Hotel Lantana Osaka

Even though the hotel is kid-friendly, the area, which isn't typically a family hotel zone, made me feel a bit suspicious and worried. However, the space was very large.

I recently visited the Osaka Kuchu Teien Observatory, and it was amazing. The 360-degree views from the 39th floor are stunning, especially on clear days when you can see all the way to Awaji Island. The unique design of the Umeda Sky Building, including the glass-enclosed escalator, makes the visit exciting. There are plenty of seating areas and cafes to relax and enjoy the view. The displays are informative and add to the experience. The admission fee is a bit high, and it can get crowded, so it’s best to go on weekdays or early in the morning. Overall, it’s a must-visit for incredible views of Osaka.

The hotel is centrally located in the Juso district, not too far from Juso Station. A great supermarket (Don Quijote) is situated very nearby. Juso also offers plenty of affordable, tasty, and less crowded options for food. Juso Station is primarily served by the Hankyu Railway and is therefore not on the JR Line. If you’re using a JR Pass and aiming to save costs, this may be a factor for consideration because we found we had to travel to the Osaka metro station to get to places. That being said, the cost of the hotel was reasonable, perhaps offsetting the additional travel expenses. Additionally, Juso is a nice area. We enjoyed interacting with the hotel staff, who were very friendly and always did their best to help us. Check-out was automated.

Very nice hotel. Friendly staff and good location. Juso is fun

Front desk staff is nice and helpful, thank you 🙂

Location is great. Close to restaurants, minimart, and public parking lot. Not far from the town. Staffs are helpful even it s required self service during off office hour.
