LIBER HOTEL OSAKA

First: The staff is amazing. Even down to the currier service. They are very nice and helpful, not just at a Japanese standard. They tried very hard to speak English and was polite when it Japanese was not that good. Rooms: Good and bad. The showers were probably the best we have had in Japan in the last three years. The touch screen on the bed is something I didn't know I would enjoy so much. The state of the hotel is why it got a lower score, though. I have enclosed a picture that shows a service door we saw everyday walking to our room. The staining you see in the carpet in front of the door is the staining that would be visible all through the floor. We did see them carpet cleaning one day, so I believe the hotel has been used and abused. The walls are thin as well. We heard children playing many hours at night, along with jumping in the bed and hanging the wall. The grout around tiles in the shower and sink were yellow. Very yellow. I questioned the cleanliness of the hotel because of the yellow being so bad, but I saw how clean everything was from staff then realized it was like the carpet. Used and abused. Entrance to the hotel was clean and very appearance striking but the floors and rooms could use a revamp. Location: Ten minute walk from the city walk or four minute train. There is a 7/11 and Lawson five minutes from the hotel. The Lawsons located at the CityWalk were mad houses everything we tried to go there. The ones closest to the hotel was a nice reprieve from the craziness. The food options in the hotel were not our speed. It was either steak house or buffet. 6000 yen for a buffet breakfast and dinner is too much, so the closeness to the conveynies was great for at least breakfast. It does suck that tattoos are not accepted in the onsen. This is Japan though. Tattoos will be accepted in some onsens and not in others. Onsens didn't become gender seperate until the 90s. Some traditions are just stuck to. Knowing that the onsen is not tattoo friendly when booking is a choice. There is a Spaworld ten minute train ride away. For the price, would stay there again when visiting Universal.

The only USJ hotel with natural hot spring. The hot spring consist of indoor and outdoor. Definitely try the milk from the vending machine in the hot spring area. It’s soooo goood. Each of us had at least 2 bottles. And the breakfast buffet is of a variety of choices, with sashimi seafood rice, beef steak. It’s worth the price. You can also view USJ rides from your room. What’s more you can ask for ! Some tips: you can get a value deal booking from Rakuten. Last minute deal may up to 50% off. Recommend to stay at least 2 nights to have a full experience!
