LIBER HOTEL OSAKA

LIBER HOTEL OSAKA

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is simply amazing! The hotel is right across the street from the subway station which is super convenient as the subway goes to Kinsicho station where you can connect to the Osaka Loop line. The hotel’s breakfast buffet is awesome, even with ice cream! The staff are extremely helpful and can give you advice on anywhere you want to go. As an added bonus, there’s a Japan Post drop-off box across the street! Universal Studios Japan is one subway station away. There’s a 7-11 and a Lawson a minute away, too! If you’re looking for a hotel that’s noisy, this is not the place. But, if you want super convenient and quiet with ever you need close by, you won’t find a better hotel."

"Beautiful hotel with an excellent location to shopping,dining and transportation. Has a 7-11 on the premises which was very convenient. Had connecting room which was great. Rooms were very small but made good use of what space was there. Onsen was really nice. Only negative for me was the price to use the pool. Also for the price charged was limited to one hour( they charged by the hour) you could not go in a second early. Over all…pleased with our stay."
