Located near the Osaka Castle, this property with cosy accommodation is an ideal place for a pleasant and enjoyable stay.
Location Overlooking the Okawa River, the Castle Hotel stands on the Osaka side and is just a 2-minute walk from Tanmabashi and 20 minutes from Shin-Osaka Train Station. The hotel has an easy access to all the major attractions of the city as well as the neighbouring Kyoto City.
Rooms Tastefully furnished, the guestrooms are well-decorated and equipped with all the modern amenities to ensure you a pleasant and comfortable stay.
Restaurant Offering a quiet ambience, the onsite restaurant that serves French as well as Chinese cuisine, is an ideal place for a business meeting, a romantic rendezvous or any kind of family gatherings. The bar is also an ideal place to relax and unwind with a fine drink after a tiring day.
General Business travellers can avail the conference facilities for organising their official meetings in the comfort of the hotel. At leisure, you can workout in the well-equipped gymnasium or relax at the sauna.
The hotel is located right on top of a subway station. So it is convenient to travel. The room was nice, small (but good condition) and better than my expectation (after having read a lot about hotel room in Japan). Osaka Castle is within 10-15 min relaxing walk.

The hotel was easy to get to from Kyoto - straight down the Keihan line to Temmabashi station, and it's right on top. The hotel is right next to a department store, 3 food courts, the Aquabus, and a 5min walk to Osaka Castle. The hotel is in the government area so there isn't a lot to do close by, but with 2 train lines downstairs, the subway system was a breeze to get us around.
One drawback was the tiny double room which really didn't leave enough room for a dead cat to swing itself. We stayed there for the first two nights, then transferred to a twin room with river views. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! The hotel does need a reno to freshen up the rooms (& remove the tobacco smell), but is pretty good for the price.
Breakfasts were great at $9AUD each and include a full buffet breakfast. Internet is free in your room and is great for when you've had enough of Japanese TV. The front counter staff speak limited English, but were very courteous and tried their best to answer our queries.

Hotel was average, very small room and not as close as I had expected to the city ($25AUD cab fare from train station). Was close to the castle though which was good. Would probably not stay again.
