IMPORTANT NOTE: Even though this hotel is marketed as being in Umeda, it's actually much nearer to the Nakatsu metro station on Midosuji Line. So those coming from the airport express from Namba should travel one station more and alight at Nakatsu. That said, it's just a short 5-min walk to the massive Umeda station and its underground mall. Once... More

We stayed two nights in this hotel eary april 2013. Short, easy walk from Umeda station which was nice as we arrived by train from Kyoto. Hotel is situated in a quiet area but close enough to restaurants and shops. We did not have breakfast here, but a nice Starbucks is near the hotel. There is no bar, but we... More

We liked our stay at this Hotel. It's a 10 minute walk (with luggage) from where the airport limousine dropped us. By walking through the streets (not the subway) and with a little bit of direction from the police ("go straight ahead"), we easily located it. The area is surprisingly quiet and serene; a catholic church stands beside the hotel.... More

This hotel is in a perfect location near the train and subway stations. Nearby you can enjoy the shops and restaurants of Umeda. The rooms where very small but looked modern. I guess it is ok considering the price of the rooms. The hotel does not have much extra's but for us it is more or less a place to... More

It is 10 min walk from both Osaka and Umeda stations or 3 min from the nearest underground. Room service was excellent - everything was spotless. All the reception staff spoke English with sufficient fluency. As my title states, it is near the Catholic church which also has Sunday masses in English. There are a few small food stores around...

Full review found here: http://micamae.wordpress.com/2013/03/27/kaladkarin-the-japan-edition-hearton-hotel-kitaumeda-osaka/ We booked the hotel via Booking.com. We did not even check if our reservation was valid but good enough, they had five rooms prepared which were located side by side each other. That is one plus point because not all hotels can give a number of rooms which are located near each other. Each room... More

We stayed for 6 nights in March and the hotel is about a 10 minute walk from Osaka city train station and 5 minutes from Umeda station - it is an easy walk and their are lifts / escalators in the station so you can get luggage up and down the stairs easily. It was a bit tricky to find... More

Stayed in this hotel last month for about a week, location of hotel is fairly good, one subway station away from JR Osaka, the downside is that the it cost 200yen to travel to JR Osaka by subway, you might as well walk to the station which is supposed to take only 10 mins. (Didn't tried walking cos we were... More

From Nakatsu exit 4, turn left from the road, walk straight pass the Family Mart (convenience store), hotel is on the right. -Professional counter staff, proficient in English... More
