Our Members Say
We stayed at the Osaka Garden Palace in April 2012 for three nights and remained very satisfied with our visit. I selected the hotel based on the room price and location. It was within the $70-80 price range per night for double occupancy. The hotel is near Shin Osaka, and Shin Osaka is a major station in Osaka with access to subway, rail and the bullet train. The first night I arrived from Nagoya on the shinkansen (bullet train). The webpage of the hotel offers a great map of how to get off your train and reach the hotel shuttle stop (because Shin Osaka is huge, and you can spend the whole night going back and forth). The shuttle goes until 11 pm, so you are really covered if you appear at Shin Osaka before then. The room was very clean. As with most other reviews I can testify that hotel rooms and bathrooms in Japanese hotels are much smaller compared to American hotels (but hey, it's an island after all). If you sign up for breakfast on you arrival, you’ll get a 10% discount. Also, the hotel is very quiet. We couldn’t hear any other people. The only surprise were the pillows, they were “bean pillows” like the little toys that are bean toys. Anyhow we would be so tired be the time we went to bed that the pillows pose no obstacle to our sleep.
