This hotel was definitely my favorite of the entire trip and honestly, it completely lived up to the price. We stayed in a King Studio and everything was amazing from start to finish. The hotel was by far the most modern one we stayed at during our trip to Japan. The cleanliness was impeccable, the bedding was perfect, and both the bathroom and shower were excellent. I also really appreciated how spacious everything felt. We had large checked luggage with us, and it was so convenient to finally have enough space to fully open our suitcases comfortably. Complimentary bottles of water were provided, which was another nice touch. There is also a dedicated laundry area in the hotel, which was incredibly useful during our stay. The staff were incredibly attentive and always helpful, which made the experience even better. Honestly, I wish we could have stayed longer. If I had to mention one small downside, it would maybe be the distance from the metro, but even then, it was still completely reasonable and never really bothered us. Overall, an amazing experience that I would absolutely recommend.

We had the pleasure of staying at Zentis for one night and are so glad we chose it for our one day in Osaka. We got there early in the morning and they held our luggage for us till check in at 3pm. Once we arrived back, they had already delivered our stuff to the room. The bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious and modern (Corner Studio King). In the evening, we went for a drink at the bar and the vibe was relaxed and sophisticated. The cocktails were delicious and our bartender was friendly and very helpful. For breakfast, they offer complimentary buffet with the option to purchase from a select menu. We just ate from the buffet which included steamed veggies, pastries, fruit, cereal, & yogurt. Overall, we loved our stay, particularly for the calm and quiet nature of the hotel. It was the best sleep I’ve had since arriving in Japan over one week ago. Highly recommend staying here! We will definitely be back!

Unsuitable if travelling with family or friends. Bathroom has a clear window preventing privacy while inside, food is expensive/not complementary, and front desk was difficult to communicate with during my stay. However, room service was very fast and efficient.

The rooms are very new and are impressively spacious by Japanese standards, with clear attention paid to design - everything has a premium feel throughout... with the exception of the air purifier/humidifier - it seemed more like a cheap aroma diffuser, and a proper Sharp or Panasonic unit would have been better. Otherwise, the room was excellent in every respect, with good soundproofing, effective air conditioning, strong shower pressure, and fast, reliable Wi-Fi. There's also an Apple TV which makes watching stuff like YouTube convenient. The complimentary perfume (male, female or unisex) selection in the common room was a nice touch, as was the Nespresso coffee. The location is also convenient, with around a 15-minute walk to Umeda or Yodoyabashi for trains. The latter has easy access to the Keihan line to Kyoto, which is significantly faster and more straightforward than travelling via Shin-Osaka. It's a very quiet area - so if you're looking to be right in the centre of the action, I'd recommend staying around Nanba. The hotel is located in Kitashinchi, which has a lot of good restaurants. Try the ramen and late night sandwich places nearby! They can also help with luggage forwarding, should you need it. Overall the hotel offered good value, especially because I got my 3rd night free with a promotion.

Hotel Zentis Osaka — a heartfelt, almost Zen-like recommendation I arrived at Hotel Zentis Osaka on a warm afternoon in early August. Inside, the place feels as if it were imported straight from Scandinavia: pale woods, clean lines, and soft, natural tones. In the lobby, the staff helped me find an excellent sushi restaurant just ten minutes away – an impeccable recommendation. But it’s the bar team that truly forms the heart of the Zentis – led by two remarkable professionals, Nori (ノリ) and Yūri (ユウリ). Upon my first visit around 5 p.m., they created a cocktail perfectly tailored to my taste, and each evening thereafter greeted me with the same sense of attentiveness, refined warmth, lively humor, and a genuine feeling of friendship. Every night, Nori and Yūri asked about my day’s adventures; together we talked about life in Europe and Japan, about work, aesthetics, and the quiet art of perfecting a drink. This bar – and the people behind it – are not just a recommendation, but an experience that captures the true spirit of Osaka. After a day in the blazing inferno of Yumeshima – the site of Expo 2025 – I had never slept more soundly than back at the Zentis, whether in Osaka or Kyoto. No wonder I found myself returning a week later. As you can tell, I truly love this hotel.
