Detailed review & photos “Hotel Royal Classic Osaka “

The hotel is located very close to Namba Subway Station, in a lively location along Midosuji. It’s a former site of the former Kabukiza Theater, and its exterior is a characteristic building that inherits its traditional design.

With 19 floors above ground, the high-rise building is impressive with a delicate and dynamic design with multiple aluminum fins.

The drive-in is at the main entrance.

Marui was built opposite and the view was not good, but if the room opened with a bigger window, it might be a good view of the cityscape.

Looking down, Midosuji was lit up with the seasonal pattern or along Midosuji, and the illuminations were beautiful at night.
