[2025 Osaka Hotels] Travel Guide for Cross Hotel Osaka (Updated Jul)

I went to Osaka for 3 nights and 4 days I stayed at Osaka Cross Hotel near Dotonbori It was within 10-15 minutes walking distance from Namba Station (there were a lot of people on the street so I couldn't go fast.. I assume you walk very slowly). I was busy walking around so I didn't actually take many pictures of the room, but I wrote down my satisfying experiences while staying at Cross Hotel. 1. Ichiran Ramen Are you going to eat Ichiran Ramen when you go to Osaka? There's an Ichiran Ramen branch on the 2nd floor of the building right next door I saw it when I went to Don Quijote and took a picture It's really right next door ㄷㄷ I was hooked on Ichiran so I went there for breakfast all three days and there was no line! It's really close If you go around 10:30 in the morning, it's completely empty ㅎㅎ 2. Don Quijote It's right in front of you if you cross the crosswalk in front of the hotel;; It's a branch, so it's a bit small, but it has almost everything. You can walk to the main Don Quijote store in 5 minutes. After shopping at Don Quijote, if you go to the hotel, it's a bit of a hassle, but it's close, so it's nice. 3. Glico sign It really doesn't even take a minute to walk... If you go in the morning, there are no people, so you'll definitely get a great shot..!! I took 500 pictures in the morning and evening for about 3 days.ㅋㅋ 4. Amenities Disposable toiletries I don't remember the types of amenities, but they used basic disposable products like toothbrushes, combs, shower towels, etc., which are eco-friendly products. You can choose as much as you need yourself. There's a large bathtub in the bathroom. When you check in, they give you bath salts and bath salts. Use them when your legs hurt after shopping in the evening. Your blood circulation improves, so you can sleep well, and your skin becomes super soft as if you've been to a hot spring. It's amazing..!! 5. Water, towels, and room cleaning Some places charge extra for water and towels, but here, they refill them with new ones every day for free (the water comes in a can, which is amazing) Room cleaning is also free every day. Some places don't do it at all or charge for it because it's a multiple-night stay... I had a laptop and a DSLR with me for work, so Honestly, I hesitated a bit to clean the room because of my valuables, but they even opened up my pajamas that I threw out in a hurry in the morning, and their sense was just...the best.ㅠㅜㅜ 6. Friendly staff who can speak Korean At first, I had a hard time because I didn't know how to use the elevator (If you don't swipe your room card on the elevator, the buttons won't work;) When I asked them something, they were really kind and explained it to me in Korean. When I asked if water and towels were free, they understood right away ㅜㅜ 7. There's an ice water purifier, microwave, and ice bucket on each floor I like cold drinks with ice, but this is really It was so good. I put it in beer and drinks and used it very well. 8. Hair dryer Many Japanese hotels have weak hair dryers, and I was worried because my hair is thick, but the hair dryer was stronger than my Dyson;; 9. Umbrella in the hotel It suddenly started raining so I didn't have an umbrella, but when I tried to buy one at the convenience store, a regular plastic umbrella was 870 yen...!! It was about 8,500 won so I didn't buy it because I felt bad about wasting money;; When I got rained on, they lent me an umbrellaㅠㅠ The service was really great.. If you ask the front desk when it suddenly rains, they'll lend you a pretty umbrella with Cross Hotel written in red! 10. 3rd floor breakfast restaurant 2nd floor gym I couldn't use the hotel breakfast because I was on a food tour, but I happened to hear from people who had breakfast in the elevator and they said it was really delicious. I ate so many different things while traveling that I felt like my stomach was going to burst, but I didn't have enough stamina to go down to the 2nd floor and exercise, so I couldn't take pictures..;; I booked a triple room with three beds, so I couldn't stay in a room with a view of the Glico sign, but it was on the 12th floor, so the street view was pretty good, and it was quieter than I thought, even though it was on the main street. I hope this was a good tip for those who were curious about Osaka Cross Hotel^^ #Hocation #HotPlace #OsakaTravel #OsakaHotel #Osaka Have a fun Osaka trip everyone! #FreeStayEvent

If you are traveling to Osaka or Kansai region, this is one of the hotels I would definitely recommend. I used it once when I traveled to Kyoto before, and I remember the room condition was so good, so I used Cross Hotel again this time on my trip to Osaka. Most Japanese hotels have small rooms, but Cross Hotel is quite spacious and the bathroom size was especially good. It felt like a private bath. This may vary from room to room, so you should check. The biggest advantage of Cross Hotel is its great location. It is located right in front of Dotonbori, and there is Don Quijote across the street, and it is also very close to Namba Subway Station, so it is easy to get around. You can also rent a baby crib for 1,000 yen, so I think it is a good hotel for family trips. I will 200% use it again on my next trip. You can also use the lounge, so I think it is the best for those who like to drink. #HotelRecommendation

#Osaka View Hotel Cross Hotel Osaka is located in a prime location at the junction of Shinsaibashi and Namba in the center of Osaka. It is only a 3-minute walk from the subway "Namba Station" and a 5-minute walk from "Shinsaibashi Station". It is close to the Dotonbori River and the Glico Runner landmark. The geographical location is the best starting point for shopping and sightseeing. Opposite the hotel is the 24-hour Don Quijote Hall, and a one-minute walk will take you to Shinsaibashi Shopping Street. Surrounded by drugstores, department stores and popular restaurants, the hotel perfectly meets travelers' needs for shopping and exploring Osaka's nightlife. The hotel was fully renovated in 2020, combining modern minimalist style with practical design. The guest rooms are spacious (standard rooms are 24-27 square meters), and some room types have views of the Dotonbori River. The rooms on the 6th and 7th floors can even overlook the Glico Runner billboard, allowing travelers to easily check in without the crowds. The room is thoughtfully equipped with a bathtub, a Dyson hair dryer, a capsule coffee machine, a dry and wet separated bathroom and a separate living room, which greatly enhances the comfort of your stay. In terms of public facilities, the "CROSS Floor" on the top floors 13-14 provides luxurious suites and exclusive services, while the "meet lounge" on the 3rd floor provides residents with a social space that combines board games, light meals and work. Breakfast is served in buffet style, combining local Osaka specialties such as "Dote Yaki" stewed beef tendon, freshly fried steak and mixed juice, and using sustainable seafood ingredients, taking into account both deliciousness and environmental protection concepts. In addition, the hotel provides meticulous service, including multilingual reception, luggage storage and transfer assistance. It is also close to Nankai Railway Namba Station, making it convenient to travel to and from Kansai Airport. Although the room rates are slightly higher and there is a lack of self-service laundry facilities, its irreplaceable geographical advantage still makes it the first choice for accommodation in the Shinsaibashi area.

I love Japan so much

We stayed at Cross Hotel Osaka and visited various places on foot. The location was great, making it easy to get to Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi, and there were many great restaurants, making it perfect for a gourmet trip! In Kyoto, we strolled along the alleys near Kiyomizu-dera, feeling the charm of traditional houses and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. The tempura rice bowl is a must-try! The crispy tempura and savory sauce were truly impressive. There are many great spots for leisurely photography, and if you want a trip full of Japanese sentiment, I highly recommend it!

Cross Hotel Osaka is a fantastic boutique-style hotel in a perfect location—right in the middle of Namba, just a short walk to Dotonbori. The modern design and stylish decor give it a chic feel. My room was spacious for a Japanese hotel, with a very comfortable bed and a well-equipped bathroom with both a shower and a soaking tub. The complimentary amenities, including coffee and tea, were a nice touch. The breakfast had a great variety of Japanese and Western dishes. Since it’s in a busy area, some street noise could be heard at night, but it wasn’t too bad. For the price and location, it’s an excellent choice for travelers who want to be in the heart of Osaka’s action!

#HotelAccommodationEvent It was a great experience from the hotel check-in, which was the start of the trip. The location was so central that I could see the Glico sign outside the window, so I didn't have any trouble sightseeing or shopping even on hot days. I visited for an anniversary, so I felt good because I received a heartfelt letter and a small gift, and the person who checked me in and cleaned the place were all very kind.

#Osaka Hotel 📍 Cross Hotel Osaka ᴄʀᴏss ʜᴏᴛᴇʟ ᴏsᴀᴋᴀ 2-5-15 Shinbashisuji, Central District Downstairs of the hotel is Dotonbori, where the most abundant nightlife is located. It is a 5-minute walk from Namba Station, and the transportation is very convenient. Friends who like nightlife can choose this hotel. There are shopping, dining and entertainment nearby. The hotel lobby service is full of details. Don't worry about not understanding Japanese. The front desk staff speaks fluent English and is very friendly and polite. The service is good. The privacy is high. You need a key to enter the floor. The room type we stayed in this time was a superior double room, non-smoking room. The hotel design was very novel and stylish, not a traditional hotel design. There were crossbars on both sides of the bed, which was very convenient. The room is very spacious, with enough space to open the suitcase easily. The hotel has a separate dry and wet bathroom space, which is very well designed. The bath products are branded ᴘʀᴏᴠɪɴsᴄɪᴀc, a Japanese organic bath brand. The shampoo and conditioner are of high quality, and the shower gel is clean and refreshing. The only downside is that although we were arranged to stay on the 10th floor, it was a bit noisy at night and the sound insulation was average. The room already has a USB plug, which is very convenient 🌟 Tips: 1) As the weather in Japan is relatively dry, there must be a humidifier in the hotel room to increase the humidity. Remember to keep your skin moisturized. 2) There is a parking lot downstairs, which is very convenient for those who drive by car. 3) Toilet supplies: For example, toothbrushes, toothpaste, cotton pads, erasers, shower caps, combs, etc. need to be picked up in the lobby.

Find some photos and post them😆 I bought hotels in Osaka through Trip.com last December I bought the cross hotel in Osaka and the Hotel Grand Bach Kyoto Select in Kyoto The location of both is quite recommended very convenient transportation and close to the lively circle There is food everywhere The point is that buying through Trip.com is much cheaper than buying from other apps And out trip com is quite stable I have purchased so many times that I have never been able to check out after arriving It makes me feel at ease every time

❣️The location is super convenient, in the most bustling heart of Osaka. Just a stone's throw from Dotonbori, Ebisu and subway entrances. There are some nearby places that need no introduction. I think 90% of Hong Kong people will have been there. ❣️ You can see the big advertisement of solid fruit outside the window of the room. The rooms are spacious and the bathroom space is excellent, with personal items self-replenishing in the lobby. ❣️ Breakfast has Japanese and Western options, every day is a little different, even eating for several days did not repeat, the taste is also very good. ❣️ The hotel location is the biggest highlight, the price is reasonable, the space is also very sufficient, the service is good and enthusiastic. #JapanKorea CityHotels #Halloween2023 #OverseasTravel #Dotonbori #Ebisu #Osaka Attractions #Osaka Free Trip #Japan-Korea city hotels
