Watari District Vacations & Trips from $908

The hotel is close to the train station and is very clean

Rather like taking a Ryokan experience and superimposing a luxury spa. We did not even manage to get our bags into the entry without having a young attendant in kimono insist upon her loading them into a luggage cart and bringing them inside for us. Staff had very little English but made every effort to make our sign-in seamless. We had a traditional tatami room, which was more like a small house in scale. The onsen experience was delightful. Breakfast and dinners we took in the Japanese restaurant, all top quality. We were the only non-Japanese guests (at least, we never saw any others). Our room had traditional floor seating but also a sitting area next to the balcony with regular chairs/table, lovely view and very quiet (at least until the buses started their motors in the morning).

Excellent location and service. No negative side

A wonderful stay at the hotel. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Free coffee in the afternoon in the lounge area. Wonderful views of the city from the room. Very convenient to get around Osaka with transport options within easy walk. Shops and restaurants right on the doorstep.
