"Staff was very friendly and helpful! Felt very at home despite being thousands of miles away from home. There aren’t too many restaurants or shops within walking distance, however very close to the train station which gets you to Sannomiya within 10 mins! Our room and bathroom were very neat and comfortable (the pic I uploaded is the day we left, so don’t think that’s how we walked into it the first day!). I was able to walk and/or take the train to my work conference at the conference center...

Top Kobe Science Museum Hotel Reviews

Grand Prince Hotel Osaka Bay

8/10 Good

"Overall good hotel just pool rules book to use it’s a joke"

Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great from staff to cleanliness. Location also perfect within few minutes walking distance to main train and subway stations."

LIBER HOTEL OSAKA

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is absolutely gorgeous. From the moment we entered the hotel, we were extremely impressed because it was beyond what we expected. The bath house was very nice, and the breakfast was amazing! So many tourists were taking a video of the breakfast buffet because it was nothing like we have ever seen. Although it had a very high-end feel, our kids were very welcomed and they thought the experience there was fantastic. Universal studio was just a quick 10 min walk, or one train stop away. We would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a luxurious experience with an amazing breakfast and onsen!"
