It seems like people always have a desire to climb to high places
When we travel, we often find ourselves habitually seeking out the highest rooftop lounges in the city we visit, immersing ourselves in the magnificent views.
Imagine if that spectacular observation deck were right in your own hotel room.
Let me share a review of the Centara Grand Hotel Osaka, which can fulfill that desire for you.
Centara Grand Hotel Osaka Location
The hotel is conveniently situated just below Nankai Namba Station.
One of its advantages is that you can quickly check-in without the hassle of dragging your luggage through long distances after arriving at Kansai Airport and reaching Nankai Namba Station.
Moreover, the hotel’s location offers tremendous perks, as you can freely explore the Namba Parks Mall and Namba City Mall right in front of the hotel, enjoying countless dining options and shopping booths as if they were in your own neighborhood.
Additionally, a 10-minute walk across the street and you’ll find yourself at the Kuromon Market and the mecca of anime enthusiasts, Den-Den Town.

Centara Grand Hotel Twin Room Condition
I booked a Deluxe Twin Room, and true to the reputation of the Centara Group Hotels, it didn’t disappoint!
While it’s classified as a 4-star hotel, what stood out the most compared to other Japanese hotels is the spaciousness of the room.
I particularly loved the Nespresso capsule coffee machine!
Thanks to it, I never ran out of coffee (they provided 4 capsules a day).
The TV was a smart TV mounted on the wall, which kept my kid entertained with endless Netflix cartoons.
But undoubtedly, the best feature of the Centara Grand Hotel is the high-floor view.
How can windows be so flawlessly clear and provide such a breathtaking panoramic view of Osaka’s skyline?
I lost track of time while sipping my morning tea and soaking in the view. Truly, just this view alone makes the price of the accommodation worth it.
Centara Grand Hotel Breakfast Condition
I had breakfast on the same floor as the check-in counter, on the 2nd floor, in the restaurant.
While the slightly higher price range may be a downside, the breakfast menu was certainly fitting for a 4-star hotel.
The decorative elements with a distinctive Thai touch, such as the sculptural centerpiece, and Tuk Tuk tricycle reaffirmed its Thai hotel identity.
The pastry and dessert selection surely stood out compared to other hotels, offering a superior lineup. The Thai-style dish SOMTAM were a delightful surprise, and the Japanese side dishes were abundant
This hotel is recommended for those seeking a modern hotel with excellent views at a mid-range price, close to Osaka Namba Station and adjacent to shopping malls. Wishing you a happy and fulfilling trip to Osaka!
