"Highlight of this hotel is the rooftop sauna that you can book for a private steam and cold plunge. I booked it during the day, but I’m sure it’s even more spectacular at night."

"Very nice. Helpful staff. Very nice restaurant that you must pay for (not included). Great location just steps away from the train (located across the street), though you cannot hear it. The north side exits out onto a cute little walking street with lots of small vendors/eateries."

The location is great, easy access from the trains, without needing to set foot on the open streets. There’s even a shopping mall and 14 story department store below, which other comparable hotels cannot match.
Beautiful lounge and bars leading to the reception in the sky above Osaka. Very professional but friendly and welcoming staff.
I’m sure all do, but our room on floor 55 had fantastic views, was silent, excellent quiet aircon, plenty of space, huge comfortable bed, excellent bathroom and...

Location there are so many lines through Namba and other near stations. Kumoron market and great shopping are on your doorstep. The hotel has a great laundry and kitchen area with microwaves there and in room. Water bottles are not provided but you can fill water & ice. Staff were really helpful as due to health problems our plans changed daily. They facilitated and helped all the way.
I only ate in the cafe once and they were gluten free conscious and the salmon was fab. Good service safe...

A very nice, modern, clean and friendly place to stay in Osaka. Staff are very helpful and in a good location to catch trains and buses. I will most certainly be staying here again!

Fabulous property and great oasis as the first hotel we stayed at and I wish we had stayed longer as Osaka has so much to offer and hotel so good. A little thing on amenities , the shower cloth was amazing. Free coffee and sesame snacks and candy in reception was a nice touch. Great location to get around.

Besides The Ritz Carlton (which is totally different style of decor and more old fashioned) the Intercontinental is the best luxury hotel in Osaka, situated by Umeda station in the business area. Staff all speak very good English and are very friendly. Rooms are very spacious compared to most hotel rooms in Japan, I booked a standard room and it was amazing, separate toilet and bathroom wash basins area and bath, really good amenities in room too.

Rooms were spacious and super clean. We didn’t eat in the hotel as lots of options in the shopping centre outside. We had an issue with the safe on the last day and they were there to fix it within minutes. Perfect place to stay.
