Hotel Hankyu Respire Osaka

This was the best stay we had throughout our 2 weeks trip to Japan! Initially I had the impression that the stay here will be very squeezy due the images shown during booking. Upon arriving at the lobby, we were early for the check in (supposedly 3pm) and staff informed they will allow early check in at 230pm instead of 3pm. The staff were all very attentive and had superb customer service. At around 220pm they suddenly allowed us to check in which the self check in process was so seamless, totally impressed firstly by allowing us to check in earlier, and the short process. Upon reaching our room, we were even more impressed! The room was spacious where i could open all 4 luggage at once. The view outside was cast upon the river. The feature by the door where we can place our winter jackets or clothes that could be reworn was so thoughtful. The only downside was the slightly smaller bathtub which we didn’t use. The table was slightly small for 2 pax as well. The hotel supports sustainability cleaning which allow us to choose the type or extent of room cleaning that we want which was great. Personally I totally loved the real time update of the laundry room of ALL the machines and time remained. It helped me reduced unnecessary trips to the laundry room to check on my laundry and when I want to do laundry, i’ll know whether there are available machine for use. Really appreciate this feature. Our only regret is not trying the breakfast. It looked so good and we would definitely come back for our next visit to Osaka and have their breakfast!

Very good location where it is the transport hub that connects to many lines and can bring you to many places within Osaka. Fast check in and check out using the machines. Highly recommended. This is my second time staying here.

Amazing location with connected walkway to train & subway station. Easy access to airport limo bus. Restaurants & shopping options abound.

The first time I stayed with grandniece and niece in this hotel! I used to stay at Hotel New Hankyu opposite this hotel but it is going to close down in January 2025. The location is so perfect with many shopping and eating places within 1 building 👏 Great when you are with family. Highly recommended 👍👍👍

Very convenient location, clean and cozy room with a nice city view, enjoyed the stay a lot!

The hotel cleanliness and location of the hotel were good. However daily buffet breakfast menu remained unchanged except ramen and udon were served on alternate day.
