remm Shin-Osaka

Hotel Description

I’ll be honest – when I first walked into remm Shin-Osaka, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star business hotel. But you know what? This place actually gets it right in ways that matter, especially if you’re dealing with early morning shinkansen departures or late arrivals into Shin-Osaka Station.

The location is the real winner here. I mean, you’re literally a two-minute walk from the station – and I’m talking about the kind of walk where you’re not dragging your luggage up endless stairs or through confusing underground passages. The hotel sits right there on Miyahara street, so when you stumble out with your bags at 6 AM to catch the bullet train to Tokyo, you’ll actually appreciate how stupidly convenient it is. The lobby has this clean, minimalist vibe that feels distinctly Japanese without trying too hard – lots of natural wood and those perfectly placed accent lights that somehow make even fluorescent lighting look warm. Check-in was smooth, though the staff’s English is pretty basic (not a complaint, just something to know).

The rooms are compact but thoughtfully designed, which is exactly what you want in Osaka. I stayed on the 8th floor and honestly, the bed was more comfortable than I expected – none of that rock-hard mattress situation you sometimes get in business hotels. The bathroom is tiny but functional, with one of those high-tech toilets that’ll either delight or confuse you depending on your relationship with Japanese technology. What I really appreciated were the little touches: USB ports right by the bed, a decent desk if you need to work, and blackout curtains that actually work (crucial if you’re jet-lagged). The air conditioning is quiet too, which matters more than you’d think when you’re trying to sleep off a 14-hour flight.

Here’s the thing about the neighborhood – it’s not flashy, but it works. You’ve got convenience stores right outside, a few decent restaurants within walking distance, and it’s genuinely quiet at night despite being so close to the station. The morning rush can get a bit hectic around 7-8 AM with all the commuters, but that energy is kind of fun to watch if you’re sipping coffee in the lobby. The hotel’s restaurant serves a solid Japanese breakfast – nothing fancy, but the rice, miso soup, and grilled fish hit the spot before a long travel day. Parking is available if you’re renting a car, though honestly, you won’t need one from this location.

Look, remm Shin-Osaka isn’t going to blow you away with luxury, but it nails the fundamentals at a fair price point. That 8.2 rating makes sense – it’s the kind of place that does exactly what it promises without any unpleasant surprises. If you need to be near Shin-Osaka Station and want something clean, comfortable, and reliable, this is your spot. Just don’t expect a concierge who speaks perfect English or a rooftop bar with city views.

Reviews

• Peter from New Zealand – 18 June 2025 (9/10)

  Location was great.
  
  What could be improved: A bit pricy.

• Zhirong from Singapore – 18 June 2025 (8/10)

  Great location, right next to the Shinkansen entrance. Nearby there is also a great station cafe. Check-in and check-out was easy and smooth. Room is small but comfortable for 1 person. Bed and pillow are very comfortable! Great view of Shin Osaka area.
  
  What could be improved: Shin Osaka is not a great location to explore the city necessarily, we used it as a transition point for just 1 night before heading to Kyoto via Shinkansen

• Imran from Singapore – 7 June 2025 (8/10)

  Everything was good as it was directly above Shin-Osaka railway station. Shops and eateries were aplenty. Will definitely come back again to this hotel.

• Naveen from India – 23 May 2025 (9/10)

  Location
  
  What could be improved: Small rooms

• Ralph from Australia – 18 May 2025 (7/10)

  Very convenient for one night, arriving by Shinkansen and leaving the next day by Haruka for the airport since it is literally right on top of Shin Osaka Station. Also close to the host of dining and shopping options in the station. We arrived well before check-in, and there was no problem holding our luggage until the room was available. Great view from the room and probably the most comfortable bed we've had in 3 weeks.
  
  What could be improved: The room was very, very small and quite poorly designed. No space to open our bags without having to step over them.

• Kei from Singapore – 16 May 2025 (9/10)

  1. Location
  2. Although the room is small but it is very well equipped.
  
  What could be improved: Room is already so small and there is a big massage chair in there. There is no place to sit except the bed.

• Sandra from Australia – 12 May 2025 (8/10)

  The location
  
  What could be improved: Nothing it was all great

• Tanyawat from Thailand – 11 May 2025 (9/10)

  Perfectly located right at the station, very convenient.

• Ngan from Hong Kong – 1 May 2025 (9/10)

  excellent location just outside the north exit of shinkansen station exit and the staff are very courteous and friendly. I also took the advantage of the massage chair having walked a lot during the time at Expo which really helped! The bed is also very bed not too soft nor hard and they gave me 4 pillows as requested for one extra only
  
  What could be improved: The only down side as a female traveller is the small area in the bathroom for personal amenities and that can be a little tricky to get at times

• Amanda from United States – 30 April 2025 (9/10)

  Located right in the Shin-Osaka Station- you'll have no trouble getting around. Great view of the city, modern, clean.
  
  What could be improved: Occasionally we'd notice a faint odor/sink sewer smell in the bathroom. Nothing major. Would rebook again.
