The hotel was okay if you’re not going to spend a lot of time in the room. The view was limited at best and the room was typically small but sufficient. I was told the tower had better rooms but I guess you get what you pay for. There are plenty of western friendly connections throughout for all your electrical... More

The hotel is very good and spaces are wide and well furnished. The service is good. Restaurants are ok.the standard rooms are not so wide and seems to be ten years ago. It is well connected with the city with a very near station.

Very friendly staff, especially from the concierge desk. Room is big when comparing with normal Japanese hotels. Good quite location albeit a bit away from shopping arcades. Have frequent free shuttle bus and a small metro link to other major underground stations.

Ideal for the business traveler as is centrally located with a business centre in the adjacent building and sakura flowers blossoming outside. Rihga Royal has small rooms but its lobby remains very busy as it is a large hotel. There is a small shopping complex in the basement and the breakfast restaurant called , Remone, remains very busy from 7... More

Wow, from 25 degree Taichung city to 2 degree Osaka, that hit. Arrived at the Rihga to typical Japanese service and efficiency. Check in for the group I was hosting was simple and easy, no delays and sent to the rooms. First problem though is that many people have been placed into smoking rooms or on smoking floors. Of the...

Had a great stay, the Rhiga is a huge , but very nice Hotel with reasonable prices. Food options were excellent and location quite good. To use the gym and pool facilities was extra and not worth the hefty cost.

This hotel was booked for me for a business trip. I would not choose it for personal travel. I was given a very small room. And if you don't smoke - be sure to ask for NON SMOKING! At first I was given a smoking room and it had a terrible odor. The hotel itself is impressive, with a ton... More

This hotel is massive and has the usual issues of a large hotel. Check in and checkout can take time, luggage piles up in the foyer and what time breakfast actually finishes was difficult to find out. The pluses are, its functional and a good quality base to stay while you look around Osaka. the free shuttle bus to the... More
