Reviews and Ratings
The Royal Hotel offers a mixed experience with its warm rooms and a somewhat generic feel. The service was up and down, with friendly but unexplained 'rule' apologies. The location provides a taste of Osaka nearby, but the dining options might leave some wanting more.
The hotel offers large rooms with all amenities expected in a 5-star hotel, but the dining options could be improved. The service is excellent with helpful and multilingual staff. The location provides quick access to Osaka's main attractions, but the dining experience falls short for health-conscious guests.
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The room had a romantic view just in front of a wall, perfect for a honeymoon getaway. The air conditioning was very generous and added to the ambiance. The value for the price paid was excellent, especially considering that this may be part of the older section of the hotel.
The hotel is conveniently located near my business meeting spot, the rooms were cozy and clean, but lack basic facilities and proper ventilation. The service was welcoming and attentive, despite some language barriers. The dining experience was good, with a wide selection but not abundant. The hotel is average in terms of facilities but offers good value for money.
The hotel's older part, which I believe was nice and comfortable and very well-equipped. However, the room was dusty and stuffed with furniture. The service was super friendly and accommodating, especially at the huge conference center. The location offered prime shopping and a taste of Osaka nearby, but it was a bit far from the subway station. The dining, included as part of the hotel package, was excellent. Overall, a mixed experience with some highlights and drawbacks.
The hotel's location is convenient with quick access to Osaka's city center, stations, and entertainment areas. The rooms are small but very clean, and the service is accommodating and helpful despite some language challenges. The dining options are good but on the expensive side.
I stayed in the luxury section of the hotel and found the rooms to be very spacious, clean, comfortable, and equipped with a small breakfast cafe offering yogurt, juice, coffee, tea, breads, and rolls. The service was excellent with staff willing to assist with luggage, recommend local restaurants within walking distance, and provide helpful local information. The location, though further out than expected, served its purpose well, especially for accessing the Osaka Internatinal Convention Center. The dining experience was sumptuous with a varied selection of Japanese and western foods. Overall, a great stay with friendly staff and comfortable amenities.
Staying on the presidential floors exceeded my expectations with top-notch service and cleanliness, offering two bathrooms for extra convenience. While the hotel was nice overall, it may be more than what some travelers need for their stay.
I had a pleasant stay in the hotel with clean and comfy rooms and incredibly friendly staff. The rooms, although well-equipped, were a bit small for our liking, not leaving much space for our luggage. The service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to help us with our needs. The location, while not as close to the train station as we preferred, was convenient for exploring other neighborhoods and attractions. The dining experience offered a variety of food choices, but the setup could have been more pleasant. Overall, a good value for money stay with some minor drawbacks.
I was impressed by the hotel's convenient location near the subway and its direct access to Osaka Castle via the train station above. The service was efficient and helpful, although some language barriers were noted. The dining options were average with limited choices for vegans and vegetarians. The clean and spacious rooms could use a refresh but offered good value for the price.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. The rooms, while surprisingly small for a fancy hotel, were clean and spacious in the luxury section we booked, complete with a small breakfast cafe offering a variety of items. The service was friendly and helpful, although there were language constraints with English. The location was ideal for my meeting schedules nearby but lacked direct shuttle service to Osaka JR station. The dining options, though sumptuous and delicious, had limited healthier choices. Overall, the hotel provided a pleasant stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel offers stunning views and a massive bed in the rooms, but they are a bit tiny with limited storage space. The service was generally helpful and friendly, although there were moments of abruptness. The location is perfect for exploring the downtown area, especially for those with nearby meetings. The dining options were rather expensive and not suitable for health-conscious guests. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives at this hotel.
I was delighted with my stay at the hotel. The rooms were impeccably clean, and the bed was comfortably sufficient. Staying on the presidential floors exceeded my expectations with the exceptional level of service provided, although it might be more than what some need. The separate shower, toilet, and bath setup in the room was a thoughtful touch, and the complimentary shuttle service to Osaka Station was convenient. At a rate of JPY 11,000 per night, the room provided great value for money.
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with a big bathroom, but the TV sets are outdated. The service is polite but not particularly friendly, and they were not accommodating of special requests. The location is convenient for accessing Osaka's city center and attractions, but not within major train stations. The dining experience has a great selection of foods but lacks options for vegans and vegetarians.
I stayed in a room at the luxury section on the 13th floor of the west wind. The twin bedded room was a very good size with lovely river views. The small breakfast cafe provided yogurt, juice, coffee, tea, and breads and rolls. The hotel didn't quite meet 5-star standards, but the location and views were impressive.
