New Otani Hotel, Osaka 2009.12.01
Recommended Trip type: With Friends "Definately Four Stars"

Reviewed by Ron of San Diego, on Dec 1, 2009

This is definately a business oriented hotel, but that said it is a great facility. Across the river from the Osaka Castle grounds with subway and above ground rail stations just a short walk away to anywhere else in the city. Conceirge and many other employee's spoke good English. Service all around is just excellant as you would expect from an upper class Japanese hotel. Family types may want to stay closer to the more normal attractions like the Universal Studios & Osaka Harbor attractions. Besides the Osaka Castle, Nara a World Heritage Site is only 40 minutes from the hotel via express train. Osaka Tower and shopping area is only 20 minutes away by rail. For my purposes a fantastic hotel.

Not recommended Trip type: All Others "Osaka's Premier Location"

Reviewed by D of Wiltshire on Sep 9, 2008

Having selected the Hotel for a six night stay I was delighted with it's location and standard of service. Great for the Osaka JR Loop Line for transfer to Shin Osaka for Bullet train etc. Fantastic view of the castle and Park and having seen the rest of Osaka I am glad that I chose this hotel. The big downside for me was the extortionate cost of using the leisure facilities! Anyone wnating to make use of these facilities had better be prepared for a large bill at the end of the stay.

Recommended Trip type: All Others "un peu excentré mais au calme"

Reviewed by M of Rueil-Malmaison on Nov 10, 2008

Au premier abord, l'hôtel semble excentré au bord de la rivière, ce qui est finalement un avantage compte tenu de la folie du centre d'Osaka. 2 stations de métro tout près, la loop line qui dessert l'aquarium et universal studios, et la station business park pour aller également dans le centre. Des galeries marchandes et plusieurs restaurants à proximité en sortant par l'arrière de l'hôtel.
