Osaka Tokyu Rei Hotel

The complimentary water bottles were very helpful, especially during the hot summer. While I can read enough Japanese to understand the remote, the reference sheet in English was helpful. The light switch console was also easy to understand. The room was also nice and spacious by Japanese standards. It's also very close to the nightlife. I liked being able to stumble back to my hotel rather than trying to beat the last train.

The air conditioning didn't seem to do so well. As a comparison, my current room in Tokyo feels very comfortable (if not a little chilly) with the thermostat at 22c. At Tokyu REI Osaka, my room still felt warm with the thermostat at 20c. I suspect the reason why is because the vent was pointed towards the foot of the bed. If the head of the bed was next to the window, it probably would have felt better. It was still comfortable enough, but it could have been better.

Friendly staff, location, clean

Air-con was weak

Clean room good location not far from Osaka Station

The restaurant, it was great.

The smoking area in the lobby, it was not located in a good spot. It was located in front of the entrance door. When the door open it blew smoke into the lobby.
