Hearton Hotel Nishiumeda

The room isn't huge, but the beds are big enough to push together, so it's perfect for a family. The location is excellent, just a few minutes' walk to Osaka Station. The breakfast has a great variety and tastes good too. Plus, there's a water dispenser and vending machine on every floor, which is really convenient.

The room size was just right for three people. The hotel has a washing machine for 400 JPY/30 minutes and a dryer for 100 JPY/30 minutes.

The cleanliness was just okay, not as good as I'd expected. The room was a bit small, and the bathroom facilities were pretty mediocre. It might have been a bit pricey when I booked it, so I felt the value for money was just average.

The room was quite small, and directly opposite seemed to be a school, so close you could see everything clearly. It's about a 5-minute walk to the airport bus stop and roughly the same distance to the JR West Exit. This place is convenient if you're arriving and planning to take the JR to another city. However, walking to Umeda does take a bit of time.

The hotel's location is excellent. From the west exit of Osaka Station, turn right, walk straight, and cross a small road, and you're there. There's also an airport limousine bus stop nearby. There are plenty of dining options if you walk back to Osaka Station, and even more shopping opportunities since it's surrounded by malls. It was also very convenient for our trip to Universal Studios the next day! We stayed on the side not facing the railway, so it was very quiet!
