be much, so I still think it is very cost-effective and suitable for people who don’t want to spend too much money on hotels. 🥰🤗🤩 #hotel #Japan #Osaka #hotelrecommendation #discovertreasurehotel #tourism #travel #Osaka Hotel

Highly recommended for your trip to Osaka. #ibisosakaumeda #comfortablestay #recommendation #osakatrip

#HotelAccommodationEvent The location is good, the room is clean and comfortable. The bathroom was clean, the water pressure was good, and the view from room 1405 was great. However, it is too narrow. Especially, the area where the sink is is really really narrow. There is no storage space, so all my cosmetics spilled out. That part is a bit disappointing.

Ibis Osaka Umeda is very conveniently located. It is very convenient to take any means of transportation. There is an airport bus that goes directly to Umeda. After getting off the bus, it is within a ten-minute walk to the destination. The hotel staff are also very friendly. The breakfast buffet was more varied than I expected and tasted great. The hotel has an elevator 🛗 to the underground street, where there are delicious pancakes 🥞

Stepping into the twin room of the Ibis Osaka Umeda Hotel, the first thing that caught my eye was the room's simple and stylish design. The bright and airy space made the entire room feel more open and comfortable. The twin bed design provides more space for travelers, with mattresses that are comfortable and soft, allowing one to relax both body and mind after a tiring journey. I particularly like the design of the headboard, which includes sockets and reading lights, convenient for reading at night or using smart devices. The bathroom facilities are clean and modern, with a shower that has ample water pressure, adding much enjoyment to a comfortable shower experience. The quality of the toiletries provided in the bathroom makes one feel right at home. Overall, the twin room at the Ibis Osaka Umeda Hotel provided me with a comfortable, convenient, and pleasant stay, allowing me to fully relax and rest during my travels.

#AccommodationReview I stayed at Ibis Osaka Umeda. This is not Styles but the original Ibis Hotel. The rooms are compact, but the best thing about this hotel is that it is directly connected to the underground mall, so you can access it without getting wet even on rainy days. The breakfast is European style, and the croissants in particular are delicious!
