I am not a big fan of the W Hotel brand. It is extremely generic, kinda tacky, and undoubtedly a brand for the well off twenty something set. Any place that has a DJ in their lobby / "living room" is not for me. Staying in the W Osaka City Japan is the same as staying in the W Montreal Canada and /or the W South Beach Florida. And so on. However, having checked in and out of the horrible Nikko Osaka Hotel my wife and I were very thankful to have found a room at the W Osaka. First of all the hotel is super friendly, modern, and extremely clean. The front desk staff speaks English, French, Chinese, Korean and Japanese. Very welcoming! The room we booked is a large corner room with views South and West. The windows are floor to ceiling. The bed sleeps more than two. LOL! There is a large bathtub, separate shower, a WC with an extremely smart Toto toilet, tons of amenities, and a well lit mirror above the sink so my wife and I can actually see ourselves as we respectfully shave or comb our hair or put on one's make up. There are a bunch of restaurants in the hotel serving food not just from Japan, which is very welcoming to the travel weary tourist looking for their home version of comfort food. The only drawback for me - besides the trans / house music in the "living room", is the bathrobe. It is very Playboyesque. Black, seemingly velveteen, with a big W logo emblazoned on its front pocket.
