    Nice place to stay in Osaka
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Double or Twin Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    I was disappointed by the unreasonable extra charges for adjusting the number of guests in the booked twin rooms. The additional costs exceeded the expected fee for one additional breakfast per room by almost double.

    I appreciated the good value and cost-efficiency of the stay. The hotel's location was excellent, and the facilities were nice and well-maintained.

    My room is right next to the road highway/train track ^^" so you can hear trains until 12+, then cars all the way one in awhile thru the night. Loud but bearable (subjective), i am ok with the traffic because i take a while to sleep, then i am gone. maybe i just got unlucky and other rooms are better i cannot confirm. But they do give ear plugs to help with this, but their ear plugs do not really help. Curtains are also NOT black out, so i got up at 5.30 every morning due to the sun haha, but easy issue to fix by wearing your own eye covering mask. also not a big issue to me. However, my room toilet has a weird smell, it's not the typical Japan sewage smell, but there is a funky smell that will not go away no matter mow much perfume/freshener i spray. i suspect it is from the shower curtain but although funky still tolerable so not the worse thing in the world.

    The hotel itself is clean, they don't do daily full cleaning, just empty your trash/replace towels. Full cleaning only every 3 days, I don't really mind it. i am appreciative of the cleaning for the "budget" of the hotel. Location wise it is a 7-ish mins walk daily to the nearest metro station, about 10 mins to the metro's station lift entrance so not too bad. about a 15-20mins walk to the nearest city station, Namba, i walked about 15mins every night to the nearest arcade that opens till midnight. and Namba is near Dotonbori, so if you are into bars/clubbing life at dotonbori and miss your last train, you technically still walk back, although it might be a very long walk. Nearby the hotel has many food, many convenience store, with one convenience store right beside the hotel. Felt safe as a solo female traveler. Room wise, i find it perfect for 2 person, in fact rather spacious in the context of Japan traveling accommodation. Their room also feels bigger than another hotel that i stayed in Osaka before this (that is more expensive). Everything working fine, very clean. Staff are friendly, they have auto translator machines that translate what they are saying to you. I overheard them trying to give travel tips to two ladies who were asking for the method to get to the airport with their 3 luggage. A trainee staff also assisted with my check in and baggage delivery and she was very nice. I did not go for breakfast so nothing to say about that.

    Some Rooms are near by the rail tracks, it will have noise.

    Very close to the Kizu Ichiba, just 1 mins walking distance. Can easy to try the fresh Sushi, Sashmi and Fruit in the early morning because the market will close on 11am. Just 5 mins walk to Imamiyaebisu Station then take 1 station to Namba or Shin'imamiya Station to get the Nankai Express train to airport in 30mins

    Next to a rail line and a flyover road. Try and get the room away from these. Noise takes a little getting used to, bad sign if the hotel is providing free ear plugs. The Bathroom height will be troublesome for anybody over 6 feet as it is raised floor. That said not a bad deal for the price. Also remember trains stop at about midnight, so if you are just using this as a sleeping joint then it is ok.

    Clean, new property, convenience store next door. 650 meters to the nearest Daikokuchō Station. Beds were comfy and the room was exceptionally clean.

    Budget hotel to stay in Osaka
    • Leisure trip

    The room lacks space for bags. Even though it was the biggest one I had during my stay in Japan, the storage space was quite limited. The train line and highway nearby are terrible. It is necessary for the owner to replace frames and windows so as not to feel all the noise and vibrations. Lots of noise and noise. Between 00:00 and 6:00 there are no trains, reducing the deck, but other than that, it is impossible to rest peacefully.

    It's called Namba but it's almost 1 km from Namba station. Still, it's a good walk to the station. In this case, I suggest using the Metro, Daikokucho Station, to travel to points of interest in Osaka. Room is ok and clean. Amenities are available daily at the entrance to the elevators.

    Rooms are very small but is good enough if you are looking for a budget place to crash after exploring throughout the day. Our room was infront of the station so can hear train noises so it was bit annoying at times to sleep.

    It was conveniently located 400m walk from subway station exit and close to Namba station as well. Good place to relax after a tiring day exploring the streets of Osaka. Good enough option if you are looking for a budget option to stay in Osaka.

    As an overall advice, if you're sharing bedrooms in Japan, consider reducing the size of your luggage. The bedroom is quite small (but this seems to be the standard in Japan), and it can be difficult to find space to open more than one luggage at the same time.

    Very clean, easy check-in and check-out, luggage storage, different metro stations a few blocks away, café and small shop nearby.

    very clean, staff helpful and pleasant, very efficient, good location close to numerous places to eat, shop, and hop on trains or local buses. Hotel also provided tea, coffee, travel needs like toothbrushes, and bottled water every day. And, if you arrive early, or check out but wish to explore the city, they will hold your bags for you...very helpful!

    No complain to be honest. But if you are big body build like me, the room will be a bit small especially if you staying with a partner.

    Our best stay in Osaka Japan. The facilities are new. Hotel self-check-in is seamless. Laundry can be done self-service. We have a very comfortable stay. There is also Lawson nearby. Main transport station within walking distance.

    It is a bit far from the Namba station. Has to walk for 15 to 20 minutes from Namba (Nankai line) to the hotel.

    The hotel room is a bit small ( 16 sq m), this may be the norm in a busy city like Osaka. It provides high value for money. The rooms are clean and it provides nearly all amenities needed. There are also free coffee and tea.

    Only one pillow per bed, and very soft, so I had to use my neck pillow to provide adequate support for my head as I slept Little bit rattly on the windows as trains would pass, but it was easy enough to sleep through Bathroom ceiling is much lower than the rest of the room, so for someone my height I kept accidentally hitting the ceiling when having a shower or getting changed

    Great location near Namba, easy access from the nankai airport line and easy access to multiple train lines to explore the city Lots of good restaraunts nearby, and they provide umbrella rental when it is raining
