Bottom Line

Located above Shin-Osaka station, remm Shin Osaka is a mid-range business hotel with 296 guest rooms, the vast majority of which are Singles. This hotel will appeal to those who appreciate a masculine, ultra-modern aesthetic, but the low-lit interiors are dark and can feel gloomy. The compact guest rooms are equipped with flat-screen TVs, electric kettles, and mini-fridges, and while many have city views, others only have windows in their tiny bathrooms. While the hotel has next to no extra features, there is a drink vending machine, laundry service, and photocopying, and a Japanese restaurant is located just next door. Travelers looking for larger rooms could consider Daiwa Roynet Hotel Osaka Kitahama, which has similar rates.

Oyster Hotel Review

Remm Shin Osaka

Scene

Modern hotel with a futuristic look and dark interiors

Accessed via an elevator, remm Shin Osaka's reception area is located on the 12th floor of a sprawling shopping complex. Interiors are stark and futuristic, but can feel austere, with dark, dimly lit corridors. In contrast, the reception area is completely decked out in silver (apart from its white floors), with silver walls and ceilings and a silver reception counter. Tucked into an alcove is a bright-red corner sofa with matching red cushions and crimson-colored lamps providing dim lighting. The hotel caters to business travelers, and a vast majority of its tiny guest rooms are designed for single occupancy.

Rooms

Modern but dark and compact guest rooms, some with city views

The vast majority of guest rooms here are designed for single occupancy only, with 40 Single Rooms available, each measuring 155 square feet (47 square meters). Guest rooms advertised as Semi Doubles are only slightly larger. With 51 inch-wide beds, they're a tight squeeze for most couples. Slate-gray floors and walls and leather chairs give a certain streamlined, masculine look, but unfortunately they can also make the rooms feel overly dark and even gloomy. Some rooms offer wide rectangular windows with scenic views of the city skyline, yet in others, windows are located in the bathrooms, with scant light reaching the bedroom thanks to panes of glass separating the two spaces. Furniture is kept to a minimum and consists only of small tables on wheels, and high-backed chairs with massage functions. In-room amenities include mini-fridges, electric kettles, mineral water, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. There are also other handy extras like air purifiers, pajamas, slippers, and safes. Tiny but modern bathrooms are fitted with walk-in showers with rainfall showerheads, vessel sinks, and electronic toilets. Free toiletries and hairdryers are provided.
