Hotel Vischio Osaka by Granvia, Osaka

One of the cleanest and greatest hotels I've stayed at. The location is perfect since it's right next to Osaka/Umeda station, and there is a lot to see and do in the area as well. I would definitely recommend it to anyone planning a trip there.

A fantastic property! The Hotel Vischio Osaka is quite new and the amenities and service show it. Common areas and the room were clean, sleek and comfortable. As with everywhere in Japan, the staff were friendly and professional. If needed, English conversation is no problem. The luggage hold, pre check-in and post check-out, is hassle free. There's a restaurant and café onsite if that is your thing. The Wi-Fi is solid. Located just around the corner from both Osaka Station and the Umeda Sky Building. The hotel front entry is a short walk from both of these key spots (Kita District). The bright and bustling Dōtonbori neighborhood is a quick train ride to the south. Osaka Castle (Ōsakajō) is to the east. Every downtown district offers exceptional cuisine choices. You cannot go wrong. Highly recommend this hotel for a wonderful stop in a great city! Should future travels go through Osaka, then staying here again will be the plan.

Very convenient and new. Very close to Osaka station and between the hotel and the station, there is nice shopping mall. You will find lots of interesting stores and restaurants.

The hotel itself is very new, clean and in a great location. That said, some things, like no entrance for taxis and cars make arriving and departing with luggage a bit inconvenient. The front desk could be a little more friendly and willing to offer tips and advice. I understand that maybe the staff is still learning the "ropes" since the property is brand new, they don't have all the answers that guests may need to know. The in-room safe was a nice amenity that many hotels don't offer. Back to location, I was there when the typhoon was ongoing, and being that Vischio was right across the street from Grand Front Mall, it made going to Osaka Station a breeze. You just had to duck into Grand Front North go through Grand Front South and into Osaka Station without getting wet, all under cover. I would stay there when I return to Osaka next year, but checking the room rates, I learned that Vischio has increased the rates quite a bit. I don't I can afford to stay there again.

The hotel just opened in the beginning of June and was already crowded. Everything was excellent with clean room, friendly staff, and great location (across the street from Grand Front shopping mall next to Osaka JR station). The room that I stayed in was not very spacious, so check the size of the room before booking. Otherwise, it is a great new hotel near Osaka/Umeda station.
