Hotel Vischio Osaka by Granvia

There is a shopping mall in front of the hotel. Good restaurant and a coffee shop within the hotel.

Rooms could be better. The rooms are very basic nothing fancy about it. And there was a spider on the wall of the room.

The location near Osaka Station and the mall.

Small rooms. Beds not very comfortable.

Very convenient location. Clean and tidy.

All the front staff are young and probably part-timers, as such there are things they just don't know or rather, haven't been trained in. Upon check-in I was asked to provide a residency card for copying (non-resident foreigners are required to show a passport). A residency card by it's very function shows that the holder has an address in Japan and therefore it is not required under Japanese law to provide any form of identification. Staff need to be trained in this as the residency card contains a lot of personal information that I wouldn't want a hotel keeping for 3 years. We stayed in the middle of the hot humid rainy season, the duvets were thick Winter types. Although the was air-conditioning it was difficult to sleep.
