The hotel is in a busy area so it is very easy to find good food. The hotel is easiest to get to from the Osaka train station via its tunnel network. Look for the sigh for Whity section and NOMOKA section of the mall. I remember passing the ibis hotel along the way inside the tunnel. Once back on the street level, go along the restaurant alley and in less than five minutes the hotel is right there. I wish I had this information because trying to go above ground was a mistake due to the divided motorway and the elevated footbridge. I recommend the tunnel network!
