Lonely Planet review

Curving gracefully upward over the northern end of Shinsaibashi, the Hotel Nikko Osaka is a long-running luxury hotel that seems to get it all right, which perhaps explains the crowds of people who flock to it (or maybe it's because of all the good restaurants on the premises).

The Hotel Nikko Osaka, like others in this well-known chain, is an elegant luxury hotel that can be counted on for good service, clean rooms and English-speaking staff. The reception on the 2nd floor is spacious, clean and often busy. The employees here are well-trained and used to dealing with foreign guests (about a third of their guests are from overseas). All the rooms are Western-style and are very clean, including the bathrooms, and there are nonsmoking floors. There is no gym or swimming pool, but there are several good on-site restaurants and many brand-name shops. The hotel is right above Shinsaibashi subway station, which you can access directly by escalator. Overall, this is a typical Japanese luxury hotel where you get what you pay for.
