If bed sharing then it should be no problem. If you require a rollaway then that might be an issue. I would email the hotel in advance and let them know you will have your 3 yr old with you.

Currently staying at this property.
Some quick thoughts:
Some quick thoughts:
- The lobby is SPECTACULAR. You will WOW at the view when the elevator doors open. Likewise, the lobby bar is worth a quick drink in the evening just because of the view.
- Kura Sushi is very nice though expensive. If you have Gold/Diamond status and get the discount, then sure, go for it, but you can find the same sushi for half the price elsewhere in Osaka.
- Gym is too small. Treadmills have awesome views, but there aren't enough weights. Pool is also too small.
- The lounge is alright and a good place to get some work done on your laptop if you have some down time. But the liquor selection is quite boring and the food at tea time is no good.
- No upgrade for Diamonds (3 night stay)

Going to Osaka in April and booked 5 nights at Conrad Osaka with points. We are planning to use Osaka as base and travel around Kansai area, eg. Kyoto, Nara, Himeji. Will have a 2 year old kid with us so not planning to take taxi as we are not going to bring car seat. I'm wondering if it actually makes more sense to stay at Hilton Osaka or Intercontinental Osaka instead as they are right next to the train station. How much more troublesome is it to get to the Osaka train station from Conrad? With hilton points redemption including taxes and resort fees, it comes out to around the same as booking Hilton Osaka with cash, so it's a pretty good deal.

Conrad is a nice walk (~15mins) to Osaka station and I’ve done it a few times with my 3yo in a stroller. There’s also a subway station practically downstairs. We like staying at Conrad for the service, breakfast, and lounge but if you are using Osaka as a base for day trips it might be better (more convenient) to do Hilton or IC.

Kids can be a hassle so being close to a station that is large means simple and readily obtainable transport and food.
100% my priority over nicer food.
Esp because my kid will not get through a buffet breakfast. So even that is a tag team affair, hurriedly eating then entertaining kid while partner then eats

Kabuse?
I have an upcoming redemption stay at the end of the month.
The Conrad seems to have added a remark in the Comments section of my booking: KABUSE. Am I right to infer that Kabuse simply refers to my HH elite/diamond status?

Interesting stay so far. First day, luggage delivered via Yamato wasn't in our room (as a matter of fact, not even noted in their system at check in). They took a while to hunt it down and deliver it to our room.
No turndown service for 2 nights in a row already.
So far not impressed.
