Hotel Hot Springs di Osaka Prefecture, Japan

Right next to the busiest tourist area in Osaka and with access to large number of facilities., Spaworld is surely a top choice to stay. But actually, the day ticket only costs 1500 yen and overnight staying fee is 1300 yen, which means you don't really need to stay in the hotel to use everything and stay for a night, kind of like a SPA net cafe. The plus for using the hotel is that you allow yourself to enter anytime you want.

Facilities: The room, though small, was well-equipped with everything we needed. Plus, there's a public hot spring bath available. Free daily drinking water and complimentary drinks during happy hour in the evenings were a great bonus. Cleanliness: Spotlessly clean. Service: The service was also excellent.

Stayed at Onyado Nono Namba Natural Hot Spring and absolutely loved it. The hotel was exceptionally clean throughout and every staff member we met was kind, helpful and efficient. Service felt warm without being intrusive. I saw quite a few comments online saying the rooms are too small, but honestly I think it depends on which room type you book. We checked the room size before booking and found it very acceptable for Osaka standards — spacious enough to open luggage comfortably and move around without feeling cramped. One of our favourite parts was all the little extras included during the stay — the free late-night noodles every evening were surprisingly good, and the onsen was such a nice way to relax after walking all day. After the bath, there was complimentary ice cream which made the experience even better. Location is another huge plus — directly across from Dotonbori, within walking distance to Kuromon Market, and very convenient for exploring Namba and nearby areas. The whole hotel has a calm Japanese ryokan-style atmosphere while still being modern and comfortable. Would definitely stay again next time in Osaka ❤️

I deliberated for a long time over which hotel to book and finally settled on Hanshin. After checking in, I completely forgot that my booking included breakfast. It would have cost over 100 RMB per person for breakfast if I'd had to pay at the hotel, so getting two breakfasts included with a 600 RMB per night room felt like a huge saving! Although the breakfast didn't have a massive selection, everything I tried was perfectly to my taste. On the first day, I ate breakfast around 7 AM and didn't feel hungry again until my second meal at 6 PM. The room, though small, was clean, tidy, and incredibly quiet. On the second day, when the staff asked if I needed room cleaning, I declined and instead asked for a bottle of hand soap. It was POLA hand soap, which is exclusive to hotels and not available for purchase elsewhere. The hotel is super convenient from Kansai Airport; you can take the JR rapid express directly to Fukushima Station for 1180 JPY per person. From the station, it's just about 50 meters across the road. It's also within walking distance of Yodobashi Camera and Hankyu Department Store. I highly recommend this hotel – it's excellent value for money!

We were pleasantly surprised by the hotel's wonderful view (we stayed on the 18th floor, the top floor). We booked the room with breakfast included, and it was great—they even had sushi! The hotel has an onsen; we tried the private one together. It wasn't mind-blowing, but it's worth a try if you want to soak in a hot bath. From noon until 10 PM, you can treat yourself to free beer 🍺, sake, or mix your own cocktails with spirits. Every day from 9:00 PM to 10:00 PM, they serve complimentary ramen, which is super delicious! There is also free ice cream available all day 🍦. The room was cleaned daily, and shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel were provided in the room. Other amenities like loofahs, hairbrushes, and razors were available on the 1st floor. There is also access to a rooftop terrace on the 18th floor with a gorgeous view! The hotel's location is fantastic and convenient—just a 2-minute walk to the nearest Ebisucho Station, a 5-minute walk to the Shinsekai area (where the Tsutenkaku Tower is), and Dotonbori is about 30 minutes on foot or 20 minutes by a combination of walking and the subway. We always took the subway.

This is an absolute must-stay if you're visiting Universal Studios!! The location is fantastic, the hotel is spacious, and the service was wonderful. I will definitely stay here again next time!

Cannot speak highly enough of this hotel. Great location down to Universal Studios, only about 15 minutes walk. Quiet because of the distance. The staff were incredibly helpful, I checked some luggage for storage before check in and when I returned found they'd already taken it to my room for me and even hung up the jacket I left. There was a great deal of care taken. Even my booking request for a quiet room away from the lifts was noted and actioned and the rooms had every little thing you might need or have forgotten available. My only complaint is that I couldn't include more nights there in my trip. It was perfect.

+The location was really nice, very serene with lots of mountains surrounding the ryokan; +Relatively easy to access (pretty far from Osaka, but close to the train station); +Staff speaks English, so you shouldn't have issues with communication; +They have a lot of instructions/maps/manuals on how to fully enjoy the ryokan, so you shouldn't have trouble figuring out the basics. ~Food was mostly ok, nothing bad or spectacular, good portions; ~Although they do have some SPA elements, it's really not a lot (basically nothing except hot springs and massage) -It's certainly on the older side (not in the sense of it being particularly historical, rather that it would benefit from some renovations), but maybe that adds to the ambiance for some people; -The actual inn territory is rather small, so you won't have much to explore without going outside. Overall, I think it's a good first ryokan to familiarize yourself with the culture a bit, but I wouldn't necessarily refer to it as particularly impressive/authentic experience.

The room was a bit small, but the value for money was reasonable. The private hot spring was a nice touch! It's about a 10+ minute drive from the outlet mall, which isn't too bad. Didi (international version) is more expensive than regular taxis, so it's cheaper to hail one directly. However, there aren't any taxis right outside this hotel, but they can call one for you. Smoking is only allowed outside on the first floor.

I loved the view of this hotel from the outside and well as the view from my room. But what I DID NOT LIKE WAS THE BED. The bed was HARDDDDD. Loved the heated toilet seats, and the public bath (it was my first time doing that), the PJ set was nice too, you wear them to the public bath and in the room no where else. They provide you with information on how to properly use the public bath.The room was a decent size for the area. 8 min walk from the subway. 20 min walk from Osaka Castle. The area itself is VERY CALM, not to much going on aside from Osaka Castle.
