Sumiyoshi Higashi Station × Recommended Accommodation For Company TripsHighly rated for customer service and hospitality at Hotel·Ryokan

Whenever I shared requests or questions with the front desk (such as how to get additional coffee or amenity requests), they responded promptly. I asked the front desk several times during this stay, and each time they kindly assisted me with a smile, for which I am very grateful. The location is close to the station, and the Room was very clean and hygienic—I would like to stay again next time.

The front desk staff came from various countries, but everyone spoke excellent Japanese and was incredibly kind. The property was clean, and the Room was spacious. I would like to stay here again.

Unlimited fun—all free, including karaoke, a hot stone spa, arcade games, and massage chairs. All-you-can-drink alcohol from check-in was very satisfying. The “light” evening snacks were more than enough—an all-you-can-eat spread… I couldn’t eat much myself, but there was even a bartender who made cocktails for us! Breakfast was excellent! Personally, the sweets were a bit too sweet for my taste… In any case, thank you very much to all the staff.

I stayed for two nights with my daughter with breakfast included. First of all, the Hotel was clean, and the staff had a great, welcoming atmosphere. The drink bar, one complimentary alcoholic welcome drink, and the fun service of making and eating takoyaki ochazuke yourself were also a nice touch. From the Room, Tsutenkaku looked absolutely beautiful, but the Room felt smaller than I expected—you can’t really open two suitcases. The shower water pressure was strong, and it was easy to adjust the temperature. Amenities: towels are exchanged upon request, and you can take as many loungewear sets and toothbrushes as you need from the lobby. There was also a hair iron in the Room, which was very helpful for women. It was also great to have a coin laundry on the first floor. Everything at the breakfast buffet was delicious; I just wish there had been kushikatsu on the second day’s menu. It was also very helpful that they could store our luggage both before check-in and after check-out. I would definitely stay here again when visiting Osaka.

The hotel is comfortably pleasant and clean, so you can stay without any inconvenience. The breakfast is delicious, and the staff are wonderful. If you’re coming from another prefecture to visit Suminoe Boat Race Track, it’s an ideal choice. There are many great places to eat nearby, and it also has easy access to the subway, making it a very convenient hotel to use.

I stayed here because I had a concert at Gorilla Hall Osaka. It was in a convenient location and easy to reach from the station without getting lost. The Hotel was clean overall, but there was one disappointing thing... The TV remote control was so dirty that I hesitated to touch it, and that was the only downside. The free massage chairs were perfect for relaxing my tired legs and lower back after the concert. I also appreciated the free breakfast. I will stay here again when there is another concert at Gorilla Hall Osaka. I rated my satisfaction as 4, hoping for improvement with the remote control. Thank you.

It’s conveniently close to Sakaihigashi Station, and it has become my regular Accommodation.

I discovered this place on TikTok and decided to stay during the Expo. Conveniently located near the station, with a convenience store and coin laundry nearby. This is my second time staying here. For meals, both sushi rice and plain white rice are available, making it hard not to go for seconds! The egg yolks are rich, so I highly recommend trying TKG (tamago kake gohan). The large public bath offers a shampoo bar and even has a covered open-air bath—perfect for relaxing as long as you like. Free iced tea, coffee, snacks like rice crackers, and cookies were also delightful touches. True to its name "Namba," I walked back from Namba Station and even explored Shinsekai on foot. I'll definitely stay here again when visiting Osaka!

Directly connected to Tennoji Station, it’s very convenient, and the staff are very friendly! The Room is clean, and the air conditioning works well! One downside is that the elevator from the 2nd floor is extremely slow, so I recommend taking the Hotel’s dedicated elevator from the 1st floor.

Even before our stay, you emailed to let us know that the Room we had reserved would not have the view we requested, which left a very positive impression on us. After reading these Reviews, I was a little worried about how long check-in might take and about the Room’s smell, but there were no issues at all. That said, I felt the check-in process could be made a bit quicker. We were completely satisfied with everything—the view from the Room, the atmosphere, and how easy it was to use the bathroom area. Above all, every staff member was full of hospitality and truly wonderful. It made us feel reassured and happy. We also liked the Club Lounge’s pleasantly casual atmosphere—it wasn’t stiff or formal at all. We enjoyed drinks such as vodka freely. When we visit Osaka again, I’d like to make a Reservation for a Room with a north-facing view and stay here again.

I stayed here along the line for a concert in Takaishi City. The location was convenient, check-in was straightforward, and the room was spacious—overall a very comfortable stay. As a personal note… the bathtub felt a bit shallow. Also, my name was entered incorrectly at check-in, but the front desk staff were very pleasant, so it didn’t leave me with a bad impression. If I have the chance, I’d like to stay again and make use of the on-site Facilities as well.

I stayed the night before a hospital appointment, and it was so close that I didn’t have to worry even if I overslept. The Hotel is simple, and the front desk is pleasantly straightforward without being overly friendly. However, the unit bath shower curtain smelled. Since it’s between two stations, there are few shops or convenience stores nearby, which is inconvenient, but the area is quiet, easy to walk around, and safe.

Located in the heart of Shinsekai, it was very convenient and I was very satisfied. I would have preferred a slightly larger toilet, but the value for money is excellent. I would like to stay again.

My mother in her 70s stayed here the night before visiting relatives. This was her third stay. There are many Hotels in Tennoji, so I suggested we try a different Hotel for a change, but she said, “Via Inn is the best! If there’s availability, I want to stay here!” The staff were friendly and welcoming, the Room was clean, breakfast was delicious, and it’s just a short walk to Tennoji Station. Security also felt solid, so I think it’s a Hotel where you can stay with peace of mind.

There was a refrigerator under the desk, so I couldn’t work at the desk. I wish this had been clearly stated in the Reservation details. I arrived exhausted and just wanted to finish my work in my Room, so I was really disappointed. According to Reviews, it seems guests could freely use the restaurant on the 2nd floor, but there was no guidance about that. It’s probably a popular Hotel, but the walls are quite scratched. Even considering that, the price is reasonable. I didn’t mind the surrounding atmosphere since I’m the type who finds it interesting. Depending on where I need to go for work, I would stay again.

Since we stayed on a Friday, it was very affordable, and the top-floor view was great—my elderly father was delighted. The Room was clean, and since we only needed a place to sleep, it was more than enough. Being in the city, we expected parking to be expensive, but it only cost 1,100 yen, which was a great deal. The front desk staff were very polite. However, because there were many international guests and check-in took time at reception, I think it would be helpful if Japanese guests had the option of self check-in.

A Plan with check-out until 1 PM at the same price was very helpful! I will consider using this again.

I had a zazen meditation experience and tried shakyo (Buddhist sutra copying). It was very relaxing. The zazen session was mainly for international guests, but I still enjoyed it and found it a great experience. They kindly mailed me the shakyo materials they had forgotten to give me, along with a letter—thank you very much. I was able to relax at such a thoughtful Accommodation. I also received a leaflet map of the temple district, but I didn’t have enough time to visit many temples, so next time I’d like to set aside more time for that as well.

The staff kindly assisted us when we left our luggage before check-in. The Room was clean, quiet, and allowed for a good night's sleep.

We stayed here for sightseeing in Osaka. As it is a new Hotel, it was very clean, well located, and conveniently close to the station. The Room was also well cleaned, and the staff were excellent. The price was reasonable, and we are considering making this our regular place to stay. We will use it again on our next trip to Osaka.
