“Great Location!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

My family was in Osaka for 5 days in December 2012, and we enjoyed staying in this hotel very much.
First of all, its location is just perfect! We took the airport shuttle bus from the Kansai airport (50 minutes), and it drop us off across the street from the hotel.
The hotel is itself less than a 5 minute walk to the stations (JR/subway/train), surrounded by many department stores and all kinds of shops.
The staff was very warm and friendly, and extremely helpful with directions and tips to go around the city...
The breakfast was amazing: great selection of western and Japanese cuisine.
There's no free internet in the room. However, there're several computers for guests to use free-at-charge at the business center in the lobby.
We booked a room for 3 people, and the room was a bit cramped with the additional bed. It was not possible to walk around without putting the suitcase in the closet... However, the room was clean, tastefully decorated, and the view of Osaka city and the mountains beyond is simply breathtaking!

“Good hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 9, 2013

very nice service, very clean, and hotel staff very friendly - the only thing i think they can improve is to make the internet free of charge for everyone - after all, we have paid the room charge, and it should include the free Wi-Fi.

“Perfect location in Osaka”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 9, 2013

I stayed here on a lay-over end of December 2012. It's a bit of a train ride (1hr) to get to Osaka, but the hotel is right next to the train station of Osaka (not Shin-Osaka). The reason we stayed here was that I managed to get a good deal.

The reception staff was very friendly, although we arrived early, they upgraded us and gave us a room which was available without a wait. Which was very welcomed, we needed a bed and a shower after an 11 hour flight. The room fittings looked a bit dated, but very clean. And everything we needed was available to us in the room. There is no free internet in the room, but it's available in the lobby. There are enough seats in the lobby, so that's not a problem.

There are loads of restaurants around who offer good value food, so we didn't eat at the hotel. Also we didn't have the breakfast at the hotel, we had to check out early in the morning. Just picked up something at the train station and went back to Osaka Kansai airport.

If I would return to Osaka and could get the same deal, I would stay here again in a heart beat. You can't find a better located hotel in the center of Osaka.

“Perfect Hotel Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 2, 2013

I was in Osaka in mid December on business. I had previously stayed at the Hyatt and Sheraton Osaka but the Hilton is the best- especially at Christmas. For a Westerner, the Lobby was classically decorated for the Holiday. It is unmatched even in NYC. You will need to see the display.

The hotel is perfectly laid out with sizable rooms, sizable Buffet Breakfast and a superior but small Fitness Room (the Hyatt Fitness Center is far superior).

The staff is responsive and helpful. Overall a great experience. This Hotel is easy to get to because it is co-located near the Osaka Central Train Staton. From KIX Airport I recommend the #5 Bus which will drop you in 90 minutes around the corner from the Hotel. You simply walk up the block 50 meters and the hotel is across the street.

I highly recommend the Hilton for convenience and the overall experience.

“Too expensive for what it is”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 27, 2012

Definitely this hotel is very well located, but close to the Osaka station in the central area of the city. But the hotel is too expensive and really deserves a refurnish. The rooms, although with large spaces and beautiful views to the city, look old. The breakfast is ridiculously expensive and not special at all.
