Hotel Hankyu Respire Osaka

The location of Old Dragon (or 'Lao Long') is, needless to say, incredibly convenient for shopping. Remember to book a room on the 25th floor or higher, otherwise, you might experience some noise. The cleanliness is also quite good, with daily cleaning service.

Extremely convenient for dining and shopping. I always choose this hotel whenever I visit Osaka. The hotel breakfast is decent, but I usually head to the 8th-floor mall for food. Lucua and Yodobashi stores are right across the street. If you're here to shop, this hotel is a no-brainer.

The room was clean and bright, and the hotel's location right next to Osaka Station made transportation incredibly convenient, especially with a direct bus to Kansai International Airport. The breakfast was also quite good. However, one downside is their strict check-in policy; you absolutely cannot check in a minute before 2 PM. The worst experience, though, was the laundry room. The price aside (it was about 25 RMB per load), the dryers were completely ineffective. My clothes were still damp after three hours of drying. This led to the laundry room always being packed. You'd have to start queuing at 7 AM to do your laundry, and even then, there wouldn't be an available machine until after 11 PM.

This hotel is located at Umeda Station, and you check in on the 9th floor of Links. It's super convenient as you can go shopping right downstairs, and there are various connected malls all around, perfect for shopping lovers. The toilet and shower room are separate, and there's a bathtub. Overall, it was a very comfortable stay.

Fantastic hotel in a prime location! There's so much to see and do nearby, and transportation is incredibly convenient. This is my second time staying here, and I'll definitely choose it again in the future. Plus, there's a great Daikoku Drugstore right across the street that's fun to browse.

The hotel is located above Yodobashi. The room isn't huge, but it has a bathtub. There's a dedicated taxi pick-up/drop-off point right on the first floor. The hotel lobby is very spacious, and while they say it's self check-in, staff members are always proactively there to assist. The hotel lobby also has a direct elevator to the 8th floor of the mall, which is super convenient for dining.
