Imperial Osaka

“Perfect Osaka stay.”

We are a family of three adults and spent two nights at this hotel. It was easy to access from the train station, and was a good base from which to explore the region. The room accommodated the three of us comfortably, was clean, and had all amenities we needed.

“Worth every one of its 5 stars”

After staying in a couple of mid range hotels in Japan it was a real treat checking in to the Imperial Hotel Osaka. From the moment I arrived I could already tell why it came so highly recommended. The level of service was incredible and after tripping over myself in tiny hotel rooms, it was so nice to have a hotel room with space! Wardrobe, desk, chair, a place for your suitcase… These may seem like basic things but they make all the difference! I loved the traditional pyjamas provided, the bathroom amenities were wonderful and the shower! I am going to miss that shower - just heavenly. The hotel is a little bit further out from the action and I can appreciate that if I’d been staying in Osaka longer, it may have been more efficient to stay in the Minami Ward. However, for the time I was here I managed very well with my 10 minute walk to Sakuranomiya station. In addition to running along the Osaka Loop Line It’s a JR station so I managed to book all my upcoming travel on the bullet trains and Narita Express. Very handy! There is also a Lawson’s right next to the station and there’s an entrance to the hotel right next to the river walkway so you can zip right in when you get back from a day’s exploration. (Just be mindful that the riverside exit closes at night so you’ll need to walk to the main entrance or there’s a phone there and you can call the front desk to have someone let you in). Free tea, coffee and mineral water in the room were most welcome and the view was spectacular! I was on the 18th floor which was gave me some amazing views of the city in the morning and night. I didn’t eat at any of the restaurants but did order room service after a particularly tiring day. It wasn’t great but they were very accommodating of my dietary requirements and were very apologetic when they ran out of an item I ordered. I’d stick to eating in Dotonburi… Overall, I loved my stay at the Imperial and would happily go back.

“Great river view and large room comparing the other hotels in Japan”

Little bit old style Japanese hotel brand named "Imperial Hotel", but good size room and high grade service with kind people at the hotel made our trip can have good memory at this hotel. The most good point of this hotel is excellent location who want to take real rest with no people. The river ... more

The most good point of this hotel is excellent location who want to take real rest with no people. The river view is also great and perfect to have jogging along the river jogging course.

“Amazing breakfast. Good location. Fitness/pool area not free of charge to hotel guests.”

Delicious and large breakfast buffet, with both Japanese and international food. There is also an option for traditional Japanese breakfast trays. Comfortable room and beds and a deep bathtub.

Delicious and large breakfast buffet, with both Japanese and international food. There is also an option for traditional Japanese breakfast trays. Comfortable room and beds and a deep bathtub. Staff is friendly and helpful. Nice location along the river with walking/running paths and coffee shops and other amenities near by. A short walk to the closest JR station. There is a shuttle bus to Osaka station with fixed departure times. The only disappointment is that the fitness room and pool is not available to hotel guests unless you pay a 2200 yen fee each time you want to visit (not per day or per stay but per occasion, so if you want to go to the fitness room in the morning and to the pool at night you would have to pay twice).
