Hotel Osaka Live Artex (Osaka, Japan)

The bedrooms and living areas of Live Artex, whether western-style or Japanese, are all spacious and feature plenty of room to relax, host social gatherings, or generally store your luggage and other belongings without worrying about filling the room past its intended capacity.

The bathroom sections of Live Artex's guest areas are clean and full of high-end, modern furnishings, including hairdryers and luxurious styles. The spa bathtubs provide a relaxing retreat, while the sink area is open enough to allow you to move freely through the bathroom.

The included massage chairs, lotions, towels, and other high-quality items will ensure a comfortable stay, regardless of which room style you choose. Furthermore, these small touches add up to the overall feeling of a caring and dedicated staff team, which always replaces the items as needed.

The cost of staying at Live Artex can be rather steep, especially considering its placement in Japan. You'll likely need to scale back some of your spending if you're traveling on a budget, and even if you're not constrained by funding, you may be surprised at the total cost of the visit, when compared to its included services.

If you plan on visiting Live Artex and don't speak Japanese, you may have trouble getting access to some crucial services. The staff members are pleasant but speak little English and other languages, so the disconnect between both sides can often lead to misunderstandings or frustration.

If you or somebody in your party has a sensitivity to smoking rooms, then you may want to steer clear of Live Artex. There are no nonsmoking rooms located within the hotel, and even if the rooms are marked as such, there's no guarantee that they've been properly cleaned between guests.
