Hotel the Lutheran Reviews

The room was more spacious than expected, and the breakfast selection was quite diverse. It's conveniently located near a subway station, making transportation easy. Overall, it offers great value for money, and the staff are very friendly. The Osaka Park they recommended is definitely worth a visit!

This is a nice place to stay, great location near the castle and the Museum of History is recommended. The breakfast was nice with plenty of choice, easily able to use the laundry facilities and the staff were very helpful and friendly.

The hotel is near to station and Osaka Castle. Very convenient for Osaka Marathon. Highly recommend.

The hotel is in a very convenient location. The metro station is about 100 meters away, and there are 7-Eleven and Family Mart stores nearby. It is very easy to get to Kyoto Station and convenient for reaching the airport. That’s where the advantages end. There was no water in the room at check-in. We were told to buy it ourselves from a vending machine. It was also stated that there would be welcome drinks, but there was nothing. The only coffee available was instant and of very poor quality, so after breakfast we had to go to 7-Eleven to buy proper coffee. Breakfast is listed as being served until 9:30. We arrived at 9:15, and the staff member who was cleaning the area tried to make us leave. The same happened to other guests. Only thanks to the chef were we allowed to stay. At the reception desk, we were told that we should come at 9:00, even though it clearly says breakfast is until 9:30. While we were eating, everything around us was being cleared away, and we were not given the chance to choose our food properly. It felt very uncomfortable. The rooms are old and worn out. There was a moldy smell in the bathroom. The pajamas provided were very old, thin, grey-blue in color, and almost see-through. Additionally, we were not informed about the renovation works in the building. There was no message about it when we made the reservation. In reality, there were construction scaffolds, and we had to carry our suitcases up the stairs. Only upon arrival were we given a notice saying there would be painting and other work. There was a noticeable smell of paint in the room. The location is good, but the service and the condition of the hotel were very disappointing

This hotel is conveniently located, with Osaka Station just over a ten-minute trip away. Convenience stores, restaurants, supermarkets, and a post office are all nearby, offering excellent access to daily necessities. Osaka Castle and the Osaka Museum of History are also within walking distance. The hotel facilities are well maintained, and each floor is equipped with a washing machine, microwave, and ice maker for guests’ convenience. The breakfast is delicious, and the staff are friendly and attentive, making the overall stay very enjoyable.

We were a group of three and opted for the triple room. It was clean and tidy, and even had a bathtub 🛁, which was a nice bonus. Overall, a great stay! They have complimentary tea bags and toiletries available at the front desk, which you can grab anytime you need. My boots came unglued in the snowy weather, and the hotel staff provided some shoe glue, which was incredibly helpful.

The lobby is quite small, but there's a self-service toiletries counter where you can grab essentials for free, including dental floss and tea bags. The hotel feels a bit dated, but it's very clean. The rooms aren't huge, but they're well-equipped and make good use of the space. The only downside was the air conditioning in the room; it made an irregular buzzing noise, likely due to its age. **Cleanliness:** The cleanliness was good, no major issues there. **Service:** The service was very attentive, and the front desk displayed a rainbow flag, indicating it's LGBTQ+ friendly. While the breakfast selection wasn't extensive, it offered a good mix of Japanese, Western, and Chinese options. We happened to be there during Japanese New Year, and they even served festive dishes like mochi soup. The hotel is next to a church. During my stay, I didn't encounter any church activities or services, but I did see a baseball or rugby practice nearby, probably from a local team. Most guests were Japanese and very polite. **Location:** The location is fantastic. The hotel is less than 300 meters from the subway station, right next to Osaka Prefectural Government Office, Osaka Police Headquarters, and Osaka NHK, which made me feel very safe. The intersection where the subway is located has a FamilyMart, 7-Eleven, Lawson, McDonald's, Sukiya, izakayas, yakiniku restaurants, coffee shops, and Sugiyama Pharmacy, making it incredibly convenient. Getting to Namba, Umeda, and Tennoji takes less than 20 minutes, so transportation is also excellent.

The hotel is very near osaka castle so do make use of it to see the castle in the day and at night (the latter is one that I regretted not doing). The staff was helpful when I couldn't lower the temperature of the shower - just need to use more force to turn the tap while pressing down the safety valve.

Overall, it was a decent stay, simple and cozy. I personally think this is suitable for business stay. Amenities are provided at the lobby, you can pick what you need. The only downside is that they don't provide water in the room, which in my opinion is quite a basic provision. Anyway, if you'd like to have one you can still purchase it at the lobby for ¥100, or the convenient store next door. Location is great, walking distance to the history museum and osaka castle. Train station is also very near.

this hotel is located in a very prime location being only a 3 minute walk from the osaka castle park. there are many good restaurants and convenience stores in the vicinity as well. room itself was rather cramped for a room for 4 people, but bed was very big and comfortable. the hotel breakfast was elite, simple but full of japanese and western delights.

This hotel is really great. It's about 300 meters from the subway station. To the left of the hotel, about 300-400 meters away, is the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters – super convenient if you're a Conan fan and want to visit! A little further on is Osaka Castle Park, which is a lovely walk. The room was clean and not small; two 26-inch suitcases could lie flat. The front desk staff spoke English, were very patient, and communication was seamless. It seems to be a church-affiliated hotel, as many Europeans and Americans were staying there. They even have complimentary samples like facial cleanser and face cream at the front desk, which is a nice touch.

The room has a great location, it's very clean, and close to the subway station.

Stayed for 4D5N and had a very good experience in this hotel. Staff can speak English, courteous and helpful. Daily cleaning, spacious room & comfy beds. Breakfast selection is simple & delicious. Located near Chuo & Tanimachi Line, Osaka Castle, Osaka National Museum, police station, convenient stores (7-11 & Family Mart) and a lot of local food options. Will definitely come back! 👍👌

This was my favorite accommodation in my entire 23-day autumn trip in Japan. The hotel location is perfect because it’s just a few hundred meters away from the subway station and from the Osaka Castle Park. There are plenty of restaurant options in the area and nearby stations. It’s not a busy area to be honest, so access to trains was a breeze. I love that the room has a Smart TV and everything I need is available. I would love to stay at this hotel again in the future.
