Hotel the Lutheran

location! it is a short few mins walk from subway tanimachi-4 chome exit 3 (if i rmbr correctly, right in front of 7-11 : as shown in my attached image).. i dont know why google kept leading us to exit 2 which requires us to cross the road while exit 3 is at the same side and js a straight walk to the hotel. very conveniently located, walking distance (also short few minutes) on the other side to osaka castle.. coin laundry available. front counter service is friendly and helpful! keep it up!

seating in lobby area is inadequately furnished... only 2 chairs for guests to seat. would be better if there's more seating incase needs to wait for bigger group of friends/families to gather there before going out.

The rooms were very nice, the bed was comfy and the bathroom was nice too. The location is great! Close to the subway and a few minutes walk to Osaka Castle. However I cannot say enough good things about the staff at Hotel the Lutheran. My sister and I stayed for five nights but on our second night we suffered a terrible tragedy: my pregnant sister lost her baby. The staff called an ambulance for us and afterward they helped in anyway they could; made phone calls to funeral homes and helped guide us through the process of cremation. They also called us a taxi anytime we needed it. I wish I could say that I enjoyed my stay but despite going through the toughest days of our lives, the staff made it that much easier for us. And we are forever thankful for them ❤️

Everything about this hotel exceeds my expectation! The room is spacious, which is not that common in Japan, and of course it is equipped with all the facilities you need. The breakfast is great, there are a variety of bread, salads, juices and local Japanese dishes and disserts. All the staff are nice, I felt very welcome. Last but not least, you may think the location is not very central, but it is actually walkable to Osaka Castle, and the metro station is just around the corner. I can't believe I was able to stay here with very affordable price during peak Momiji season in the middle of a long-weekend holiday.

I cannot think of any.

The room is clean, and staffs are friendly. Nice location. We booked a double room for four nights, the daily cleaning service is very good. The bed and pillow are wonderful. And we have a big table in the room. The bathroom is also very good, we liked the bathroom system. But the tub is a little bit small for people who is over 170cm I think. Breakfast is delicious. The nearest railway station has stairs (exit 1B) and elevator (exit 1A). It is really helpful because we have two big cases. Every staffs were nice and helped us a lot. And the most important is that the price was very reasonable. We will want to stay here again next time we come to Osaka.

😃😃😃It's a wonderful hotel！The best I've ever seen in OSAKA. One of the biggest advantages is that the room is so big, bigger than the hotel in YOKONHAMA. Everything in the room is so convenient and comfortable. Stuffs there are also really friendly and kind. The other biggest advantage is its location. The hotel is close to two convenience stores and one subway station 谷町四丁目，I really love staying there and wish to visit again in the future😊😊😊👍Also friendly to foreigners！Go！！

Nothing, so good！

1) Location - very good subway connection & close to castle; 2) Room - as requested, thanks for the quiet room & soft pillow; 3) Breakfast - one of the best in my whole trips around the world this year. I really loved the Japanese food options! 4) Price - excellent quality for this price! PD: If you are with suitcase and using subway, please ask for exit with elevator (e.g. exit 11). If not suitcase, exit 1B (e.g. 7eleven) is the closest one to the hotel :)

As a retired senior citizen, convenience and comfort are top priorities when travelling. It was amazing to be located so close to Osaka Castle and be able to take casual strolls and spend the mornings under all the cherry blossom trees. The subway station was an even shorter distance away, but if you'd prefer a more relaxed and slower-paced day away from downtown, there are quite a number of good restaurants and convenience stores all within a block's vicinity. The Lutheran was also probably the cleanest and most quiet hotel we've stayed in. Rooms were larger than what you'd expect in Japan, and there was never a crowd in the restaurant or lobby. Breakfast was also very satisfying. And to give an idea of what service (and Japanese culture in general) was like, the front desk made an ever so insignificant error in computing tax charges when we checked in, something we never would have noticed or given much attention to. Upon checking out, we were surprised by their profuse apologies (we weren't even aware of the mistake) and immediate rectification of the amount. Such a good impression to leave with.

Really comfortable bed and pillows. Very clean and properly maintained. The property is half a block from the subway and a couple blocks from the osaka castle. There's also plenty of restaurant options to choose from. We didn't get the breakfast at the hotel, but it looked very good. Shower was amazing. Staff was really helpful and the hotel had some nice extras like an atm to exchange currency.

The room could be a bit larger. This is probably nitpicking as it felt larger than your average hotel room in Japan. Also, we could use extra pillows and lining.

Nice staff and friendly athmosphere. Calm, clean, perfect for what we were looking for. Located close to Osaka castle and convenient to reach from Osaka station / Umeda. We enjoyed it!

140-cm bed next to a wall is not really comfortable for two persons, but we knew (or expected) this already when we booked (it was alright overall). We considered using the laundry service, but it was very overpriced, so we used one of the very convenient laundry shops in the area (about a 20 minute walk).

We came as a family of 8. Our rooms were clean and well-kept. Super convenient location as the hotel is just a 1-minute walk away from the nearest public transport (Tanimachiyonchome Station, which has Chuo Line and Tanimachi Line). Multiple restaurants, and convenience stores nearby (all within a 2-3 mins walk). Osaka Castle was nearby as well (10-15 mins walk). The staff was polite, friendly, and helpful. The breakfast selection (although it was the same selection for 3 mornings) was pretty good. Might get boring if you are staying longer.

However, the rooms felt stuffy. It was a tad squeezy as we had 2 big luggage with us in each room. Our room was equipped with one queen size bed so it was squeezy for 2 people. We also felt that the bed could be cleaned better.
