S.Training Center Hotel Osaka

It's a really nice room just a short walk from central Umeda. Although it is called a Training Center Hotel and there are some slightly different practices (shared bath times, female floors?) it is a really comfortable place to stay.

Location was about 10 minutes walk from Osaka station, which while not the best, they offered a free shuttle bus either way in the morning and afternoon which was really handy. Staff were really friendly and helpful, providing concierge service until 11pm at night. Many of the staff were fluent in English which was really helpful. At one point I called asking for extra pillows/fresh towels and although the staff member at the time couldn't communicate with me in English, he brought another staff member to my room to ask me what I needed and they promptly came back with pillows and towels (they said they only had one spare pillow, but took the time to find another pillow which we greatly appreciated!). Bedroom was spacious with air conditioner and humidifier. There was a full sized sink which was separate from the toilet/shower. There was also a shared bath, but we didn't use it. The neighbourhood is actually really lovely and quirky with a number of fine dining restaurants, and some lovely homely restaurants too. We wish we had more time to explore it! Note that there are two buildings, one is the accommodation and the other is the reception/dining area (across the road). They also have a small store in the lobby which sells some snacks/beverages/stationery and other items.

Love that the room was clean and comfortable, though a bit small (as are most accommodations in Japan). The staff have been incredibly helpful and kind despite the language barrier. LOVE the shuttle service to Osaka station - game changing for me. Yes, the location will feel quite far and exhausting from the station if walking so take advantage of that free shuttle which was way more comfortable. The hot bath was also very relaxing and quiet. Breakfast and lunch are offered for a cheap price but there some good breakfast and lunch options nearby so I took advantage of those instead. One of the employees at the reception desk helped me reschedule a reservation which was great and saved me a lot of trouble. I would stay here again!

The room is slightly small but very clean and smell quite good. There is a small bottle of water prepared in the room, which is quite helpful. Another good point is the table with an appropriate height close the bed, it is quite comfortable to temporarily work here.

The hotel is 5min walk from osaka station-which is really helpful. Also there is a 7/11 down the street-again very easy to navigate shopping. The hotel is quite, there are all needed amenities in the room. The room itself was small,but super comfortable,so i loved it. About the cleanliness we shouldnt even speak-impecable.
