Surestay Plus Hotel By Best Western Shin-Osaka

“Great hotel to stay at in Osaka, close to Umeda, close to main train line to Shinsaibashi, Namba, also Kyoto/Kobe”

I chose this hotel because it's close to the Midosuji train line, specifically in Nishinakajima Station. It's a train station that connects directly to Shin-Osaka (if you want to take the Shinkansen/Bullet Train to Tokyo or elsewhere).

I chose this hotel because it's close to the Midosuji train line, specifically in Nishinakajima Station. It's a train station that connects directly to Shin-Osaka (if you want to take the Shinkansen/Bullet Train to Tokyo or elsewhere). It's also close to Minamikata station which you can use to go to Kyoto. Anyway, Midosuji is very convenient, direct line to Namba and Shinsaibashi area. In front of this hotel is a 24 hour open restaurant called Gusto/Gasuto, so if you are hungry in the middle of the night, no problem - if you don't speak Japanese, no problem as well because the restaurant has tablets in English for ordering. As for the hotel itself, the staff speak English and are very friendly. Check-in and Check-out are both seamless. The hotel smells good, it's very clean. Even though I went here by myself, I still booked a larger room because I like spacious rooms, but was pleasantly surprised because comparing it to other hotels I've been to, for the price I booked it, the room was quite spacious and also has a couch - the bathroom was also exceptional. It was good quality. The room's soundproofing is also great. It was in front of a road but I didn't hear anything aside from ambulance siren (common in Japan) but it's still muffled. The beds are perfect, I almost overslept because of it. So be sure to turn on your alarm! Overall, highly recommended for groups since it's spacious. Maybe for solo travelers too. There's also a convenience store (Lawson and Family Mart) nearby. And if you want to have a bit of drinking at night, Nishinakajima area has a lot of izakayas and italian/spanish restaurants around. Would come here again, definitely.
