The Rise Osaka Kitashinchi

Has a laundry room in hotel which is a real convenience. Staff is kind enough to allow access even after check out. Left behind toiletries bag and staff help send to tokyo for me . Big thank you to the team. Only feedback is couldnt get breakfast as last order was too early at 930am. Should have left some bread behind at least for late wakers. Wasted 2 nights breakdfast as came down 932am

Clean but no service. Insisted to request me to pay extra due to my booking was for one person (by mistake) but we have 2. Same room size. I just paid it as I don’t want to argue

Good location within walking distances to Metro or even Osaka Station. Clean and friendly staff. Despite in the (?) night club area, not noisy and not felt unsafe walking through the area at night. Negatives: rooms very small, no wardrobe, barely enough space to open suitcase (not even a big one) and once opened, little space to walk. Bath tub is small and only suitable for a little kid. Even toilet seat is smaller than usual. No International TV channels - all in Japanese. Staff not proficient in English and needs handheld translation gadget to interpret. Overall small room sizes mean simply not suitable for travelling with family or for leisure. More like business travel. Booking websites really need to emphasize this point.
