Three time customer
Third time here. Comfy stay pretty close to Umeda. I say I’ll try a new hotel next time I’m in Osaka, but then ask why because it’s fine here.

The noise between the rooms is little loud. I wooke up at midnight because the next door was doing some noise, probably at the badroom. The location is convenient.

The hotel is in a great area, right next to the station. The staff was very professional and kind. They held onto my bags before check-in time while I explored the area. The room was clean, safe, and small, great for a solo female traveler. The hotel is on the older side, and they have laundry rooms. There is a 7eleven next to it, which makes it easy for luggage delivery service.

Location is the best thing about hotel…
3 Twin Beds. Incredibly cramped space. Really small bathroom. Only recommendation is that the location is really nice. No early check-ins.

Really close to the subway and bus stops, also has a 711 and Starbucks outside. The bathroom and room definitely had a bit more space than other hotels in japan.

Stayed at this place for 8 nights. RIHGA PLACE HIGOBASHI is in a great location for shoppers because it is between Namba and Umeda. Staffs are nice and able to communicate in English. Room is really clean plus alternative room services everyday to stay at. We could choose services between full services or limited services. We really appreciate our stay at this place.

Whenever we would put the clean room sign out our bed was always made messy with the sheets not fully tucked in and the cleaning lady would leave some of her long hair on the on the sheets or in the bath tub/sink

Over all a good option though the area of town is a business district so not ideal if you are looking for a walkable option to other tourist attractions. It is right next to a subway line though so moving around the city is easy.
Something that could use improving is the washing of the comforters as I found long hairs on mine.

We have been sending our luggage to our next hotel without a problem the whole trip but this hotel doesn’t offer that service. Told us to it ourselves with 7-11. And very rude about it too.

Sold as a double room but 2 people would struggle in this room as it was small even for 1 person. The toilet was so close to the bathroom door you had to step over it to get into the rest of the bathroom. I was on the 11th floor but the outside noise was excessive.
