Hotel Shin Osaka

This was the perfect base for a week of traveling by bullet train around Japan. Rather than pack and move for every city, we stayed at the Shin Osaka (so named because it is a short taxi ride to the Shinkansen station) and made day trips to Kyoto, Kobe (highly recommended), Hiroshima and Nara. Our room was perfect. It had a nice kitchen with a clothes washer and dryer, comfortable bed, enormous spa hot baths (separate for men and women) and was very quiet. If you are only wanting to see Osaka, you might want a hotel nearer the center, but if you want to see a lot of Japan easily, I don't think you'll find a better base than this modern, clean hotel.

The room is comfortable for a single person. There is enough walking space and place to open up luggage bag. There's hangers, humidifier, pyjamas is provided as well, a stool for you sit to wear your shoe. The aircon could be set as "cold" or "warm room"

We recently stayed here for 4N. Shin-Osaka has always been our favourite spot when we travel yearly to Osaka because of its transport accessibility. And staying nearby is best for optimising our travel time! Upon exiting from JR station keep to the left and the extreme end look for East exit. Can take the elevator to get down to the ground level. Walked across to the opposite side of the street. You see Family Mart and you will see walkway nearby to the back door of the hotel.(there’s a sign) Great location, very convenient The hotel is a bit old and mid-sized type. We were glad as they let us check-in is at 2pm, slightly earlier. The room is comparable with similar range hotel nearby. Just nice to accommodate our large luggage (a 24” and another 27”). Other facilities in the room are OK, just that they do not provide tea or coffee in the room you can take mixed tea packets at front desk. We did not manage to get NO smoking semi-double room but surprisingly it does not “smell”. NO cabinet. Air conditioner and Wifi are good, important to us.. The bed was good enough to just fit two people. We were off the whole day for Day trips to Nara, Wakayama so its ok. The bf looks value-for money, only 800Yen with 20 over items buffet but we did not try. There are nearby café We recommend a stay here… 
