Towers Hotel — Hotel in Osaka

First time here, very impressed. We reserved the train room #505 for a night on the Towers Hotel website. Upon arrival, the staff greeted me and confirmed my reservation. We took the elevator to the 5th floor, where the light in front of our room was blinking to signal where our room was.

The room was clean, and it had pretty much everything we needed: Relaxing ambient music, good AC, fast Wifi, "fun" TV channels, hair dryer and curling iron, massage chair, large bathroom, cup noodle and water, and more. The train room was every bit as fun as they advertised, its decor and train sounds was very much on point.

In the morning, we called the front desk to order breakfast delivered to our room. The front desk staff spoke basic English but it was not hard to order.

There's no conbini next to the hotel so I recommend getting whatever you need before arrival. Right across the street is another hotel that may be convenient to stay before or after.

All in all we enjoyed staying at this hotel, and would recommend it to...

So first of all this is not your usual hotel. This is one of those quirky Love Hotels, which various themed rooms. You can rent them for just a few hours… I saw this on a video some months ago and booked a night for the fun of it. Check in is after 8pm and check out is 11am. The place is very discreet. We went for 503, which is the pool themed suite. It was awesome. Yes, can do with a little refurb but it was so much fun. You have a massive pool all for yourself, a sauna, 3 bathrooms and some more, over 2 floors, all for yourself. There is a nice sound system and a TV with all kind of channels, including adult ones. There is a minibar, coffee, tea, water, all kind of amenities. If you want to have some fun, this is the place to go in Osaka. Would love to try the other...

This is a rating for the Love Hotel service. Foreigners be warned. Japanese love hotels are insanely popular (among Japanese) and frequently fully booked.

The prices are also not ever in line with the price advertised outside which is 2x cheaper than reality. (It’s a “starting at” price.)

I came to this hotel on a Monday morning and did not rent a room because they only had 2 available neither of which I wanted.

The JR Sakuranomiya train station also does not have coin lockers. So if you need that don’t use...
