CANDEO HOTELS Properties in Osaka

First, the check-in process was smooth; the staff explained everything clearly and communicated entirely in English. The room wasn't very big—it was actually quite small, and I could barely lay my 28-inch suitcase flat. My main dissatisfaction was that the trash wasn't emptied daily. Every day I had to call the front desk to ask staff to come and take it away! This was especially frustrating because, both at check-in and on the information sheet, it was explicitly stated that room trash would be emptied daily. Given the already hot weather, the small room felt unsanitary.

The room was quite spacious, as advertised online. However, the sofa by the window sill didn't appear very clean under the lighting. The hotel offers a public bath and is conveniently located near Universal Studios. It was promoted as being the closest to the subway station, and one of the slightly more distant options from Universal itself. But in practice, all the hotels in this area are just a short walk from one another. With restaurants, 7-Eleven, Lawson, and Starbucks nearby, it's very convenient. The best part about staying near Universal is being able to enjoy the park until its 10 PM closing time, then grab a late dinner nearby before heading back to the hotel to unwind.

While the hotel's location is a bit far from the city center, its direct connection to the station made commuting very convenient. The public bath facilities were excellent. However, one of the front desk staff members (I believe they were either Indian or Thai) was quite unfriendly. Other than that, the breakfast was delicious, and the breakfast staff were exceptionally friendly. The room, for a 3-star hotel, was clean and well-maintained, although I did notice some dust. Haha. Overall, I had a good stay.

The hotel's location is pretty good, about 600 meters from the subway station, which makes it easy to take the subway to popular shopping areas. It's only a couple of stops to places like Namba, Shinsaibashi, and Dotonbori. The room itself was nothing special, but the view was nice. The rooftop hot spring is excellent, especially the outdoor one—soaking in the hot spring while enjoying the night view was a fantastic experience.

A hotel with a lot of character. Mitsudera Temple is conveniently located right on the ground floor. The hotel lobby is on the fourth floor, and you step right out into Shinsaibashi. Nankai Namba Station and the subway station are only 300-400 meters away, making it very convenient for day trips to Nara and Kyoto. If you're heading to Tokyo, you can catch the Shinkansen from Shin-Osaka. Whenever I come to Osaka, I always choose to stay in the Shinsaibashi area. Overall, the hotel is excellent.

This hotel is super close to Hirakata Station and very easy to find, with a shopping mall right downstairs. There's also a 7-Eleven nearby, which is very convenient. They even provided us with instructions in Chinese for check-in, and the check-in and check-out process was incredibly fast. The hotel facilities are well-equipped, with a modern wet and dry separation in the bathroom. The view is amazing, overlooking all of Hirakata. Plus, it's super convenient to get to Kyoto and Nara, with excellent transportation links. The only slight hassle is getting here from the airport. I didn't get to experience the hot spring on the 26th floor this time, but I'll definitely go next time. There's also a Daiki Suisan Sushi restaurant right in the downstairs mall.

I used to live in Nara but now live far away, so I stayed here for the first time when visiting a friend. This hotel is located in front of the station, so it was very convenient. I often go to the drinking district around Yagi Station, and it was great that no matter how much I drink, the hotel was always so close by! The interior of the facility was also very clean, and it was well-maintained. The bath and open-air bath on the top floor were also great. This time I only stayed overnight, so I would like to try breakfast next time.
