Unique Onsen in the Central Osaka
Super Hotel City Osaka Natural Hot Spring
Super Hotel City Osaka & Mr. Ryosuke Yamamoto, CEO
Every thing is quite unique in the Onsen hotel in Osaka, named the Super Hotel City Osaka. It is under one of the big hotel chains named “Super Hotel” in Japan. The chain has 95 business hotels as of April 1, 2010. Mr. Ryosuke Yamamoto, CEO, has put special concern on his hotel rooms providing comfortable conditions for good sleep. For example, all rooms are soundproofed form street noise. There are several kinds of pillows so that you can choose most suitable type among them. The next morning after good sleep, you can enjoy buffet style breakfast in the restaurant with reasonable prices, 730 yen for adult, and 480 yen for child.
Amenities for ladies and various types of pillows.
At the same time, he has tried avoiding other unnecessary functions in hotels under his chain. The hotel has public phone booths at the lobby floor, but no room phones. Excluding at Super Hotel City Osaka, in the most hotels under the chain, vending machines for drinks are equipped on every floor, but no refrigerator in the guest rooms.
Breakfast Buffet & Japanese Dinner at reasonable prices.
Prices for drinks in the vending machine are usually cheaper than those in vending machines in town. Once, their garbage boxes in their rooms were filled with empty cans that their guests purchased them in town. Learned from this bad experience, they promptly changed their prices lower than those of in town.
All lights are turned off after the check out time of 10 a.m. even though some guests complain about this strict house rule, but he never tried changing the rule. The hotels can save money for energy and therefore they help reducing carbon dioxide emission in our planet. Thanks to the saved cost, the chain can keep providing good conditioned hotel rooms at reasonable rate.
Single & twin room of the hotel.
There are always a few guests who complain on this house rule, but most guests support it. Because, all staff working under the chain hotel is always trying to hear real vice from majority of guests. The fact shows that over 70% of their guests are repeaters and average room occupancy rate has kept over 88%. We can realize that hotel reputation has been good enough even under the rather strict house rule. Actually, the chain honored with the first place in Japanese Customer Satisfaction Index in the Hotel Industry sponsored by the Committee of Service Productivity & Innovation for Growth under the Japan Productivity Center this year. Surprisingly, many famous names in the industry, such as Imperial Hotel, Starwood Hotel, and Hotel Okura, could not overcome this economy class hotel chain. The chain also honored with the one of the two organizations for Japan Quality Award in 2010.
