The hotel is stunning!! We were traveling for a very special occasion, and the hotel sent us a special gift that consisted of three sets of chopsticks, cookies, and a voucher for a drink at their beautiful bar. This was very thoughtful, and we really appreciated it. There were 6 bottles of water refilled every morning and a ton of high-quality facial products, including bath salts for the tub. The location of this hotel is fantastic, close to everything, including the metro.

We stayed for 3 nights. I would rate this hotel as PERFECT. There are a few great things: - Super quiet.

Walkable distance to Dontonburi and Shinsaibashi shopping area. - Friendly and multi-lingual front desk. - Clean and spacious room. It's an extremely big hotel room in Japan. I will stay here again the next time visiting osaka.

I'm so glad I found the Hyatt Regency - this place is a gem! Located a few miles south of Osaka city, it's a great place to unwind after having your senses overstimulated in the big city! I took the subway everyday into the city center - about 15-20 minutes, but there is a free hotel shuttle that brings guests to JR Osaka station. I prefer the train! Hotel staff was very helpful, the buffet breakfast is fantastic, and the 2 pools are incredible. My only complaint, if you could even call it that,...
