Hotel Consort Shin-Osaka (Osaka, Japan)

Guests like that the Wi-Fi is free and say that it works very well. They do not struggle to connect, or have any significant problems with signal strength. It works quickly, so you will be able to browse the internet and keep in touch with business contacts, family, and friends without problem.

The hotel is next to a subway station and train station, allowing quick and easy travel into central Osaka and a direct link to Kyoto. Shin-Osaka station, from where you can catch the high speed train to Tokyo, is only one subway stop, or a ten-minute walk, away.

You do not need to worry about forgetting anything at this hotel as you are provided with everything you might need. As well as the usual toiletries and hairdryer there are bath robes and slippers, with extra items like toothbrushes and toothpaste, hairbrushes, and razors, provided by reception.

Hotel rooms in cities are often on the small side and rooms in Japan particularly so, certainly by western standards. This hotel is no different, with guests finding the rooms to be compact, saying that there is little room for any luggage, and bathrooms are cramped to use.

Guests enjoy the breakfast at the hotel, saying that the choice of Japanese items varies daily, but there is too little Western choice for some. If you would prefer something else, there are 24-hour convenience stores nearby so you can get something to start the day.

It would seem that smoking is still permitted in parts of this hotel. This has not gone down well with some guests, who do not like the smell of smoke that lingers in the air.
