Osaka hotels near Minatomachi River Place

Pros: The hotel is located only 2-3 mins walk from subway. The hotel is very clean and comfortable to sleep. Hotel staff are good and have a prompt service.

Cons: The variety of breakfast is limited , only got a japanese breakfast set (fish) either or American Breakfast (salad and egg).

Pros: Great location.

Cons: The flow from the air conditioner goes directly to the bed side. It was very uncomfortable during sleep when the cold wind blow directly to my head & face; even if I switched to another side of the bed I can still feel the wind flow. I tried to turn off the air conditioner but it becomes too suffocating.

Pros: Comfort, cleanliness and spaciousness (by Japanese hotel standards) are exceptional. This is the second time we've stayed at the hotel in more than 5 years and there is hardly any visible wear and tear - this is clearly a very well maintained hotel. The fantastic, powerful showers are a major highlight of the room. Great location next to 2 convenience stores, a supermarket and the Kitahama subway station.

Cons: We asked for 1 extra pillow each for our party of 4 but were told only 1 extra pillow was available. After some repeated requesting, 2 were provided, Very odd that a hotel of this size would be so lacking in supplies. In general, the service (albeit polite) and facilities in this hotel are spartan. The laundry facilities were terrible, almost to the point of being a scam. The combination washer dryer machines are absolutely rubbish at drying. Even after more than 2 hours (@ 100 JPY/ 30 min), clothes were dripping wet. When the drums were manually turned, it was clear that there was still water sloshing around in the drum while the dryer function was running - basically just steaming my clothes. Had to leave clothes wet overnight until the nearest coin laundry opened in the morning to complete the laundry.

Cons: strange arrangement of the beds ; rooms quite small

Pros: nice and large room, comfy bed also large bathroom.

Cons: laundry room is on 2nd floor which is smoking floor. on 8th floor is very busy, better provide more laundry machine on 8th floor. location is not convenient for JR .

Pros: Location of the property is prime. Opposite two convenient store and right next to the Local subway. Rooms are very clean, and well maintained. Everything was perfect. Staff speaks good english and very helpful. Forgot pair of AirPods and was returned in an envelop. Would recommend this property to everyone who wants a great stay in Osaka next to Dotombori.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: This is my second stay here and always like to come back here. I LOVE the traditional set up of the rooms. And it is spacious surprisingly for OSAKA standards. And very convenient to Namba to then later take a train to KIX

Cons: Nothing much, just the waiting area could be improved where all the tourist cluster there and sort of makes it hard to get out

Pros: Great location and comfortable bed

Cons: WiFi is a little bit slow

Pros: Very clean and tatami traditional deco

Cons: Reception staff is not very polite which was odd in Japanese service culture

Cons: I don't believe I read anywhere online that it was an all nude to go the hot springs spa area, one staff member had a bad vibe(like he looked down upon me, and he wasn't even Japanese, nor am i) to him at check in and made me aggravated.. anyone else I dealt with after him was awesome and nice and friendly and helpful.

Pros: The location and staff

Cons: You need to pay for cleaning service and even we pay, the room is not what we expected ie. the trash was not trash

Cons: Onsen is poor quality

Pros: Loved the onsen, Hotel felt like an authentic experience.

Cons: A guest brought her two young children to the bath who were very noisy

Pros: Good location and nice Onsen.

Cons: Stuff was a bit rude and it was quite annoying that it it's forbidden to use shoes all over the hotel. I understand inside the room, but in the lobby I think it was too much :)

Pros: I forget my money there, they keep it with them till i received.

Cons: I recommend that im in honey moon but there was nothing there.

Pros: Location was superb. There is no better place to stay, especially if you are flying to and/or from Kansai Airport. Plenty of eateries, cafes and restaurants within a short 5 minute walk. The staff were gracious enough to give me a slightly bigger room with a king size bed although I booked the one with the queen bed. The room was too small and with a baby crib, there was almost no room to left to put our 2 luggages. Our stay would have been very trying for 7 nights if not for the generosity of your staff. We made a few changes to our booking dates but we were glad that when we arrived, the crib and baby bath tub were all ready in the room for us. Thank you so much! We will definitely recommend it to our friends.

Cons: Breakfast was really too expensive, even if you pre-order it. Our family of 2 adults plus 1 baby can easily get a proper breakfast at Starbucks for 1200 Yen. However, that’s the small issue. I would like to highlight how dangerous the baby cot could be. One side of the baby bed can be adjusted from full height to half height. Since our baby is 1 years old, he can easily stand up and grab the sides for support. To prevent from from falling over, the height was set to the highest. However, the locking mechanism has no safety feature. My son can easily touch it, meddle with it and unlock it. Because of that, the entire gate dropped on his fingers. How he managed to escape with nothing more than a fright and some pain, without any broken fingers, I will never know. I thank my lucky starts if they ever exist. We had to use shoelaces to tie the gate so that it will not drop even though the locking mechanism is not placed properly. I sincerely suggest that you relook at all the baby cribs you have in your hotel, and other chain hotels to ensure that they are all certified safe for babies. Thank you.

Pros: Excellent location.

Cons: the room was outdated and we were misled by the modern looking room advertised. The blankets were not thick enough and the pillows were too soft. Below expectations for a hotel priced so high per night. Cigarette smell detected despite staying in a non-smoking room.

Pros: Location is perfect! Well connected to the various namba stations via underground passes. Walking distance to dotonbori and shinsaibashi shopping areas. From the hotel, we just needed to take a lift down to the nankai namba station, which we took the airport express. Minimum hassle for luggage. Staff was also extremely helpful and friendly.

Cons: The room furnishings show some signs of aging and although overall room was clean, the carpet was a bit dusty and has a slight musky smell.

Pros: friendly people

Pros: We LOVED everything about this hotel! It was above and beyond all we hoped for! The room, the food, (front desk staff)- all amazing! We will stay there every time we visit Osaka!

Cons: Would love for at least one restaurant and bar to stay open later.

Cons: nope...loved it all

Pros: The location is great, it's convenient to almost anywhere including kansai airport

Cons: The hotel is right above the train tracks, my room was in the 16 floor, the noise from train is constantly annoying almost all day except 12AM~5AM, when there are no trains.

Pros: Excellent location. Room is comfortable and staff is friendly and helpful. Love the pyjamas provided and a variety of pillows we could order.

Pros: Fantastic location.

Pros: Check-in was easy, our room was a good size, comfortable, nice large and clean bathroom. We appreciated the slippers, pajamas and toiletries. The location was excellent with Dotonburi right outside the door and there was even a 7-11 shop accessible without going outside the hotel. Check-out was easy, just drop off the key and go.

Pros: Location is fantastic, near all the good places to eat. Comfortable bed and spacious bathroom. Very convenient with 7-11 on the ground floor.
