Granbell Hotel Osaka

Hotel was well located. A bit of a walk to Dotonburi (about 20min) if you don't like walking. Plenty of places to drink and eat locally though. Rooms are modern and clean. Bathroom has nice modern tapware etc. Bedding is firm just how I like it. Buttons for the lights in the room are easy to use and understand for once compared to every other hotel in the world. Ha ha

Lovely hotel. It is located close to several stations that connect easily to the city center, Umeda and Namba station. If you're up for a small walk you can get to Dotonbori street in a 15 min walk as well! We booked a comfortable room which definitely seemed true to its description. A large comfortable bed with soft and hard pillows, a bit of extra space under the bed to leave suitcases and a magnificent view from the 11th floor. The breakfast was on the ground floor, which had plenty of options. There were also indications for products containing allergies, though some didn't specify where it was clear there were some. We liked how there was an AC unit right above the bed, making it a cool place to chill if the weather was a bit on the hotter side.

Clean small room. With all you need and even more available at reception desk. Very cost and comfortable robe for bath. Wanted even to steel it (hi-hi) Public bath is awesome. Used it twice during my one night stay. Breakfast is local style and I liked it. Good choice of local pieces and international egg choice. Location is perfect in my opinion. Loved this tourist-less district. Less than 10 min to metro station.

We recently stayed at this hotel in Osaka and had a wonderful experience overall. The location is excellent, as it’s just a short walk from the nearest metro station, which made getting around the city incredibly easy. Whether we were exploring the vibrant streets of Osaka or heading out on day trips, the convenience of being so close to public transport really enhanced our stay. The area surrounding the hotel is also a huge plus. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, so we never had to worry about where to eat or find something we needed. From cozy local eateries to international dining options, there was always something to suit our mood. And, of course, having convenience stores within walking distance made it easy to pick up snacks, drinks, or any essentials we forgot to pack. From the moment we arrived, the staff were welcoming and friendly. They were always available to assist with any questions we had, from restaurant recommendations to helping us navigate the city. Their warmth and professionalism made us feel right at home. The breakfast offered at the hotel was another highlight of our stay. There was a wide variety of choices, both Western and Japanese, and everything was fresh and delicious. We especially appreciated the ample selection, which ensured that we could try something different each morning. It was a great way to start the day before heading out to explore Osaka’s sights. Another plus was the hotel’s Wi-Fi – it was fast and reliable throughout our stay, which was really important for us as we needed to stay connected for work and to check maps and travel guides on our phones. We never experienced any issues with the connection, which made it easy to plan our daily activities. Although the hotel has an onsen on the top floor, we didn’t have the chance to try it during our stay. It looked inviting, though, and we would definitely make time for it on a future visit.

The front desk personnel were friendly and helpful. They were willing to answer questions and were very professional. Our room was clean and the decor was peaceful. The beds were comfortable, especially after 27 hours of travel. We added the breakfast option to our stay. The breakfast buffet was delicious. There were so many options. The staff was cheerful, a nice start to the day. We used the onsen, which is divided by gender. There are key lockers in the dressing room for the clothes and room keys. This was a free locker. The water felt so good on our achy muscles. There are three available washer dryer combo machines. When you turn on your TV, on the main menu, it shows if any are available. It's a really nice feature since you don't have to run up to check. The machines have a built in laundry detergent that gets dispensed when you start the machine. There is no need for you to purchase soap. The machines are 500 yen. Payable with 100 yen coins. I love the lockable feature on the machines. The code is a 4-digit code of your choosing. If your load is a larger load, it may require additional drying time. That is available for 30 minutes at 100 yen. The neighborhood is really safe. We walked back to the 24-hour Lawsons, which is about 4 blocks away, even at 11 pm. (Side note we were all females in our party). I would stay here again.
