1 km from Osaka station
It is almost 1 km away from the station so be prepared to walk! The hotel is more dated than the pics. It rained so I wish I choose a hotel closer to the train.

Great place to stay
Party of three adults, stayed for 2 nights in June. Hotel is an easy walk to Japan Rail and local subway stations. The neighborhood offers plenty of restaurant alternatives on the street or at the train station. Room was very nice and offered enough space for 3 adults with backpacks. Osaka is a great base for a day trip to Nara.

The photos make the hotel appear much more updated and welcoming than in reality! The location is in a backstreet, making it rather hard to find, and is not convenient to a subway station (at least 10 minute walk to the closest station, which, with luggage, is not ideal). The property itself has a similar feel to a motel, and our room had a view overlooking a cemetery (which was clearly not included in the property description). We had just come from Kyoto where we stayed in a hotel that had the same 3-star rating as Sonezaki, but that property was amazing - clean, modern, comfortable, safe, convenient and cost less. I would not recommend anyone to stay in Sonezaki unless you have no other options.

My stay
About 7/8 minutes walk from Umeda station. Market nearby is convenient. Room was clean. Don't expect much English from hotel staff.

size aside, everything was great!
The lady at the reception was kind enough to give us a bigger room as she said that our original room (which had a double bed meant for two) would not be able to fit our luggage - problem is, we only had one carry on suitcase so I was quite surprised to hear that. I’m really not sure how I would’ve reacted if we had been given our “original room”. The “bigger room” was quite snug as well - we could barely lay out suitcase open on the floor as well. The pillows were quite terrible but everything else was great - the bathroom was well designed and space efficient - the place was quiet and peaceful - and the staff members were pleasant. Great restaurants nearby

Shower was awful, the shower head was not adjustable with the water firing at you horizontally. Also, the shower had two settings, a fine mist or rapid jet spray. Most unpleasant shower ever!

If you don't mine the smell of food !
Newer hotel not far from subway stations , good size room. Stayed for 2 nights, my complaint was both nights at around 8 pm , the smell from the area restaurant would somehow get into my room? It was bad! They seem to be aware of the issue.

Very nice hotel with excellent location!
This is a very good hotel...just be aware that the shower and tub is Japanese style...otherwise you have to shower with a spray in the tub without a shower curtain. The toilet and wash basin are in separate areas. Nice and clean room. Excellent location about 10min walk to Osaka station. Professional staff...with dress coats.

Lovely hotel. Nice ceramic flooring and big enough room. Very clean and comfortable. Unfortunately noise filters through from the hallway easily. We were woken up multiple times through the night by other guests travelling through the hallway by our room. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The hotel is located near several restaurants and reasonably close to Osaka Station.

Clean convenient place to sty.
We were there during golden week so it was very busy. The place could have been brand new because it was fresh and spotless. We’ve were in need of a late stay due to midnight flights and the staff worked it out so we could check out late. Nice place but not strong on food and coffee amenities. Thank you.

Tiny hotel but clean and value for money. Location is around 15mins walk from metro. Only one thing that it’s quit difficult to find a cafe before 11am nearby. You have go to the metro station before that time.

洗い場とお風呂が別々、シャワーヘッドは売りにしてるだけナカナカだった、 洗い場の椅子が低くて足がつらかった。 デスクスタンドがつかずスイッチおし続けたら バチッと、火花がとんだ(^_^;)! 細かい点を言えば切りないが、 ベッドもバスローブも上質で肌に気持ちよかった。 椅子はクロスが、なんかチクチクした。

綺麗!広い!スタッフの女性いい方でした。 実は近くのホテルが汚過ぎて、改めて予約を取り伺いました。 想像以上に綺麗で安心しました。 お風呂がかなり大きくリラックス出来ました。 今後よりよくなるために一言。 朝にアメニティを補充してた若い男性は、 挨拶もなく、お客さまが近くにいる意識低かったです。

今回の宿泊で3回目ですが、1番悪かったように思いました。 トイレのドアと床の間にホコリの固まりがついていたり、シャワーヘッドの穴に髪の毛が詰まっていたり、清掃面で悪さが目立ちました。 掃除担当の外国人もエレベーターですれ違っても、無愛想な顔をして愛想も悪く、廊下では大声で会話をしていて、ドアの開け閉めの音もうるさかったです。 従業員の教育に力を入れてもらえるようにお願いします。
