Hotel Keihan Properties in Osaka

The hotel's location is excellent, right next to the JR exit and on the Universal Studios shopping street. Highly recommended for those who want to be right at the entrance. I took the Kansai Airport bus directly to Universal Studios, and it was a short, convenient walk to the hotel from the drop-off point. The hotel service was great, and the room was very clean and cozy. From the room, I could overlook Universal Studios and the distant ocean. Although the room was small, it was fully equipped; even with two suitcases, it didn't feel cramped. The bathroom amenities were extensive, surprisingly including toner, makeup remover, astringent, and body lotion, plus a very effective hair straightener! So thoughtful! The room decor was exactly as shown in the Ctrip photos. Strongly recommend this to families and individuals visiting Universal Studios!

I used to stay at the old Keihan Tenmabashi hotel every time, but this time I tried the Tenmabashi Station Front store. A 21-square-meter room is considered quite spacious in Japan. The separate wet and dry areas, along with a door to the bedroom, make it super convenient. The location is also a major plus, making it easy to get to Kyoto, and there's a shopping mall across the street. Everything you need for food, accommodation, and transportation is right there.

The triple room was a bit cramped; there wasn't enough space to fully open our suitcases. The room rate was very reasonable on weekdays, but it doubled on weekends, making the value for money just average. The hotel is quite close to the subway station, which makes getting around very convenient. There are also 7-11 and Lawson convenience stores nearby. What was a bit odd is that on our first day, we received complimentary coffee and weren't charged a city accommodation tax. However, after returning from Universal Studios, on our third day, there was no coffee provided, and we were charged the city accommodation tax. Both nights were booked through Ctrip, so I'm unsure why there was a difference.

Excellent location, Very near Osaka Castle and other notable tourist spots. Just a 3min walk to the nearest train station. You can just use the train to go to Dotonbori for good food and dining. The room almost well kept clean every day. As a tourist, checking in will be a bit challenging but nevertheless the receptionist (via display with subtitles) will be guiding you step by step. No much concerns when Checking out. Just follow the instructions on the touch screen panel at the reception area.

Hotel perfectly located at Kyobashi station. Coming from airport take rapid line. Change at Tennoji station and take north exit. Only 3 minutes to hotel. Surrounding has many restaurants and convenient store. Very near Osaka castle. 3 stops away from Osaka Umeda. Station is very easy to navigate. Not too big. Also very convenient to visit Kyoto as a day trip.

Overall, I'm quite satisfied with the hotel. Many attractions are within walking distance. The room was pre-arranged, but due to religious reasons, the front desk lady was very cooperative in switching rooms for me. The room was generally clean, with a separate wet and dry area, and the washbasin outside was very comfortable. The white paintwork has some damage; I suggest regular touch-ups, otherwise, it affects the aesthetics. Now, about breakfast. The selection was pitifully small. Although service was until 10:00 AM, there should be enough fruit available for guests throughout that time. After all, when you pay for breakfast, you don't want to be left with almost-empty dishes (I was told there was no more fruit). This definitely needs improvement.
