The Hotel has fabulous location, nice and calm area facing the water cannel. fortunately do not feel far from the city center since the shuttle bus transfer directly from hotel to JR station all day long.

Bathroom immaculate and provided with all necessary items. The Swimming pool area very clean and organized along provided with all facilities in addition has elegant and helpful staff. splendid open buffet breakfast, delicious food and amazing staff and service.

Comfortable and quite

This hotel has a train station underneath which is so convenient. We used that train to go for a trip to Kyoto. It also has wonderful restaurants and shopping. There is a free shuttle bus to the Osaka station where we went to get the bullet train to Tokyo. Tanemura Nobuaki who was chief of front desk service was exceptionally helpful, his English is excellent and he showed me everything I needed, even how to get to the nearby swimming pool. The buffet breakfast was also very good.

The shuttle bus between the hotel and Osaka Station was fantastic! It runs like clock work every 15 minutes to and from each point. Surprisingly throughout the day the bus actually fills up (28 seater), but as mentioned, it's a short wait till the next one comes.

It was in a good location, the curtesy bus was a good resource to have access to JR- Osaka , the concierge staff were most helpful. I would like to acknowledge the American gentleman on the concierge desk,on the afternoon l arrived on Tuesday 18th of February and also,the 2 gentleman on the concierge desk on Thursday 20th in the morning. I will stay with RIHGA Royal Hotel Osaka when l,return. Thank you
