Hotel Nikko Osaka

We’ll definitely return to Hotel Nikko Osaka if we’re ever back here in Osaka. Service is impeccable, and the hotel sits right in the middle of the shopping strip in Shinsaibashi.

The staff offered an upgrade to the “L Floor”, one of the better rooms in this hotel, after they discovered the Internet in the first room we checked in wasn’t working. Sweet. Here are some things we love about Hotel Nikko:

• Right in the middle of the shopping strip, and sits above the Shinsaibashi station. Our elevator heads straight down to the subway.
• Nikko Hotels Group is part of JAL, so excellent service is a given.
• Friendly staff, and they always try their best to assist us. Even if they don’t speak English much, I got what I needed.
• Jawdropping views from the room.
• Salvatore Ferragamo toiletries.
• Colour-coded toothbrushes.
• Toto toilet (warmed seats, bidet for my vajeene and booty shower with variable pressure)
• Free cable internet

Starving and cranky

After our shower, we headed to one of the late night ramen restaurants in the laneways at the recommendation of the concierge.
