Our first stay at the Shin Osaka Station Hotel. My family and I stayed there as it was very close to the Shin Osaka station and considering that it was winter, close proximity to the station is an advantage. I am glad we picked this hotel. Very cozy, low rise hotel with very gracious and polite front counter staff. With luggages, just follow the directions given in the hotel website, proceed to the east exit at Shin Osaka station, take the lift down to ground level and follow the guide to the hotel. About 5-10 mins. Without luggage, just a 5 mins walk from the hotel, across the overhead bridge (green) and you will reach the central south entrance of the station. Very easy and convenient. There are eateries that open 24 hours near the hotel if you need to grab a late night supper. Lawson is just round the corner so it is extremely convenient. Our stay includes breakfast and the hotel staff will ask us to select at the end of each day for the next day's breakfast. They have western (sandwich) or Japanese (either slice of salmon or mackerel). The drinks (orange juice, water, coffee, tea) is free flow and there are side dishes in buffet style, with miso soup. Personally I would recommend the Japanese breakfast. Neat, tasty, not too filling, appetising. There is also a selection of shampoo, face cleanser, moisturiser, both wash, hair brush and wash cloth, made available near the counter. You can pick and choose daily. Lift is small, fits about 3 pax with 24inch luggages. Rooms are clean and neat. Toilet bowl has a heating element that warms the seat. So it is very comfortable during winter.Pillow is a bit hard but still comfortable. Although the hotel still uses the traditional keys to the rooms but it is functional. Overall, a very pleasant stay. I would return to this hotel when I visit Osaka again.

“Convenient location for Shin-Osaka Station”

I chose this hotel merely for its location: near Shin-Osaka Station. The reason is my flights arrived in and departed from Kansai International Airport. The express train (Haruka) from Kansai Airport does not stop at Umeda/Osaka station but at Shin-Osaka Station. I therefore prefer to stay near Shin-Osaka Station so that it will be easier for me to carry my luggage between the hotel and the train. The hotel is within a short walking distance from the East Exit of Shin-Osaka Station where there is an elevator. If you do not have too many suitcases, it will not be inconvenient. As it is in the area of the Shin-Osaka Station, it is much quieter than Umeda/Osaka. Including those inside the shopping mall complex of the Shin-Osaka Station, there are some restaurants. It is in any case easy to go to Umeda on the subway. Regarding the hotel, one matter definitely needs improvement. The water temperature in the shower was very unstable. Even after you thought you have set a right temperature, the water could suddenly turn hotter or colder. When it turned hotter and I tried to add a little bit of cold water, it became very cold. I then tried to add a little bit of hot water, it then became very hot. The hotel management needs to look into this issue. A hotel guest may catch a cold because of this. Finally, a minor matter: while this hotel, like other Japanese hotels, provides slippers, toothbrush and razor, it does not provide shower cap.
