This is a great place to stay in Osaka. The hotel is awesome. The rooms were comfortable but a tad bit small (compared to rooms I have been). The breakfast is very good, with a good mix of western and Japanese cuisines. We went with 2 kids and they really enjoyed their breakfast every day. Breakfast was served from 7 to 10, but the kitchen closes at 9:45am. We didn't have a single issue while we stayed there. Checkin is strictly at 3pm and checkout is 12pm.
The hotel provides Yamato service and it costed us approximately ¥2100 per cabin bag size suitcase. If you drop it off before 3pm, it will get dropped off by the next day.
There is a currency exchange machine by the check in counters. The currency exchange rate provided was not too bad $1:¥153 (at the machine) vs $1:163 (Google quote) on the day we used it.
The best thing is that if you go to the basement, you can directly enter Umeda station which is the primary way to get on to the osaka Subway line. But if you use the elevators to go to 2nd floor, you can walk to Osaka station, which allows you to use the JR lines. Very convenient.
Something else to note about this property, the hotel is on the 9th floor and goes up to 35th floor. The floors below is shopping (Daiso, Uniqlo, etc). There is a Yodabashi also in the complex. On the 8th floor they have a variety of dinning restaurants and tons more in the basement around the entry to the Umeda stn. We definitely recommend this location and will choose it on our next stay.

Hotel is directly above the huge Yodabashi Camera department store and food hall and across the street from Osaka Station making it extremely convenient to shop, hop on the JR and Metro to see other parts of the city, and find places to eat. We had a room with 4 beds which was very spacious. Breakfast buffet is fantastic with an extensive variety of both western and traditional Japanese options.

Arriving from Osaka airport, the limousine bus stops right in front of this hotel, huge bonus points for a family traveling with young kids and 6 luggages.

There is a 24 hour family mart (think 7/11) at the street level of the hotel, 2nd floor connects you to the train station, 8th floor is the “restaurant row” where there is a variety of local options for dining, and there is an adjoining mall that connects to the 8th floor. The mall has some 5/6 floors and provides endless shopping from toys to clothes to home goods, etc. Cannot express enough how convenient this whole hotel complex building is. Rooms are not big but sufficient with bathtub and standing shower room (standard for Japan). Would definitely stay again.

The only downside is that the rooms are a little small, so make sure you get a big room if you have a lot of luggage! 10/10 would recommend this hotel.

This hotel was conveniently located. It is connected to both the Osaka and Umeda stations, and is right beside a shopping mall, Uniqlo and Yodobashi Camera. We used their laundry facility which was very convenient. I wanted to give it a perfect score but when we checked in, there was a drop/stain on the toilet seat that they may have forgotten to wipe. We checked in late and we were so tired that we just decided to let it go and we don’t really like to complain too. Otherwise, great hotel and quick check in and out. Wonderful view, too! Saw the city and water views which were a plus. We would definitely stay here again.

The room was clean, but there wasn’t a lot of room to put our luggage. It was a bit difficult to find coming out of Umeda Station, but it was very convenient once we got our bearings. There are many dining and shopping options nearby. It was nice to have many laundry machines, and you didn’t need to put in soap. It took many hours to dry clothes in the washer dryer combo, but I tried a different machine the next morning, and I think the machine I was using was just not good.

It is extremely difficult to find hotel rooms in Japan near a main train station for our family of 4: 2 adults, 1 teen, and 1 child. The Hankyu Respire Osaka is a couple minutes away on foot to Osaka City Station. Hotel is very clean, free coffee in the lobby for hotel guests starting at 6am. There’s a bunch of free amenities in the lobby as well: toothbrushes, instant coffee, sugar, cream, tea, etc. if you want to make it in your room with the hot kettle and cups in your room. We booked a room with 4 beds, toilet is separate from the shower and sink area. My only peeve was that there is no main bathroom door once you come out of the shower, that area is completely open.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. Check in and check out was very efficient. The room and beds were very comfortable. The bathroom and other amenities were wonderful. When in the room, one needs to put a room key or card into a slot near the door to keep lights, outlets and power working.We recommend keeping a card in the slot at all times, especially if multiple people are staying in the room because if the card is removed by a guest to leave the room while other in-room guests are still sleeping, the power will cut off. When the card is reinserted, the lights default back to bright, which may awaken the in-room guests. Overall, a wonderful stay in an excellent location.

Difficult to get excited about this hotel with the self serve style including check in, check out, and refilling the room supplies for coffee, tea etc. didn’t really interact with any staff members
The hotel is clean and modern looking and was ideal for us. If you want no frills with easy access to the city then this will likely be good for you too.
Hotel is located in the north of the city and within 5-10mins walk has good dept stores and restaurants nearby as well as a major train station a few minutes away, so can also get around the city via trains and subway. If you are coming to Osaka for the first time, make sure this hotel is located near the sights you want to see as the city is massive and you may prefer elsewhere if you want to see more of the southern or central areas.

The location is convenient to shops, restaurants and subways. Lots to do and eat in the immediate location. The only thing I didn't like was the size of the room for 3 adults, with 3 beds. There was no room to put your things and with 3 suitcases, and backpacks it was pretty tight. Because of the size of the room, it was hard to relax and unwind in the room. It's nice we had access to a laundry room, but we had to wake up around 6:30am, get in line to use the machines. It took a while because people before us had to dry their clothes more than once depending on how much clothes they put in there. The more clothes, the longer it takes, sometimes 3-4 times to dry.

Very convenient central location, connected to Osaka-Umeda station, and an easy train ride from anywhere in Osaka. Great views from upper floors and very quiet. Rooms are tiny and a bit cramped, but have all the amenities you’d expect. Laundry is a pain if you need it as they provide just 8 machines for >500 guests leading to a lot of frustration and waiting. Also, the lobby can get quite crowded.

Fun notes: there is a mall in the building, including multiple sporting goods stores, multiple clothing stores, two food courts, four Starbucks locations, even a Burger King and a McDonalds—though the local food is much better. We also saw two idol groups doing meet and greets and performances on the second floor near the Umeda station, a boy-band one evening and a girl band another evening.

Fantastic hotel in the heart of Umeda — we loved it so much we stayed twice!
Hotel Hankyu RESPIRE OSAKA continues to impress us. The location is unbeatable, sitting right on top of the massive Yodabashi Camera complex, which combines a department store and mall with endless shopping and dining options. Having everything right downstairs made our stay incredibly convenient.

The JR Osaka Loop Line is next door, making it easy to get around the city. Nintendo Osaka and Umeda Sky Building are also just a short walk away. If you want to explore further, the metro gets you to Dotonbori in about 15 minutes.

Breakfast was excellent, especially the fresh and extensive salad bar along with plenty of other choices. The only thing we wished for was lounge access for drinks, but they do offer hot water and coffee in the lobby, which was still helpful.

Overall, this is an amazing hotel with great comfort, convenience, and location. We’d happily stay again.

The hotel is located next to the major stations and shopping district. Very good for going up to take a short rest or dropping off the shoppings before going out again. Hotel connections to the shopping district is great with B1F going to the train station directly and 1/F and 2F going to the shops directly.
It is big and could be very busy during the week day. We find the weekend less busy! Hotel room is very quiet despite the lobby could be like a commercial building lobby sometimes.

I liked the eco cleaning option because I normally don’t make a mess and I don’t need someone to make my bed. The eco cleaning option allows me to be undisturbed on days when I want to sleep in.

However, I want to note that the thermostat is located in the wrong area of the room. The thermostat should be located near the bed and not near the door to assure the temperature is correct and occupant is comfortable.

Pros: Good central location, loved the room.

Cons: laundry ruined our stay. There are 8 machines but a very large number of guests wishing to use the machines. Queued for 40 minutes to get to a machine. Machines badly maintained so what would have taken 2 hour wash and dry took 5 - the reason for the massive queues. Nowhere else we stayed in Japan was like this. Don’t stay here if you’re planning a laundry stop.

Room cleaning wasn’t up to scratch with basic items like cups not replaced. Coffee was clearly pre brewed and not barista style with a Nespresso machine like other (cheaper) hotels we have stayed in here.

Super easy to get lost and spent the first hour of our staying running around in Yobodashi Camera. This is partially our fault but don’t use google maps to try and find the hotel. Instead; follow the signs around the shopping complex.

Overall it didn’t feel like good value for money, compared to far cheaper hotels I’ve stayed in around the world. It takes 10 minutes to get out of the complex to find basics like food, coffee etc.
