Hotel The Lutheran Osaka

"The Lutheran was a stylish hotel and the staff were quiet friendly/helpful. It is located a little out of the way but easily got to by train, and is well located for Osaka Castle & the History museum. A handful of convenience stores & restaurants are also conveniently nearby, although more choice is available in the Umeda/Osaka station area 3 subway-stations away." - Ross Simpson

"Good value 3-star hotel just a short walk from Osaka Castle. Room was clean and comfortable and adequate for a single traveller, and internet connected. I was able to book a non-smoking room too. Reception staff were helpful although their English is limited. Coin operated laundry available (2 washers & 2 driers) and vending machines on site. Buffet breakfast (western) looked good but I didn't try it. Subway just a couple of minutes walk away to get you to downtown Osaka. Would be quite happy to stay there again. " - Patricia Nicholls

"A good and clean hotel with helpfull staff and good location being just opposite the main bus and railway station. We fully recommend this hotel to visitors to Kyoto." - Lee Weng Keong

"The hotel is located near the Tanimachi 4-Chome Metro Station and it was a bit difficult to find at first, but for everyone if you are talking the train to get to the hotel, come out of the 1b exit (about 4 minutes) from the Chuo Line, go up the stairs, head straight past the convenient store and it will be about a 30 second walk. Be aware that the hotel name is in Japanese.There isn’t much around this area, there are a few restaurants and Osaka castle is about a 10 minute walk. If you want shopping and entertainment head to Shinsaibashi station, and don’t worry, the train system there is really easy to navigate as the train lines and stops are all numbered and colour-coded. The staff spoke quite good English and they were quite friendly. The room and bathroom were decent size, clean, had nice modern decor and we had a nice 32 inch tv to watch from! They also had a western/Japanese breakfast buffet which was quite good for 1050 yen. Would definitely stay here again." - Lisa Dang
