Trip.com traveller reviews
"Crystal Hotel Osaka is a great place to stay, especially for travelers who want convenience and comfort. It is within walking distance to Dotonbori, making it easy to explore shopping, food, and nightlife. The room was clean and well maintained, and the size was just right—comfortable without feeling cramped. Overall, a pleasant stay and good value for its location."
"Second stay here. Very convenient between Namba and Shinsaibashi. Close to lots of shopping and food. However the room was incredibly stuffy even with the use of the humidifier/dehumidifier."
"When we arrived in hotel, very warm, they set everything that we need Night Osaka is very cold and windy but in this hotel you will get warm condition and so good Close to tengachaya station and so many stores nearby this apartment We love this and will stay again if we come to osaka"
"this hotel is located in a very prime location being only a 3 minute walk from the osaka castle park. there are many good restaurants and convenience stores in the vicinity as well. room itself was rather cramped for a room for 4 people, but bed was very big and comfortable. the hotel breakfast was elite, simple but full of japanese and western delights."
"Very good location with several good restaurants to dine in. For shopping,the few popular Japanese brands are just opposite the hotel above the train station. And the riverbank provides a nice strolling trail…"
"Hotel room was perfect enough and location the nearest station maybe need walk around 1-2km so if you bringing big or heavy luggage you need walk very far but overall was perfect!"
