Incredibly overpriced. Not a western-style hotel and demanded extra payment at check in because my 16 year old is not a "child". Room was super tiny and food was awful. Room was also on 5th floor and we were woken up all night by sirens. Read more

My stay at the OSAKA EXCEL HOTEL TOKYU was a bit disappointing. The room was smaller than expected and the hotel seemed a bit tired. The four-star rating promised didn't match the reality, as it felt more like a three and a half star hotel according to hotels.com. The room was so small that it was difficult to find a place for our suitcases. I didn't feel like the hotel offered full housekeeping, although we could request certain services. Overall, I was not thrilled with this accommodation. Read more

Premium Twin Room, beds were pushed together which we immediately had to seperate but had limited space to do so. The majority of one side of the room was taken over by an oversized daybed. This could be half the size in the room and still be very useful and make more space for the table and chair by the window to not make the space feel overcrowded. The closet is not enclosed here.

Premium Twin Room, beds were pushed together which we immediately had to seperate but had limited space to do so. The majority of one side of the room was taken over by an oversized daybed. This could be half the size in the room and still be very useful and make more space for the table and chair by the window to not make the space feel overcrowded. The closet is not enclosed here. This was my favorite bathroom set up of all places I stayed. The sink area had plenty of counter space for storage of personal items. The shower was huge and easy to operate to the right temperature. The breakfast buffet had the most fruit selection of all places I stayed at because they had bananas. The tricky part of this hotel is that you go up to level 16, then take another set of elevators down to the rooms. There wasn't a constant presence of taxis in front of the building but the front desk was happy to call for one and let us know when the car was downstairs.

This place felt very lux.
Location
It was close to a station but didn't stay long enough (only 1 night) to explore the area.
Staff
The staff was happy to assist with getting a taxi for our departure. This thoughtfulness is the reason I gave them 4 stars.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Bed was very soft and sheets very comfortable. The temperature in the room was perfect.
