City Plaza Osaka

The room was very accommodating. Great deep soaking timing. Water pressure, flow, and hot water. Firm memory foam double bed. And mini fridge for personal use. Downside, only with the upkeep for in-room use for coffee cups, water glasses and replacing them from ones already used. But overall housekeeping was very good. The amenities which were utterly very fantastic was their gym facilities and the pool, plus the indoor/outdoor onsen free daily till 1am in the morning. The gym and pool came with a moderate extra fee, but well worth the generalizable surcharge which can be added to the room’s cost at checkout, later. The on-site breakfast buffet is very convenient if you’re appetite is high for a good solid Japanese styled meal. But of course there are other options eating elsewhere in the city at cafes or indoor/outdoor restaurants wherever they are located like in Paris. The lunch buffet is also very delicious though, however, not as popular as one might’ve imagined in the hotel’s dining days pre-pandemic. There are odd things about the hotel’s lobby that are still strange. Like the dried out water cutouts which surround the outside of the hotel’s exterior space but not indoors? And there is a Tully’s Cafe, very busy drawing business folks, students, and an assorted number of customers, but the hotel’s space limits their ability to expand on more seating outside of its own interior layout. The lobby itself has no seating whatsoever anywhere. Floor, lighting, so-so. Strange?

Regret that no free coffee provided and few staff know English. Love the hot springs provided.

Clean and tidy. Staff were great and the onset on the 14th floor is great too
