Candeo Hotels Osaka Shinsaibashi

Hotel breakfast was great! Location is great, 3 minutes walk to the popular Dotonbori; similar time to get to the nearest train station. There is no laundry service, but they do provide self-served washing machines - which is awesome! There's a spa at the top level (gender separated, no less), with an indoor and outdoor pool. The temple at the first floor is a nice touch.

Our family of 5 has a good 2 night stay for our first visit to Osaka. Very conveniently located near the heart of the Dotonburi, the Candeo provided a clean and comfortable space to stay. We had a single room with 3 wide single beds and two flat couches that turn into narrow sleeping beds. The capacity 5 room was located on the corner giving us two large glass window walls to view the streets below. The streets were quite busy all day. Occasional fire truck or ambulance sirens, and nightly motorcycle groups would roll by at about 10 pm. But would quiet down after that and sleeping was not a problem. The location is most convenient if you want to be near the Dotonburi. The nearest station is Shinsaibashi if you’re coming from Shin-Osaka station. We used the covered mall streets to access the Shinsaibashi. Osaka Namba station was a convenient walk as well. For check in and out days we rolled our 30” suitcases to/from Shinsaibashi station using exit 6 s it has access to an elevator and connected to the covered mall. The hotel appears to be recently built (we stayed July 2024). It’s very clean and very new feeling. The staff is polite and pleasant as typical for Japanese. They let us hold luggage there after check out for a few hours. The bidet toilet has auto open/close and flush in addition to the typical spray and odor elimination fan. This location also has gender segregated public onsen on the roof which we really enjoyed as it was our first Japanese onsen experience. From the onsen there’s a nice view of the city includes the back side of the large Donkihote arch. We did not purchase breakfast for our stay. Instead we used the 7-11 just one small block away.

Really great - onsen was super

Great location, middle of shopping street Sky spa is a plus after a long day of walking

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this hotel. It’s close to Namba station, so if you catch the Namba express train from the airport it’s a short walk up the street to the hotel. The hotel is situated on a wide boulevard with many high end shops. Our room on the 12 floor had a view over the city and it was spacious with a separate shower. Breakfast was okay, coffee machine worked well. Bain Marie food only tepid so cold food was a better option for us. After a long day of walking around Osaka it was great to sit back and watch Netflix.
