Hotel il Grande Umeda  

Location and very good value for money!

I think it's worth spending a bit more on the bigger double room. The smaller room for single person is not as good as the bigger double room.

Very friendly and helpful staff. They have a couple of computers with Internet in the lobby that can be used for free. Located close to a subway station and a shopping arcade plenty of great places to eat&drink. Great value for money, totally recommendable.

Small and a little bit old rooms (at least ours), but it is all right for just a few days.

location is very convenient. room is cleaned and beds are comfortable.

all instructions in the room are in Japanese, I had to bring them down to the reception desk to get them translated. No wifi in room, only in the lobby.

Location.

Old hotel, it feels shabby although very clean.

The room was very clean. It was good that there was a kettle.

Although it says there is wired net in the room on the web page, actually there wasn't. Wifi was only available in the hall. So if you need internet, you can't use it in your room. Also, the staff could only speak a few words of English.

Staff was very friendly.

No Wi-Fi in the room.

Clean, good location.. Maybe a bit expensive, but that's Japan..!

Nothing

*Centrally located. Next to the subway station Minami-Morimachi (use Exit 2). This is also a jr station so you can use the jr Pass to go to Osaka and Shin Osaka stations to use further trains so you do not need to spend money on the subway for this. *Breakfast was plentiful for 700 yen *Clean room *They have PCs available for guests in a separate room. *The hotel is well built, on the 13th of April there was a Richter Scala 6 earthquake at 5.40 in the morning, and nothing happened. (In some hotels you see a note at the entrance to get out during an earthquake but this hotel seems safe in this respect.)

*The entrance hall is fantastic but once you get to the room, you see they are much smaller than those of other hotels that cost about the same. *Most of the staff do not speak English; I guess as it is a typical Japanese business hotel.

Location near to subway and convenience stores

Wi-fi only available in lobby area

Location is good, near MRT station. Clean. Value for money.

No wifi in room

The hotel isn't too far from Osaka station, though it is very easy to get lost in the area. The castle is also quite close. You don't get disturbed by the cleaners, and if you leave the no cleaning sign on they will leave a bag of fresh towels, new toothbrush, green tea and night wear/robe outside your door.

Noise travels in the corridors quite a lot. If you return and the cleaners are in your room you are told to wait for them to leave. The bathtub had grey stains in the bottom and needed a good bleach.

Close to the metro station and the market, room fares are cheap

A bit noisy because the hotel is closed to the highway

1. Very close to subway. Walk to osaka station is around 20min. 2. From kansai airport : take train to namba then subway to hotel for 980yen buing tkt from vending machine only!!and vice versa. 3 a few restaurants around hotel

Wifi in lobby. Not available in every room

Room was not cleaned well. A pair of dusty, dirty socks was found underneath the closet area behind the room slippers.

floor is dirty so much dust from carpet.

Within walking distance to subway, shopping alleys,super market & restaurants

Staff unable to speak slight english or manderin,taxi information not too good,room onlt hv Japanese green tea no coffee or english tea

It is just 3 min walk right from subway station and we follow the direction from one of the reviews and it was correct and easy. The english sign is small but just look for green writing on the building then you won't miss it. We walked to osaka jr station to take our train and it was easy as well around 20 min walk with backpack. At 3rd floor I had wifi in the room so not bad. Room is clean and standard for Japanese style. Not on the big space. We are happy with the price. There are some restaurants near hotel and street market near osaka jr station. To airport. Can take subway to namba then train kansai express train to airport .the combo ticket is 980yen :-) from vending machine.

Bed can be small for westerners

when we asked some staff to finding my letter ,which someone sent to me . Staffs are kindly and friendly . They changed toilet amenity daily.

The room are small but we can accepted it

Clean, well equipped inc. tea & coffee and comfortable bed. Free internet in room.

No view and very small room, but worth the money paid.

Staff were generally helpful and polite. Facilities were clean and neat. Located in close proximity to JR station; and accessible to numerous eateries and shopping. Also located close to 2 major shopping suburbs accessible within a few stations.

nice lobby, clean bathroom, close to metro station

the ice maker

Not so far from a JR station ...also like 20 minutes walk to the Osaka Station. Part of the staff have a good English ..other ones was a little difficult.

My room didnt have a good window shades ...so at 7:00 I had the bright sun on my face.

Quite near to the subway station, from Minamimorimachi exit 2, the hotel is in your left side, easy to find food, small but clean.

Very clean, comfortable, near to both subway and JR stations. Has restaurants and convenient stores near to the hotel. Tenjinbashi-suji shopping street is only 5 minutes walk from the hotel. Many good eateries and a good shopping spot. Once you exit the hotel, turn right. Walk straight until you see a pedestrian only street that intersect the street you are walking on. You won't miss it.
