Villa Fontaine Grand Osaka Umeda

We've stayed here twice now, and both times we've had a great experience. The hotel is located about a 15-minute train ride from the Dotonbori district—which we actually consider a positive. That said, Umeda offers plenty to do on its own, and you can enjoy many of the same experiences you'd find in Dotonbori, but with fewer crowds. My wife loves the hotel’s spa, which is included with the room—a major bonus. The breakfasts are also very good, though they cater primarily to an Asian palate, so travelers expecting pancakes, bagels, or bacon may be disappointed. There’s excellent shopping, easy access to a major train station nearby, and plenty of great restaurants in the area. When we return to Osaka, we’ll definitely be staying at Villa Fontaine again.

Great location, a short walk from the station. Room was not massive but certainly not cramped for a couple. We enjoyed our stay. We even got our washing done! Good value for money.

Great Japanese breakfast buffet. Nice onsen with heated stone therapy and cold room with no extra charge. Umeda station within a couple of blocks. Mall with shopping and many food choices right next door. Very quiet room. Luggage storage and laundry facilities. Beds are on firmer side.

We had an amazing experience at this hotel in Osaka! From the moment we walked in, everything smelled fresh and clean, and the space felt warm and welcoming. The entire hotel was spotless — you can tell they take pride in maintaining a high standard of cleanliness and comfort. One of the highlights of our stay was the spa. It was absolutely fantastic — relaxing, well-designed, and the perfect way to unwind after a long day of sightseeing. We felt completely refreshed each time we used it. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our visit. They were always smiling, respectful, and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. We also really enjoyed the breakfast. There was a nice variety of both Japanese and Western options, everything was fresh and tasty, and the dining area was clean and inviting. Overall, it was a peaceful, comfortable stay that made our time in Osaka even better. We would 100% stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city!

Location and service of the hotel is really good for anyone who likes to have an awesome time partying, eating and relaxing after lots of exploring.
