Clean and friendly. Walking distance to Osaka palace and McDonald’s and 7-eleven for quick grab since we were traveling with toddlers. They have their own parking garage under the building that was a plus.

The hotel was fantastic. Two pillows were provided. But neither were to my liking. Breakfast buffet is a bit on the expensive side but quality was decent and staff were great.

We enjoyed staying here, however the surrounding area does not have many English speaking restaurants so it is best to travel further into the city to dine out.

Great location, helpful & friendly staff, and amenities. Can't beat a peekaboo view of Osaka castle! Nearby a good subway intersection for visiting Kyoto, Nara, the Osaka waterfront and Dotonburi and short walking distance to the historic castle. The breakfast buffet has an excellent croissant too. One of the top hotels in my Japan trip. I'd stay here again next time in Osaka. Only minor quibble- the room itself was non-smoking but the hallway smelled strongly of smoke; not sure that rule is being obeyed by other guests. Anyone who has issues with smoking residue might expect this.

There are dozens, if not hundreds, of budget/economy hotels in Osaka which offer near identical accommodation to The Lutheran Hotel. They all have a minimum of public spaces, tiny restaurants/coffee shops and very small bedrooms. They are also generally very affordable and perfect for independent travellers who don’t want to sit in their hotel all day. The Lutheran has slightly larger rooms than most, a very good breakfast buffet and wonderful staff. It is also located in a very quiet area ( most others are clustered around rail stations and shopping/nightlife). Best of all, it’s within metres of the spectacular Osaka Castle and its parks. It’s also less than 100 metres from entrance to a subway station connecting you to the rest of the city within minutes.

Didn’t seem too big. Clean, helpful friendly staff. Really enjoyed the buffet breakfast choices of American or Japanese choices. Chose this hotel because it’s right next to Osaka Park/Castle.

The location (to the Metro, Osaka Castle, Museum and amazing food), rooms, and employees were amazing and great. The coin laundry wasn’t so much since it took ¥400 to even dry the clothes (2 hours). But hey, laundry is laundry and needs to get done. Besides that I will definitely be staying again.

This property is in a very convenient location. Just walking distance to the Royal Palace, subway across the street and many restaurants. The room was nice and clean and the staff was very helpful and friendly. This is a very basic clean hotel with a restaurant in the lobby. It has a currency exchange machine in the lobby and vending machines that come in handy. The conveniences are great!

2 minutes to the subway station, 10 minute walk to Osaka castle and surrounding grounds. Staff were polite and courteous, rooms were small but more then adequate, bed comfortable but the pillows were to hard. Breakfast had plenty to Choose from and Was a good start to the day. Highly recommend this hotel.

Excellent location, close to the train station and to Osaka Castle. It is clean, reasonable size room. Rate is reasonable. The staff were excellent, impressed with their service. Their buffet breakfast was nice, really good spread of food. Just a tiny comment in the single room when I came back, just an unpleasant smell in the toilet, not that bad. Overall, I recommend this hotel to my family and friends who asked me where I stayed in Osaka.

Highly recommended modern hotel - great value for money and right next to the subway. Great buffet breakfast. Rooms were modern and spacious (though bed was hard). The surrounding area is somewhat sterile (offices)
