Another completely perfect stay
Pros:

What a great hotel, the location was perfectly convenient both for business and leisure. Guests have direct access from the 1st floor to the shopping district and office buildings and we can walk all the way to Osaka Station.

It has a modern ambience, the check-in counters were spacious and the staff super-helpful. We would like to especially mention Bakhrom at Reception. His attitude was incredibly professional and he assisted us in early check-in issues and finding rooms that were available. From check-in to check-out, all three of us had him to thank.

Breakfast was wonderful. The buffet has lots of hot and cold choices and we noticed they make changes to the choices every day. Wonderful.

Our rooms were spacious and comfortable. The bathtub is worth mentioning as it was very large and the shower space ample.

Yes, it is expensive to stay here but worth it, value for money guaranteed.

The rooms and especially the bathrooms were clean and bright with excellent views.

Noise level? What noise?

We shall most certainly stay again whenever we travel to Osaka again.

Amazing Stay
Pros:

Staff absolutely wonderful. Every member of staff we came into contact with was polite, friendly and eager to assist us. The chief staff member we came into contact with was Bakhrom, who was helpful from our initial phone call to him (to arrange for early check-ins and room upgrades) to the time we checked out.

Breakfast buffet very good, lots of choices, different items from day to day.

The location is amazing. We have direct access to shops and restaurants - all the way from the hotel to Osaka Station.

We would love to return.

Cons:

The hotel room was awful for the price. The breakfast was some of the worst 5 star hotel breakfasts I have had. The air in the rooms was bad.

100% Recommend
Pros:

I had an excellent stay at this hotel and would not hesitate to recommend it.

The hotel is in a convenient location, with excellent access to the train station. I used the station to travel to Kyoto, Universal Studios Japan, and various areas around Osaka on different days, making it an ideal base for exploring the region.

My room was fantastic, and I was fortunate to be in a suite. From check-in to check-out, the staff were attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. Prior to my arrival, I had forwarded my luggage from Tokyo, and I was delighted to find my bags already waiting for me in the dressing room when I entered the suite.

The attention to detail from the housekeeping team was particularly impressive. I had been using my own soap due to having sensitive skin, and housekeeping clearly noticed this. To my surprise, they thoughtfully left me a sensitive-skin L'Occitane soap bar in the room. It was a small gesture, but one that demonstrated a remarkable level of care and attentiveness to their guests' needs.

One experience in particular stood out. I was leaving the hotel one morning and was clearly looking a little confused while trying to work out which exit to use to reach the train station. A member of staff approached me and asked where I was trying to get to. When I explained, she personally escorted me into the adjoining shopping centre and provided clear, easy-to-follow directions through the connected walkways. This was an absolute lifesaver and far easier than trying to navigate the streets. Unfortunately, I did not get her name, but she was working downstairs in the lower lobby area. I would love for her kindness and professionalism to be recognised, as she went above and beyond to help me.

I also ate at the hotel every day, alternating between room service and dining in the restaurant. One evening, while dining alone, I was approached by Gerard, the Director of Food and Beverage. We struck up a conversation, and after noticing that I was travelling on my own, he very kindly gave me his business card and told me to get in touch if I encountered any problems or needed assistance during my stay in Osaka.As a young woman travelling alone in a foreign country, I found this gesture incredibly thoughtful and reassuring. My parents, who were understandably a little nervous about me travelling solo, were equally touched when I told them about it. Gerard deserves recognition for his kindness and for going well beyond what would normally be expected of him.

The hospitality I experienced throughout my stay was exceptional. Japan has some of the finest customer service I have encountered anywhere in the world, and this hotel embodied that perfectly. Thank you to the entire team for making my stay in Osaka such a memorable one.

Great experience with friendly staff. I want to a special shoutout to Hayato Yasuda, a waiter at the club lounge. Hayato gave phenomenal advice on places to visit and made our trip so much better, he is a real gem! All in all a great stay experience!

Nice hotel in Osaka
Pros:

Our room was lovely and the hotel staff were very friendly! We had breakfast at the buffet every morning and we're always greeted with a friendly smile.
The hotel is located very close to train transportation, which is also very convenient and has a nice bar and pastry shop.

Exceptional Service and a Wonderful Stay at InterContinental Osaka
Pros:

My wife and I had a wonderful three-night stay at InterContinental Osaka. The hotel’s location, facilities, and overall service were excellent, but what truly made our stay memorable was the outstanding hospitality of Assistant Guest Relations Manager, Mr. Bakhrom Kudratillaev.

Throughout our stay, he was consistently helpful, professional, and genuinely caring. He went above and beyond to assist us with various requests and also helped us enroll in the Ambassador program, ensuring that we could enjoy its benefits during future stays.

His attention to detail and sincere desire to make guests feel welcome left a lasting impression on us. We are very grateful for his kindness and support.

Thank you to Mr. Kudratillaev and the entire team at InterContinental Osaka for making our trip so enjoyable. We look forward to returning in the future.

Beautiful stay in Osaka, Japan
Pros:

Absolutely beautiful hotel from how it looks inside and outside amazing!!!
The room was beautifully presented and views was wonderful… I am amazed with the finishing of the interior and I have stayed in a few intercontinental hotels but this intercontinental in Osaka was exceptional and professionally maintained.
Staff from entrance to check-in and checkout was exceptional i.e. especially the lady that checked me out took the time to walk me to the lift and got the staff to get the right size taxi to fit my luggage… again only in Osaka did I get this attention.

Feels like home away from home.
Pros:

We have chosen Intercontinental Osaka because of its very convenient location in the heart of Osaka, but there are in hindsight so many more reasons to stay at this hotel. The experience of reservation, check-in and check-out is great, it is very seamless, quick and practical. All the staff in all functions were treating us with utmost respect, friendliness and professionalism, it feels like they all embrace the same values. The room was spacious and always very clean and ready upon our return from daily activities. Profound, professional, and unpretentious. We certainly will chose the Intercontinental Osaka again.

The best IC hotel that I have ever stayed
Pros:

Above all, the timely response from the front desk was excellent. They valued my Diamond Elite status and provided an appropriate upgrade. The condition of the room is excellent. It is very soundproofed and pleasant. The staff service is the best I have experienced at any InterContinental hotels so far. Everyone is friendly and professional. They anticipate guests' needs in advance. I can guarantee that the food in the Club lounge is the finest Japanese cuisine. I will definitely stay again next time. The location is the center of Osaka and connects to anywhere you want.
