Hotel Hokke Club Osaka

Across Japan the Hotel Hokke Club chain of business hotels offers consistently good service, with clean, efficiently run facilities and very reasonable room rates. Hotel Hokke Club Osaka is no exception to this rule. Though situated in a rather seedy part of Umeda’s entertainment area, the hotel itself has top notch amenities including a large public bath on the top floor from which you can enjoy city views as you bathe. The hotel is also convenient for local transportation, and there are many restaurants, shops, and bars in the immediate vicinity.

Guest Rooms

In this hotel the Single Rooms and Twin Rooms have double beds, and the Deluxe Twin Rooms and Triple Rooms have semi-double sized beds. All beds are fitted with the world famous Simmonds brand of bedding and luxuriously soft down duvets.

There are also Japanese style rooms with tatami matting on the floors and futon mattresses and these can take up to 3 people. All rooms are fully air conditioned and supplied with free Wi-Fi and LAN internet connections, a telephone, a refrigerator, an LCD TV with free satellite channels plus some pay per view channels, an electric kettle, a tea making set, and night wear. Bathrooms come with a bathtub and shower, a hairdryer and a complete set of complimentary toiletries. Because this is a business hotel, guest rooms are all brightly lit, so that you can continue to work or read in your room without straining your eyes.
