Hot Springs Hotels in Osaka Prefecture, Japan

The hotel was inflexible about changing rooms unless it was the same room type. However, the location is great. I'd choose to stay here again next time for several reasons. First, it's very close to Solaniwa Onsen, which is open from 11 AM to 11 PM. This is a perfect option for those with an early check-out and a late flight. Second, there are a few good restaurants nearby, located on the upper floor of the mall between the hotel and Solaniwa Onsen (see attached photos). Third, the city view from the 51st floor during breakfast or dinner is absolutely worth checking out. Fourth, you can take the subway directly to Kansai Airport without any transfers. Just pay attention to the announcements; about two stops before the airport, the train splits, so make sure you're in the correct car. The front desk also has staff who speak Chinese!

When we first arrived, we went through the wrong entrance, and the front desk staff came down to meet us. The location is excellent; you just cross a pedestrian bridge outside and you're at the subway station. The service was fantastic. We were even more pleasantly surprised when we entered the room—it's definitely a very spacious room for Japan. We had no problem opening all three of our suitcases. The room facilities are very comprehensive. Every day, housekeeping cleaned the room thoroughly and replenished everything. We will definitely stay at this hotel again next time we visit Osaka.

I highly recommend opting for the Executive Twin Room. The size and layout are much more suitable and comfortable. The standard room feels a bit lacking, haha. 😂 A big thanks to the Trip.com customer service for helping communicate with the hotel and resolving my issue!

We booked a two-night stay to fully immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of Japanese traditions. We thoroughly enjoyed everything – the very friendly staff, traditional Japanese dishes, the hot spring, and comfortable futons to sleep on. We had two breakfasts, two dinners, and an additional lunch. All the dishes were varied and unique. The first dinner was Japanese traditional Kaiseki, and for the second, we chose Japanese wagyu beef Shabushabu. We absolutely loved everything, and the Shabushabu was simply amazing! We spent the day strolling through the picturesque surroundings. It was very hot, and afterward, we enjoyed visiting the on-site pool. The ryokan is conveniently located, a quick train ride from Osaka. A huge thank you to the staff for such a unique stay!

Facilities: Excellent, exceeded expectations. Upon entering the hotel, you take off your shoes and store them in a locker. Check-in was fully self-service via a machine, which was very convenient. The rooftop hot spring was a must every night, so relaxing. After soaking, there were free popsicles to enjoy. The room had great blackout curtains and was quiet. Restaurant: Free ramen was available in the evenings, and it was delicious. You could even buy an onsen egg from the Lawson downstairs to go with it, truly tasty. Breakfast was bountiful, and although I thought I might not be used to the food, it was actually very good. Location: The location is great. Surrounded by office buildings, it's very quiet at night, much quieter than the Shinsaibashi branch.

Natural Hot Spring Asagiri-no-Yu Dormy Inn Premium Namba Annex Stay: A Perfect Blend of Convenience and Japanese Hospitality My stay at Dormy Inn Premium Namba Annex was a delightful surprise. Nestled in the bustling Namba district, I discovered a hidden gem offering an immersive natural hot spring experience—a true 'small but certain happiness.' **Location is the biggest highlight:** The hotel is just a 5-minute walk from Namba Station, surrounded by pharmacies, izakayas, and department stores. It's incredibly convenient for returning after an evening of shopping, making it a godsend for travelers looking to explore Osaka extensively. **Hot spring experience exceeded expectations:** 'Asagiri-no-Yu' is the hotel's centerpiece. While not huge, the natural hot spring water felt wonderful, leaving my skin smooth. There are indoor and outdoor baths, with simple greenery adorning the outdoor area. Soaking in the hot spring while enjoying the evening breeze instantly melted away the day's fatigue. Do note that the public hot springs have separate male and female hours, so remember to check the schedule upon check-in. **Room design is practical and thoughtful:** We chose a Japanese-Western style room. It wasn't exceptionally spacious, but the storage was excellent, allowing us to fully open our luggage without feeling cramped. The yukata (Japanese robes) were of good quality and added to the ambiance for photos. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, and toiletries were comprehensive—even the comb had a massage function. These small details showed genuine care. **Service was efficient and warm:** The front desk staff spoke fluent English, and check-in was swift. They proactively informed us about hot spring hours and recommended local eateries. Every day, staff greeted us with smiles when we left and helped with our luggage upon return. Their politeness was just right—not overly enthusiastic, but comfortably warm. **Minor drawbacks:** The breakfast selection wasn't extensive, primarily Japanese set meals, and the taste was decent but not outstanding. If you visit during peak season, you might have a short wait for an available spot in the hot spring. Overall, this hotel perfectly balances 'convenience' and a 'Japanese hot spring experience.' It's especially well-suited for tourists who want to explore Osaka's city center, dine, and still enjoy a hot spring. The value for money is excellent, and I'll very likely choose this hotel again on my next visit to Osaka.

The Executive Room was clean and spacious! The front desk staff was very helpful and gave me directions to Osaka Castle Park. In the evening, I enjoyed the outdoor onsen, which was super relaxing and helped me unwind after a long day.

## Pros: Conveniently located near Osaka Metro's Kitahama Station🚇, just two stops from the Umeda shopping district, and not far from Shinsaibashi. While there aren't many restaurants directly around the hotel, it's primarily surrounded by office buildings and financial institutions, adjacent to the Osaka Stock Exchange. ## Cons: Some staff members were very professional, such as a young gentleman who spoke Chinese. However, some staff had an indifferent attitude, like a middle-aged woman in the restaurant. A few individual employees displayed poor service, lacked a service-oriented mindset, and provided a very unsatisfactory experience – for instance, a young, slender Japanese female employee with her hair in a bun. I hope not to be served by her again. ## Facilities: ① The windows can be opened to a certain degree, which is very useful for regularly ventilating the room and preventing a musty smell. ② The room is small, but the layout is cleverly designed and generally quite functional. However, the shower area is too cramped, making it difficult to turn around, which negatively impacts the user experience. ## Suggestions: It would be great if the breakfast variety could be rotated every 1-2 days, and if the entry cutoff time could be adjusted to 09:30.

What a fantastic experience! The hotel boasts an excellent location, only a 5-minute walk from the subway station, and there's a convenience store right on the ground floor. The front desk staff were incredibly warm and helpful. My only minor complaint would be the breakfast, which was just average. However, the room was very comfortable, and the hot spring was a definite highlight – a genuine sulfur bath. Plus, they offer high-tech luggage storage lockers for after check-out, which is a great touch. Highly recommended!

Compared to hotels in Kyoto, it's not as refined, but the value for money is quite high. In the afternoon, you can enjoy free-flow beer and drinks. I didn't book breakfast, but it looked pretty good when I passed by. There's a Shinsekai night market nearby that's very lively from 7 PM to 10 PM, and some izakayas or restaurants are open until 11 PM or even midnight. When you exit Ebisucho Station, use exit 5. (If you haven't booked a ride-share or luggage delivery, leaving might be a bit difficult as this subway station doesn't have an accessible route.)
