Hotel Keihan Universal Tower
Desk staff was friendly and professional, though the house keeping help was on their phone at times, standing in the hallway. House keeping did not consistently give the Japanese style greeting to guests. No gym, no self serve laundry.

Odysis Suites Osaka Airport Hotel
The room was very clean and comfortable, well stocked with coffee packets and a hot water kettle. Staff was helpful but a little impatient at check out time. Area is quiet at night, the nearest subway rail line is several blocks away, but walking was almost as easy to nearby attractions.
