Hotéis em Kita, Osaka

Great location for a great hotel Wifi not complimentary. At a rate of $17/day I think it is too expensive...

Friendly staff, great lounge on the 35th with live music.

Ive stayed at the Ginza location and thought Id give this one a try. They are pretty much identical- clean modern excellent location and courteous staff #40then again it is Japan#41. About 2 min from the subway and 4 from the JR station. From Kansai take JR train to Tennoji and then JR Osaka loop to Kyobashi Station. This took me less than an hour. Most of Osaka is about 10 min by subway from here. There is a well stocked convenience store and coffee shop on the ground floor and a few across the street. Across the street are also a shopping/restaurant complex and the Panasonic headquarters complex which has two floors of excellent restaurants #40catering to workers in the area so its good and fairly priced#41 and of course the cool Panasonic showroom. Another eating option is the Daiei department store next to Kyobashi Station. They have tons of prepared food as well as a big grocery store. As for safety of the area I dont remember seeing homeless people anywhere. And even if I did I always felt safe everywhere I went in the area- Im from a nice middle class area in the SF bay area and feel 10x safer in Osaka. I didnt even bother to take my laptop off of the desk when I went out during the day. The hotel does not have wifi #40surprisingly#41 but has free Ethernet- cable provided. *figure out how to turn your laptop into a hotspot and youre set!* I would stay here again and probably look for their chain on my next trip to Japan.

Clean, convenient, comfortable. Staff were delightful. Easy walk to train station. Room was small but not cramped.

Fantastic location. You follow the tracks toward the Osaka train station, pass an underground shopping area and you are there in less than 5 min. Everything is well maintained, a reasonably-priced French restaurant is next to the reception (8th floor). Nothing really.

During a one month visit to the Kansai area this was the best hotel I stayed at among several in both Osaka and Kyoto including two 'luxury' hotels. The ANA Crowne knows about balance of service. The entire staff was professional, well organized and provided the smoothest, most comfortable and truly accommodating environment. Everyone knew what they were doing and worked well as an efficient skilled team. I have only praise for this hotel. I travel in Japan often and I plan to make The ANA Crowne my first and probably only choice in Osaka.

The service from the staff, their politeness, smile and assistance.
