Hotel Lotus Umeda — Hotel in Osaka

I love this place. Booked the single smoking Japanese room for 3 nights when I needed to watch a musical at Umeda Arts Theater last month.

Staff are very helpful and kind.

I arrived earlier than check-in time and I was able to use the shower room and toilet in the lounge so I could freshen up and change before taking a stroll / have lunch after a long flight.

Free water, tea, coffee, ice in the lounge. Bathroom amenities available near reception and you're welcome to take as many as you want. They provide USB cables for all sorts of gadgets too.

The only thing I wish they would add to the room is a bigger mirror for the ladies and refrigerators in all rooms

Many restaurants nearby although most don't open before 5pm. Many cheap bars as well. Great night life in the neighborhood but it is quiet in the room.

Easy access to major railway lines and subway stations as well as airport bus stop.

The price is unbeatable. Only slightly higher than hostels and dorm-type accomodations (which I can never bring myself to try) and on par with nice capsule/cabin type hotels.

The single room is small but sufficient and there's more than enough room for my luggage to open fully.

If you are a big or tall person the bathroom size can be quite challenging however. But I prefer a small private bathroom over large but...

Me and my girlfriend had the room with the sea shell and aquarium.

Hotel has gorgeous front entry and a discreet back entry. Booking a room and payment is very discreet, you never meet any other guests everything is electronic on a screen.

We were a bit confused but you book on a TV Touchscreen, get sent to the room and then call the reception for check out (they make sure you don't meet other guests).

Price was 10k yen for a 2 hour stay which is quite high imo but the room was large, comfy, completely clean, had lots of amenities and there is free food and alcohol in the lobby. Sound insulation seems to be good as well at least we never heard anything.

You need to either know Japanese or have a translator ready for booking as the TV screen is Japanese only.

If you find a way to navigate the reception and want a crazy love hotel experience as a tourist in osaka, this is the...

Its a clean hotel that is suited for people looking for a cheap place to stay. The staff are friendly and helpful, and they are okay with foreign visitors.

The rooms are a little small, but for the price you pay, it is actually quite clean. Initially it was a little intimidating arriving at this hotel at night, as there were crowds of people dressed up as if they were going to a night club around the area. It also looked a little suspicious as there were advertisements inside the hotel that wasn't that "appropriate". It seems that it would be the kind of hotel that a lonely businessperson would go to stay at when they are on business trips. Despite that, I did see some groups of tourists staying there, perhaps it was a cheap place to stay overnight when you live far from the city and there are no public...
