JR WEST GROUP VIA INN UMEDA

Everything about the stay was great. The room was on the smaller side for two people, granted we had a lot of luggage with us and we worked it out just fine. Everything was a little more upscale than I expected, like the embroidery on the towels and embroidered robes. Amenities were aplenty right by the elevator. The location was so central to food, nightlife, shopping, and so close to public transit. Our favorite part is that it was attached to a 7/11 with a private hotel entrance in the store. Everything about the stay was great and I would happily stay again.

The hotel has direct access to the 7-eleven! That is a very huge plus point.

A fantastic hotel overall. The room was a little on the small side and limited storage, however I find this to be the case in most hotels in Japan’s big cities. The hotel itself was excellent, the staff were super friendly and helpful and the breakfast buffet every morning was always fresh and well stocked and the staff up there were always so kind, helpful and generous. The hotel is also superbly located, with a 7-eleven connected directly and countless restaurants on the doorstep. It’s also great for shopping with so many flagship stores in and around umeda all within a short walk. Osaka Station City which includes a number of stations including Umeda is also only a 5-6 minute walk. This means the connection to Shin-Osaka for the Shinkansen is only a 5 minute ride on the Midsuoji line from Umeda. Oh and the lovely charming cafes of Nakazakicho are just a 10 minute walk away. I feel it’s THE best location in Osaka on many levels. Minasan, hontōniarigatōgozaimashita!

Staff was excellent and rooms were very nice! Met our expectations. We would go back again!
