North Osaka hotel rooms a the Independent

"Great location handy to trains. Filtered cold and hot water available by elevator. Windows opened for ventilation and emergency exit. Rooms were air conditioned but hotel was not as walls were not enclosed. Able to experience Japanese onsen hot pools for free. Note surcharge for rooftop swimming pool, which is quite common in Japan."

"Nice place"

"Love this hotel! Second time i stayed at this hotel and had good service. This time was a bit different. They could not find my reservation for the luggage to be shipped and then when we checked in, they didn’t give us the breakfast tickets which was included when I made the reservation. Otherwise, great hotel and fabulous location "

"Great place"

"We had a little bit of a hard time finding the entrance to the property because it’s was on the side of the building in the alleyway but it was flanked by a Lawsons AND a Sugi Pharamcy (both of which we visited several times during our 4 day stay. The check in is on Floor 2 and staff was very friendly and helpful and quick! Our room was on the 14th floor and I selected a corner room with the hope it would be spacious enough for three adults. When I opened the door I was relieved that there were three single beds with a small sitting area and a desk and enough space to move around. The bathroom was a good size and the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were great. I appreciated the extra toothbrushes and hairbrushes and mouthwash. My husband and son visited the onsen which they said was small but very clean and nice. The location of the hotel was very close to restaurants and shopping and an entrance to the subway. We checked out early and the hotel held our luggage while we did a last minute visit to the aquarium and when we returned I was happy that housekeeping found my neck fan and reunited it with me before we left for the airport. Getting to the airport was easy. We walked less than ten minutes to Osaka Station and took the Haruka Express to KIX. We even got to ride the Hello Kitty Haruka train. The overall stay was comfortable, pleasant, and convenient to shopping, restaurants, and subway. Hotel was clean The staff was friendly & helpful. Amenities were excellent."

"Very nice staff and clean facility"
