Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA

Nice hotel and great location. However not ideal for solo travelers. This place gets pretty crowded and has a lot of travel groups and families staying here. It will get super busy and chaotic at times with kids running around.

Rooms were clean and for Japan standards a decent size (3 ppl). We used the Duskin 3rd party service partnered with Hankyu Respire and it was super easy. Just a small detail, you must show proof of payment before they and you the bag. They do offer self-serve laundry, with status updates, on TV. Used it 1x and found that it doesn’t dry well. There’re lots of restaurants around and there’s a cafe on the 2nd floor now that offers great breakfast and coffee and cheap ( breakfast combo 2 was 600 Yen). Great location to major transit lines. Will definitely come back if we visit Japan again.

Excellent pillows and well laid out small room. Highly recommended especially since it’s such a great location.

Good location and friendly staffs. Airport bus stops right below the hotel.

We struggled to find the entrance to the hotel as there are no instructions that the check in is in the 9th floor. Staff were helpful and for a fee allowed is to check in early. Rooms were clean and neat. To get into the hotel we needed to take 2 separate elevators as the hotel is in a different building to the street entrance. Hotel is attached to a large shopping and eating precinct which we enjoyed. Bathroom has a separate shower and bath, shower is separate to the bath, and clothing and towels need to be left outside or will get wet. Laundry had 8 washer/dryers for the whole hotel. Sometimes wait was hours before machines were ready. We also found dryers very slow. Often taking several hours to dry clothes. There is no coin/note exchange near the laundry and the cashless system didn’t accept any of our credit cards or suits which meant going to the front desk of coins were needed. Lifts were very very slow. The hotel looks lovely and clean but it wasn’t one of our favourites.

Great location, convenient for shopping, dining, and transport.

Great central location Great amenities such as microwave, tea, coffee, water and good laundry facilities. Tiny room bin facilities and poor airport style check in lets the hotel down.

Nice staff!!! Clean

Really convenient, really organised- one of the electronic check in systems so far in our trip around Japan.

Incredibly small room. Great photography tricks used on the website to make the room seem large enough but was very cramped. Beds and pillows were very uncomfortable. Breakfast had plenty of variety but the quality was not there. I know Japan’s coffee is different than the west but the I have seen most hotels invest in multi functional coffee machines that make a good coffee or latte on demand the coffee was not good. Getting in and out of the hotel was a pain with multiple elevator trips required. Had to plea with the front desk to send someone up to help us with a TV that would not turn off they really resisted and in the end it took batteries for the remote only they had. It’s clear this hotel is about its good location not the customer experience. Location = 8/9cc Hotel Quality and Customer Service = 3

Everything was amazing, you made our first trip to Japan a unforgettable experience!

The best hotel location in Osaka.

Close to the train station, restaurants, shopping

Clean room. Great views.

Great location for access to trains, great dining options and shopping.

My room was almost 100% clean. There was a long hair on the toilet and rubbish in the carpet.

This hotel was clean, quiet and its location is great. Umeda Station and Osaka station extremely close and lots of department store all within walking distance

Excellent hotel nice room quiet excellent breakfast I recommend recommended

Convenience to different shopping mall & restaurants

The hotel is located in a great location has great amenities and tons of food options that are located close by. Also, the access to the train system is very close by which makes it easy to move around.
