  Large room

  Large room close to namba station and 10 minute walk to dotonbori. Staff were lovely and helpful. Nice decor and comfy bed. Ok for a few nights as no window in room and bathroom drain a bit smelly. Would stay again.

  Wonderful, kind staff and fantastic location

  25 Apr 2020

  Osaka was our first stop for our four-week holiday in Japan. We chose this hotel for it's convenient walking-distance location to Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi, plus the easy access to train stations.On arrival to Osaka unfortunately one of our pieces of luggage was lost in transit due to airline error. When we arrive at Hotel Kanade we informed the staff of the situation and they were very kind to help us follow up with the airport staff the following day. The staff were so happy when they could notify us that our luggage had arrived in the lobby!We felt that the staff were really helpful and friendly and did their absolute best to speak fluent English with us (we tried using our basic Japanese skills and they were very supportive of us trying). Thank you so much for making our first stop in Japan a great one.The room was neat and tidy albeit smaller than what we're used to in Australia. However, it had everything we needed and we were comfortable during our stay. My favourite part of the hotel was the lovely open-air onsen area (female and male onsen were separate). It was a surreal experience to relax in the onsen and hear the background thrum of city life in the crisp night air. We had a bit of a misunderstanding regarding the attire for the onsen - we wore the pyjamas provided in the room because we didn't realise that the staff provide special robes for the sauna and onsen! Hopefully we didn't offend anyone with our mistake!There were plenty of restaurants within walking distance and we also visited a laundromat (it was a reasonable walk but not too bad - we found a great Indian restaurant on the way too) during our stay.Highly recommend this hotel! Thank you for the great experience!

  Good price and ok location

  The location is close to the main station about 10mins easy walk. And 10mins to the main shopping and food strips. The rooms were spacious. A large bathroom with a separate toilet.The breakfast was below average and not enough. Not worth eating in the hotel.

  Truly enjoyed our stay

  08 Nov 2019

  We stayed here for 9 nights and made this place our base for excursions to Kyoto, Nara, Kobe and Himeji.Checking in and out was very easy. Front desk receptionist was pretty helpful.Location was unbeatable. Namba Station exits 28 and 29 are right outside the hotel. From there you may access to the subways (Midosuji line, Yotsubashi line etc), JR Namba and Kintetsu. Dotonbori area is about 10 mins on foot. Just across the road there is a Life supermarket, and about probably 500m away a 24-hour Kohyo supermarket where we bought our breakfast from one of the days.Room was clean and comfortable enough. Sound proofing wasn't great but didn't interfere with our sleep.Toilet was just slightly cramped. Bathroom facilities were very good (toiletries, bath sponge and scrub, even facial toner and moisturizer).All in all, a hotel with strategic location and reasonable price. We will definitely stay here again if we come back to Osaka one day.

  Very nice hotel well located

  At 5 minutes walk from the pedestrian shopping streets of Osaka, Kanade is an excellent option. The room was very spacious and neat. Staff very friendly. Plus, they have a free Japanese style car park (where your car is "shelved". Quality/price ratio is excellent.
