Room was on the smaller side. The room was tended to regularly. But our room had a persistent smell of BO that really hit us when we walked through the door. Not sure if that was a smell that lingered from cleaner who cleaned the room before we came in or a smell that got stuck from a previous guest. Facilities weren’t obvious (laundry etc) and we didn’t use them here. Staff were very attentive, helpful, and half spoke English. Location above Umeda/Osaka station was very convenient. The hotel was well sign posted.

We had a wonder stay at Hotel Granvia. The property is located in Osaka Station which makes travel to anywhere so convenient. There are tons of food options and a huge mall all connected to the hotel/station. The staff was exceptional - we had an issue with our luggage forwarding service and they jumped in right away and did everything they could to get the issue resolved. The room was clean and quite spacious - we did get one of the premium rooms, so I can't speak to the size of any other rooms. We will absolutely stay here again!

The room was a little dated. The room was clean. It had the bare amenities. One of the best items was their massage service. The massage is shiatsu , the massage therapist was one of the best shiatsu massage persons that I've had. This hotel is convenient to the subway system , there is shopping nearby.

Based on the property name and pictures on Expedia, plus the proximity to a station, I thought the cost Wes’s worthwhile. The lobby certainly is luxurious as did the restaurants, as well. Unfortunately, the room we selected was smaller than expected; 2 people with 2 carryon luggage and 2 backpacks is too much for the room selected. The room is outdated, with peeling wallpaper, a bit of an overwhelming smell of mold/mildew, creaky floors, very small counter space in the bathroom, and rust on some of the nails, plus not enough outlets in key areas (e.g., both sides of bed). We made do, as we were there for one night. The cost performance was not as high as was anticipated. The staff are friendly and the location is excellent, but the rooms need to be updated and perhaps be made bigger to accommodate for a bit more luggage. I understand now the point of such a room size; it just wasn’t the correct room for us. Maybe next time we will select a bigger room (if available). Thank you for accommodating us on a whim.

Convenient for Rail Travel
Third trip to Osaka and the third time I've stayed here. It's a little pricier than other options, but the rooms are clean, albeit a little small (especially the bathroom!) and the location can't be beaten as it's on almost all the main train lines, and only one or two stops from those it's not on. Food is plentiful and there's a Daimaru mere steps away from the entrance on the 1st floor. Despite the extra cost, I'll most likely stay here next time I'm in Osaka again simply for the convenience...

Really good location just above JR Osaka Station. Breakfast is good too. However room size is really small even there is no space to lay down a 28 inch luggage. We booked two rooms for three of us. For the price we paid, I think the room size is reasonable in Japan. Overall we are pretty happy with this hotel.

Hotel in great location!
The hotel location is very convenient and perfectly located between lots of shopping stores and transportation. Easy walking distance to everything. Enjoyed our stay. Initial room was terribly small so we asked them to move us. They found another with better layout for additional $2,000 yen. Overall the hotel location is great next to Daimaru.
