Livemax, Rokko Island hotels

"Spent 8 nights at rhe Royal Park Canvas in Osaka Kitahama area ans had a great experience. The hotel was easy to get to with multiple metro entrances nearby but is far enough away from the really big crowds of people. It's also situated near the river/water so it makes for a nice evening walk. There are lots of cafes, restaurants ans convenience stores nearby as well so lots of options. It's also roughly a 20-30 min walk to Osaka castle and only a 15 min train ride to Dontonburi. Front desk floor is on flr2 and the staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful. There are toiletries on the check in floor so you can definitely save on packing space and leave your toothbrush or hair comb at home. The hotel also has a buffet breakfast for an extra charge and it was pretty delicious. It boasts unlimited coffee, smoothies, yogurt, upon, curry, eggs, bacon and much more. We enjoyed having this as an option in the mornings. Breakfast runs till 10am. Our room was spacious for Japanese standards and had a beautiful rain shower and a deep soaking tub in it. Cleaning was provided daily for the rooms (different from north American practices) and everything was always immaculate. The hotel also has in house laundry, which was a life saver. 600 yen for a wash and dry and availability of the machines can be monitored on your phone in real time (Japan is legit the future). Hotel staff were also lovely and super helpful with luggage shipping service. Would highly recommend. We certainl"

"Hotel has many shopping stores. It also has direct access to Umeda Station which has access to many lines. The property has a grocery store and McDonalds on the basement floor, many different restaurant/food options between floor 2-8, and also a Daiso. It has a shared laundry facility with a washer/dryer combo for 700 yen per load. Very convenient location."

"Great place to stay. Located in central place to all transit. Love the spa. "

"We are happy with the size of the room which is much bigger than the ones in Kyoto and Tokyo. The Osaka station is about 5 minute walk and there are a plenty of restaurants in the area. Lawson (the convenience store is next the hotel where you can get drinks, snacks and breakfast. "
