Lantana Osaka

We stayed for two nights at this hotel during our trip to Japan, and for us it was convenient. It's just next to Juso station which is operated by JR, so as we had a JRpass it was convenient for us to go on an excursion to Nara. However, you waste a lot of time to visit Osaka, since it's far from all the interesting touristic areas, and you have to go 1-2 stations with the train to reach the metro stops, so it could take from 40-80 minutes to get to some of the touristic neighbourhoods in Osaka. The rooms are very spacious and beds are comfortable.

It is in easy walking distance of the station, and there is a convenience store right around the corner. The staff are very friendly and efficient, English was no problem! The room itself was clean, comfortable, and well suited for my admittedly basic needs. The shower had good water pressure.

Wonderful stay, the staff were very friendly and helpful in accommodating our requirements. The check-in process was brief, the room is quite spacious considering Japanese standards. Room was cleaned well, and the amenities provided daily is as expected of Japanese hotel standards. All the amenities were high-quality. 2 supermarkets are conveniently located a minute-walking distance. Bus stations aren't far (also 1-2 minute walk) that has access both Osaka & Shin-Osaka. If quick access to these train stations is a top-priority, then I would not recommend this hotel since it takes 10-20 minute to get to the station depending which one, and the busses are frequent (every 10-20 minutes)

- Very big room in comparison to Japan standards. Separate toilet, wash basin area, bathtub and shower area. So, when one is using toilet, the other one can get ready, thus saves time. - Great hospitality by the reception staff. One gentleman even too extra efforts and greeted customers in their native language. All of them were polite welcoming and approachable. - Work space, Hi-Speed internet and all amenities that you can think of for a comfortable stay was present in the room. - Train station is 4-5 minutes walk away. 2-3 station away to get to city centre. - Great neighborhood with many restaurants, supermarkets, 7-Eleven and Family mart. There was even Don-Quijte store at a radius on 3-4 minutes' walk which is open until 1AM. - Microwave is available at the reception area for guests use with spare cutleries.

The double room was big. Neat and clean room and communal spaces. Convenience stores nearby. Comfortable bed. All the necessary amenities were provided. Welcoming staff with decent English. Despite the location, I still felt safe around the area.
