Experience of the stay
■ Check-in and Lobby Atmosphere
What I felt immediately upon arrival was the calm atmosphere of the lobby. The lighting is soft, and the decor is unified in a wood-tone interior, which avoids the hustle and bustle often felt in city hotels. The staff’s guidance was polite, and the check-in process was smooth, providing a sense of reassurance even for first-time visitors.
■ Welcome Service (Intergate Lounge)
A unique charm of this hotel is the "lounge service that changes based on the time of day".
• Morning health smoothies
• Afternoon coffee, tea, and soft drinks
• Evening happy hour (wine, etc.)
• Late night rice soup with dashi
Being able to enjoy this multiple times a day is a delightful point. Particularly, the late-night dashi rice soup hits the spot when feeling a bit peckish at night and is a thoughtful touch that enhances guest satisfaction.
■ Guest Room (Standard Type)
The room is not excessively large, but the design is very efficient, providing no sense of oppression.
• The bed is comfortable, with a thick mattress that properly alleviates fatigue
• The desk is spacious enough for PC work
• The lighting can be adjusted, which helps create a relaxing atmosphere at night
• Equipped with an air purifier
The bathroom is brightly lit with a large mirror, and the shower pressure is adequate, making it comfortable. The amenities are sufficient, and the bath salts were particularly nice for relieving travel fatigue.
■ Breakfast
The breakfast is a Japanese-Western buffet with a moderate variety, giving a high-quality impression to each item. There were a few Osaka-esque dishes too, such as "freshly baked bread" and "Japanese side dishes using dashi", which were delicious and perfect for starting the day.
■ Location
Slightly removed from the center of the Umeda area, it's at a distance perfect for those who dislike the noise around the station. It can be conveniently accessed by walking from JR, subway, or Hanshin, and there are multiple convenience stores nearby, so there are no worries.
■ Things I Noticed (if I had to mention)
• The lounge tends to be slightly crowded during peak times
• Those looking for larger room sizes might find them a bit compact
However, these points are not major negatives, and considering the balance with pricing, I was quite satisfied.
■ Overall Rating
I believe this hotel, offering a balance of "level of service", "cleanliness", and "accessibility", is a cost-effective option in the Umeda area. It's a hotel that can be confidently chosen for both business and sightseeing.
Experiences during the trip
I stayed at this hotel before heading to Kansai Airport the next morning. I enjoyed coffee in the lounge before boarding the morning bus and grabbed a takeaway. I definitely want to return and stay here again.
