JR West Group Via Inn Shin-Osaka

I didn't have high expectations due to the affordable price, but this hotel is worth staying at just for the breakfast. Although the selection of dishes is limited to Japanese cuisine, each dish is of high quality, with attention to detail even in the presentation, and the taste was exceptional. Many breakfast buffets tend to skimp on items like miso soup, but this hotel served piping hot miso soup with plenty of ingredients and a first-class flavor that made me want seconds. The freshly made rice balls prepared right in front of you were delicious, and the homemade pudding was outstanding as well. Without a doubt, I will stay here again for my next business trip to Osaka.

This was my second stay at this accommodation. It’s always popular, and reservations fill up quickly. The reason is the high-quality breakfast: traditional side dishes, hearty pork miso soup, freshly made rice balls upon order, smoothies, and pudding. No matter how many nights you stay, you’ll never get tired of it! Its popularity is well-deserved! One amenity I’d love to see added is bath salts. A smaller amount that matches the hotel’s bathtub would be even better. Please consider this suggestion. The meticulous cleaning down to removing weeds from the flower beds at the entrance was impressive, and the staff's hospitality with their greetings and smiles made for a very pleasant stay. I definitely want to stay here again—it’s highly recommended! Once your plans are set, book early—and don’t forget to include breakfast!
