Shizutetsu Hotel Prezio Osaka Shinsaibashi

An excellent hotel! A 4-star in Tokyo doesn't quite compare to the enjoyment of a 3-star here in Osaka. The room is spacious, well-equipped, and features a separate wet and dry bathroom. The cleaning is meticulous, and the service is attentive. The desk in the room is especially large and comes with broadband internet. Anyone want to plug in an ethernet cable and game on a Japanese server? It's super convenient for dining, shopping, convenience stores, and the subway. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Osaka. The takoyaki at the self-service area next to the front desk are also super, super cute.

This is my go-to hotel whenever I visit Osaka. It's a Japanese-style hotel with excellent service. The breakfast spread is also very generous. I especially love the hotel's special matcha. On the first floor, they offer complimentary coffee, tea, and toiletries. Floors five and nine have ice machines, vending machines, microwave ovens, and laundry facilities. The hotel is a short walk from Honmachi subway station; I recommend taking exit 21 for the escalator, which is a lifesaver if you have luggage. It's also quite close to Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori. The alleys around the hotel are full of great little restaurants – you really can't go wrong. Plus, there are several 7-Eleven convenience stores nearby, which is super convenient.

Overall, it was pretty good. The room was quite spacious, and the breakfast was actually decent. The location is about a 10-minute walk from Shinsaibashi, and there are plenty of food options nearby, mostly snack bars and izakayas.

The hotel is a bit of a walk from both metro stations, which can be challenging if you have a lot of luggage. I booked a random room online and made a note, but I was mostly assigned to mini-rooms on lower floors. There are no toiletries in the room; you have to pick them up yourself on the first floor. The staff's service attitude was quite good, and the impromptu photos turned out very well: Figure 1 shows a corner of the lobby, and Figure 2 is the restaurant. The room was really too small, so I didn't take any pictures of it.

The hotel is about a 7-8 minute walk to Shinsaibashi and very close to the subway station. It's in a lively area but still quiet. We had a room each and it felt quite spacious. The front desk staff were very helpful, and you can pick up toiletries from the front desk. For around 300+ a night, the overall value for money is really good.
