Hotels near osaka station

Upon returning from Okinawa, we once again stayed at Sutetsu Fresa Inn Osaka Namba. We were allowed to store our luggage there. If we visit Osaka again, we will always stay at this hotel because the staff are friendly and the location is very strategic. Transportation access is easy, and it's close to Dotonbori. There are many shopping centers and dining options nearby.

This was my first trip to Japan, just my son and me. Japan was an unfamiliar place for me, and I was a bit scared because it was my first time selecting a destination and planning everything, and while I know some Chinese characters, I don't speak Japanese. However, after arriving, the process of taking the Rapi:t train and finding the Hiyori Hotel from Namba Station went more smoothly than I expected. While it might be normal for others, accomplishing each step felt quite amazing to me, haha. Plus, as soon as we arrived, a kind Korean student employee at the front desk greeted us, and unfamiliar Japan quickly began to feel familiar. My mood was at its peak! But then, I suddenly started to develop a fever. My body was getting weaker, but my son was completely focused on finding character figures rather than his mom's well-being... 😂 Still, I understood, as the main purpose of this trip was for my son, who had been singing about wanting to buy figures in Japan, haha. After finishing our shopping and returning to the hotel around 7 PM, my fever had already exceeded 100.4°F (38°C). I immediately asked the Korean employee at the front desk for help, and they promptly found a nearby hospital that could treat foreigners. It was less than a 10-minute walk from the hotel, so even I, who am terrible with directions, could easily find it. The hospital had nurses who spoke foreign languages, and since I can speak Chinese, I was able to communicate directly, receive a diagnosis, examination, and medication prescription, and returned to the hotel a little after 9 PM. While I was at the hospital, the Korean employee took care of my son, who was waiting at the hotel. They gave him snacks, and it seems my son spent his time making takoyaki in the lounge and catching Pokémon. 🥹 Getting suddenly sick in an unfamiliar country was truly overwhelming, but thanks to the help of the staff, I was able to receive treatment safely. I am grateful to the Korean employee who greeted us brightly and kindly assisted us from the day we arrived until the day we left, and also to the other staff members. Thanks to them, despite the unexpected incident, my first trip to Japan with my son ended with good memories. Thank you very much! 🙏

Thank you again for your hospitality during the live event. The croissants for breakfast were also very delicious. A 7-Eleven opened nearby, which was convenient when I was too tired to eat out after the live performance.

When I stayed for the Intex event, the lobby was already playing the event's theme song, which set a great mood. The staff were very friendly and polite. The room was clean, spacious, and well-equipped, with skincare products, a foot massager, and a freezer compartment in the fridge for ice cream. The TV was a smart TV, so I could watch YouTube and Netflix. The restaurant offered complimentary Ochazuke for guests, which was delicious. The hotel is directly connected to the station, and there's a Daiso, supermarket, and Don Quijote downstairs. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Osaka.
