This is our last stop in Japan, Osaka. We booked the hotel because of its location - near the Osaka station. All in all it was ok - compared to the other places we stayed in Japan, which were both really great, I guess this one was quite average, but it has suited us nontheless.

The first room we were led to had 2 single beds, despite our request for a king. So we rang and they swapped it for us quickly, but to a lower floor. The staff was professional and friendly. The room was clean and spacious, although a little bit dated.

The hotel is located in a business area so during the weekend there's not a lot going on - there are some expensive department stores nearby but we had to take the metro to do proper shopping. However this is not a problem as the metro in Osaka is also pretty efficient. All in all I would say this is an ok Hilton hotel, but if you are paying a lot then you might expect a bit higher standard.

room was nice..comfy bed..
room view of the office building opposite..(could still see people working @ past 11pm)

splendid location in front of JR station..

breakfast buffet was nice...loved the specially brewed coffee in a pot for each person..
stayed here for one nite and was gone early in the morning...

I do travel alot, let me start with that. My company pays for my hotels, but I know this place is expensive. The room. as a previous posted noted are a nice size by japaneze standards and I found the bed to be very comfortable. i have access to the exec lounge and was disappointed with the food choices for breakfast and happy hour. the only thing recognizable to me was scrambled eggs but even those were so watery i have my doubts. canapes in the evening are Japaneze surprizes. The exec lounge would not allow me to take a glass of juice out of the lounge. Having been in Japan a week, I was craving a nice burger. I walked out of the hotel a block and found an outback steakhouse. the location of this hotel has everything one would need around it.

As another previous posted noted, you must operate the button inside the door ifyou want the room made up and/or not to be disturbed. Housekeeping was in my room within 5 minutes of me turning on the make up room button.

Fitness center is okay. I did work out, but didn't feel comfortable swimming. I am a female with a tattoo and I know the japaneze frown on tattoos. There were only men in the fitness center when I was there and only Japaneze men in the pool. So although I won't give up my workouts, I passed on the pool. Although its pouring today and I would love a swim.

I thought I had no english TV, because even CNN and BBC was being voiced over in Japaneze, but I researched the TV instructions and found a bilingual buttom to inactive that voice over. So I did have about four stations in enlighs. Two news, discovery and a movie channel.

Overall, I guess its an okay hotel. But I'll seek out a marriott next time.

A very well locate hotel, right in front of the central station of Osaka. But the service for a five star hotel is below average. I've stay in the executive floor, and I've to say that the breakfast was poor. Is the first hotel where i don´t find orange juice in the morning. The food aren't tasteful. The canapés in the evening are very poor. Is not a Hilton Hotel, like others where i saty. One day i forgot turn down the light to not disturb, and the housekeepers don't make the room. Nobody ask me and nobody call to the room to know if theres another problem. THIS IS A 5 STAR HOTEL WHERE WE PAY TO MUCH FOR THE SERVICE.
