Candeo Hotels Osaka Namba

8.5 Excellent

Based on 486 reviews

Brand new Hotel is situated approximately 500 meters away from the subway. Very clean and nice. Excellent facilities.

Reasonable room size, however bathroom is very tight and small. This is not important as the hotel has a Spa lounge at the roof top separated by male and female. There is in door spa and outdoor including a Suana room. Awesome releaxation place after a day of long walk. There are also 6 washing and dryer machines for you to wash and dry your clothes. 500 yen for standard 120 mins. There are vending machines with drinks and ice cream. If you are traveling using subway with big luggages, it would be a huge challenge to bring your luggage up the stairs from the subway as there is no elevator. There are convenient stores just few steps from the hotel; 7-11 and a family mart across the road. These convenient stores sells nice food items including breads etc. Location of the hotel is very near to Dotonburi street, lots of fabulous food stores.

Hotel Nikko Osaka

8.5 Excellent

Based on 2413 reviews

Hotel Nikko Osaka location is unbeatable. It is located on Sinshaibashi Dori ,just few minutes from the shopping arcade and Dotonbori.

We never got tired of walking through these areas every day and night. We were there end November and early December. The view of the autumn leaves of the gingko trees from the breakfast area was breathtaking. The breakfast selection was fantastic.The breakfast omelette the best we ever had! The hotel staff was genuinely warm and very attentive. Our room was spotless every time we returned from our day trip. The airport shuttle made our trip to the airport fuss free and comfortable. Thank you Hotel Nikko for making our second trip to Osaka filled with warm wonderful memories and making it one of our best memories of 2016!

Hotel Nikko Kansai Airport

8.7 Excellent

Based on 7521 reviews

The carpets in the room was filthy and stained. It was dirty enough that I would have been surprised at a 1 star Days Inn in backwoods USA, let alone a "4-star" airport hotel in Japan.

Shameful. There seemed to be some misunderstanding with Agoda. Agoda sold the room for three people as "breakfast included". The hotel was only willing to give two breakfast tickets. This led to a big argument with the check-in person who was quite rude (unexpected for Japan) and kept interrupting. Later I was able to speak to the manager who sorted it out. I had booked a nice-ish hotel (more expensive than others) for the convenience of a nice breakfast buffer (which it was) and also expected decent service without hassle. The last part was very lacking & in great contrast to other hotels in Japan which generally have fantastic service and polite staff. The lesson is: beware of "breakfast included" on Agoda. This seems to be fraudulent: there were two occasions on this trip where the hotel did not want to honour the Agodo breakfast offer.

Hotel Brighton City Osaka Kitahama

8.7 Excellent

Based on 1983 reviews

great location, there are 2 convenience stores across the hotel, the kitahama station is just across roughly a 1 min walk & there is a bank 2 mins away.

Lots of small places to eat around the hotel you can explore and walk around. Our room is small but compact and for a small bathroom we do have a bathtub. Modern design, clean and most of the staff at the reception during the day was helpful. The guy at the reception when we arrived did not bother to help us with the luggage. Overall this is a really nice hotel it looks new

Onyado Nono Namba Natural Hot Spring

9.1 Exceptional

Based on 2190 reviews

I reviewed this hotel before i had the heart to book it. Located within walking distance from Nipponbashi station, Kuromon Market , Dotonbori and Shinshaibashi.

My friend and i arrived at 9 PM took the train from Kansai airport and exited thru the Nipponbashi station as instructed in our Google map app. We walked back and forth around the area locating the hotel but apparently there was no signage of the hotel i could read, it was all in Japanese characters. Would like to suggest a signage that could be appreciated by tourists and Japanese guests alike. With that initial difficulty everything paid off since the staff was so accommodating trying to help with every need. The room was small than what i was used to for two. Every need however was covered from ice to spoons and forks and chopsticks where one could get at the 5th floor. The only other difficulty was for us to remove our shoes whenever we go in and out of the hotel. Breakfast can have a change of menu. Very Good overall!!!

Holiday Inn OSAKA NAMBA

8.4 Excellent

Based on 3284 reviews

We had a positive experience staying at this Holiday Inn. Within steps of the hotel there are great places to grab a bite to eat - ramen, sushi, korean bbq, takoyaki, coffee.

This was fantastic because it didn't take any planning to figure out where to eat on the night we arrived in Osaka. There's a 7-eleven on the first floor of the hotel, which was really convenient to buy drinks and snacks. The shopping in this area was not all that great for me, particularly because I was looking to purchase something that I could not buy at home. Forever 21 and H&M, for example, didn't interest me. But, the Namba station is within a quick 5-7 minute walk, so we were able to take the subway to various parts of the city and even to Kyoto for a quick day trip. The breakfast buffet offered western and asian options: scrambled eggs, bacon, curry rice, miso soup, salad, cereal, coffee. It was a pretty good spread. Be aware that the cleaning department closes at 4:30pm, so if you want your room cleaned, be sure you leave enough time during the day for them to do so - or make a special request with the front desk. Our room was at the end of the hall, so that might have been the issue. It wasn't a huge deal, because they offered us a canvas box of clean towels and water.

Swissotel Nankai Osaka Hotel

8.8 Excellent

Based on 4695 reviews

Hotel's location was great, placed in between shopping malls and walking distance to the famous Dotonburi, Namba station was just underground so we had no difficulties in navigation.

Takashimaya department store is just below the hotel, and there were a lot of pharmacies and restaurants nearby. Although i find it pricey for its room, and a 5 year old breakfast is chargeable, airport transfers were chargeable ( so they suggested us to take the Rapit train instead which takes about 48mins from airport to hotel, the hotel bell service were immediately sent as soon as we called them from their phonebooth at the Namba station); its the comfort that is worth the penny. Staffs were polite and helpful; Room service in the middle of the night was on time and housekeeping is good. They even upgraded us to their Swiss Advantage room with a good view of the city and sent us chocolates as it was a birthday trip. for those travelling with a child or infant, i recommended Swissotel Nankai Osaka.

8.3 Excellent

Based on 5713 reviews

Just next to JR Namba Station and OCAT Airport Bus Station, super convenient. It takes only about 5-7 mins to 高島屋(南海電鐡)，南海通，戎橋筋，道頓堀.

There is also a big supermarket and 7-11 downstairs the hotel. I stayed in a twin room on 29/F, the room is spacious enough to fully open 2 big luggages. Air-conditioning also worked well and there were 2 complimentary bottles of drinking water every day. Only one down side is the housekeeping quality, no replacement for disposable slippers, no cleaning for drinking glasses. no replacement of tissue papers and bathing amenities.

Dormy Inn Premium Namba Natural Hot Spring

8.6 Excellent

Based on 2863 reviews

+ve: - great location and easy to find. Surrounded by many restaurants, convenient stores and shopping area, 5mins walk from subway stations - new hotel and great facilities.

I booked a single room which is quute big in JP standard - free ramen at night - nice and friendly staff - breakfast buffet is great with many choices -ve: - the women onsen is a disappointment - the area is quite small and ppl needed to wait for shower and locker at night. I wonder how could it support the whole hotel as there are so many rooms. As there were so many guests, it's crowded in the onsen/changing area and feel like not clean enough. - there is no running water into the pools (x2), so I suspect how long the same pools of water have been there... I stayed for 2 nights and both nights I didn't see any new/running water into the pools, where the "water pipe area" was dry, so I am quite sure it's the same pool of water for quite some time though the water is still warm. Didn't feel good abt it, so I just went for shower and left. - staff said key card is needed for using the elevator to your floor, but it wasn't the case as I saw ppl can operate the elevator without using a key card, and I tried too which no key card is needed before pressing the floor button...

Nest Hotel Osaka Shinsaibashi

7.7 Very good

Based on 3231 reviews

I had to go to Osaka for IT work, but since I'd just done a running event (Tokyo Yamathon 2016, 49K walk / run) the day before (a Saturday), decided to leave Tokyo Sunday and stay overnight.

The Nest Hotel is centrally located - I had a bit of spare time on arrival, and it was close enough on food to both Shinsaibashi-suji and Dotonburi, as well as Osaka Namba. And close enough to the relevant business offices to also make my way on work come Monday, a working day. Staff were mostly bilingual, and friendly. Hotel is nondescript, since I entered thru the back, which is really more for staff / deliveries. Facilities are OK, the room was small (13sqm) but I only had an overnight pack (my bog standard carry-on luggage, which I use on the shinkansen / "bullet train" as well). There is free wifi available if you need it. The system toilet / bath was clean, if dated (fixtures are new). Even managed a couple of really hot soaks of my tired feet. I'd use the place again to stay over when travelling alone, really mainly for the location. There are many nice eating places around, so you are really spoilt for choice cuisine-wise. Recommended!

Osaka Teikoku Hotel

7.9 Very good

Based on 2169 reviews

The hotel was located on one of the side streets which was 5 minutes away from Dontonbori where the night life was and the multiple selection of restaurants and market stalls.

The bed was big in size and there was plenty of floor space however, the bed sheets seemed very outdated and the bed was slightly on the soft side. The staff at reception was helpful and friendly. However, the only concern was coming out of the lift or entering through the doors to reception - the area smelt like cigarettes because they allow smokers to smoke on this floor and hence, to us the smell was very unpleasant if you plan to stay in the reception area for some time. Also, prior to leaving the hotel to explore Osaka - you must leave your hotel keys at the reception and request for them when you come back. This can be both a positive or negative aspect dependent on individual preference. Overall, if you're in Osaka for a short stay - this would be a good hotel based on the location.

APA Hotel Namba-Shinsaibashi

8 Very good

Based on 1375 reviews

Great location, near shopping, sightseeing, subway/trains, and food. I never had a bad meal in Osaka! Breakfast is good for selection and very good quality.

Typical Japanese breakfast items with some Western items. Room price is excellent if you book in advance. Be aware that the price goes up as the week goes on (it's cheaper on Sunday and Monday than on Friday and Saturday). By Western standards, the rooms are small. I'm 6'4" and can almost touch both walls in a Single Premium. (I'm pretty sure Premium is the same-sized room on the 13-15 floors). The bathroom is even smaller. One thing to remember is that the Japanese travel light and you can leave a lot of your toiletries at home. Soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, brush, etc, is provided. There's a Family Mart a block down if you forgot anything, anyway. Plus a whole shopping district! I'll stay there again, maybe in a double, and bring the missus.

Red Roof Plus Osaka Namba

7.9 Very good

Based on 6655 reviews

My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights. The hotel was very modern, clean and very spacious in comparison to Japanese hotels in general.

We were able to walk around comfortably without bumping into each other. Next door was a 7-eleven which was handy for our emergency supplies. It was a few steps to the main shopping strip - Dontombori, shinsaibashi, and Ebisu. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby. The entrance to thesubway station was outside the hotel. The only con is that we had to travel on the subway to get to Osaka/Umeda Station in order to catch any bullet trains to Kyoto and Osaka. This was difficult particularly when we both had 1 big suitcase and 1 big hand carry each. It was about a 15 minute walk from the Namba subway station to the hotel. We probably should have stayed close to Osaka/Umeda Station because we travelled to a few regions. If you're not traveling around then is fine. Overall a very nice, clean, spacious and modern hotel. We would definitely stay here again.

Hotel IL Cuore Namba

8.3 Excellent

Based on 3387 reviews

I booked this hotel for my family on their trip. Location is the best quality of this hotel, being within walking distance from a lot of eating places, Takashimaya, the trains (the train from Osaka Airport goes directly to the station close to the hotel), Dotonbori, etc.

And although the district is very busy, the hotel is tucked in a quiet part of the area. The reception staff can speak English and was very helpful in calling a pocket wifi company on behalf of my brother (my brother wanted to know how to return the pocket wifi he rented in case the desk at the airport is still closed). The room has enough space in comparison to other Japanese hotels. But my family was not very happy with housekeeping. On their 2nd and 4th days at the hotel, the housekeeper did not clean the room, change the towels, fix the sheets and wash the cups. They had to complain before the housekeeping staff cleaned the room, and had to wait at the lobby while they cleaned. The experience would have been quite nice if not for this issue. Despite the housekeeping issue, I rated the service satisfactory because the housekeeping issue was balanced by the good reception staff. Otherwise, housekeeping would have caused the staff rating to go down to disappointing. The room did not have complimentary coffee; although, it had complimentary tea. I would like to give this hotel another try nonetheless.

APA Hotel Namba-Eki Higashi

8.6 Excellent

Based on 415 reviews

The customer service by the lady executives is good in the afternoon. Even though they may struggle in English, you can see the effort to try as best they can to serve.

However, in the evening, as I went down to request for ironing facilities - I was informed that there is none by a male executive who was alright. To make matters worse, because of English limitation, this executive requested for the help of a senior, who most probably have better English mastery, who eventually made me feel looked down on, or that I am a foreigner hassle to him. I'd describe this executive as non-combed, almost bald headed. So not only is there no ironing facilities, the response from this executive also made me feel looked down. This has to be looked into by the APA Hotel Group itself. I realized this is more prevalent among male executives in Japan, as lady executives are usually rather courteous. I believe APA Hotel Group can look into this matter, as no one coming from another country and contributes to the nation's economy should deserve being treated in this manner.

The Park Front Hotel at Universal Studios Japan(R)

9.2 Exceptional

Based on 1604 reviews

Best hotel to be if the main purpose of your Osaka vacation is to go to Universal Studios. I had little hopes of this hotel being near the park because of our previous experience years ago when we booked at Hard Rock Hotel in Singapore.

Though Hard Rock claimed that it is near the park it was still quite a walk to go to the park. I was thus blown away when it turned out this hotel is indeed just a minute walk away from the park! I am very particular of hotel locations because my daughter has difficulty walking and I don't want to stress her out by walking long distances. It was therefore quite a delight that the hotel is very near the park. Since the hotel is within the universal city walk, all good restaurants are within arms reach. There is even a 24 hour convenience store Lawson within the hotel if you are in a budget. The train station is but a 3-5 minute walk and the ferry about 10 minutes.The bus station is also about 5 minute walk. Rooms are spacious and clean. We booked two connecting rooms for our group which consists of 4 adults and 3 kids. Staff are mostly courteous though it is difficult to converse with them as they are not that proficient in English. Thus, when I bought our USJ tickets and Express Pass with them, my questions were not sufficiently answered and I had to rely on the Internet. Our stay was overall pleasant except that we had to get a private van to bring us to the airport because the earliest bus available is at 9am. Taking the train would have been difficult as we have 4 big luggages. We were charged around 22,000 Yen for the van. The bus, had it been available at an earlier time, would have only cost us around 7000 Yen.

Namba Oriental Hotel

8.4 Excellent

Based on 2514 reviews

Its a little more expensive but we love staying here. The rooms are almost western size rooms. Big for hotels in Asia.

Always clean and the staff is always very welcoming and polite during check in and check out. The location is fantastic. Its right in the middle of shopping, food, gambling, everything! Very near to the train station so it is convenient to get there from the airport and vise versa. There is a little garden area in the middle of the hotel that is open to the guests to sit and enjoy. However, be careful not to take any food or drinks into the area as that is a big no-no. The hotel is connected to a few shops and restaurants but you are more than likely to find what you are looking for in the area. You'll never be short of places to eat or places to shop around here. We stay here every time we travel to Namba.

Best Western Hotel Fino Osaka Shinsaibashi

7.9 Very good

Based on 4134 reviews

This is the smallest room I have ever stayed in Japan. You can't even go in the same time you roll your luggage in because it is so tiny.

It feels like a walk-in closet. The biggest disappointment was the bathroom. I wanted to scrub the sink as you can see the dirt underneath and you can see the mold on the door, the walls. Very tight space whether you are in the bathroom or the bed. I stayed there for 3 nights and requested cleaning everyday and I don't think they even vacuumed the place since the same dirt I saw when we first checked in was there until we checked out. The reception desk wasn't at all receptive nor warm. I think for one night stay this is ok but for longer ones-book somewhere else. Definitely just good for a couple-don't even consider that a small family of 3 would fit because it won't. It is just way too compact.

Hotel New Hankyu Osaka

8 Very good

Based on 2810 reviews

The location is good. Especially for guest who arrive Osaka at mid-night, you can take the airport shuttle / airport bus, and the drop off point is just near by the hotel.

(the reception server 7*24, so its fine to arrive hotel during mid-night) There is 3 convenient stores nearby, and a subway station (2 mins away from hotel). so travelers might find it super convenient. One consideration is the room size. The room is not big enough, and you might find it a bit difficult to walk inside the room when you have 2 big luggages opened, And the room itself is quite aged.

Hotel Sunroute Osaka Namba

8.7 Excellent

Based on 2772 reviews

After reading reviews about this hotel, I kindly asked if I could get a higher floor during check-in ( hence, less traffic which hopefully equates to less noise ) and the staff was ever so helpful and was allocated the highest floor at the very edge of the building.

With this, even with paper thin walls, it wasn't so much of an issue as this corner of the hotel was not used by many and so wasn't the slightest bit disturbed by any noise and had a instead very pleasant stay. Rooms and cleanliness is definitely excellent. If only complimentary bottled water was given then it would be perfect. Though there's a notice in the bathroom indicating that the tap water has been purified and can be used for drinking, I would think most would still like the notion of being given bottled water as provided by most hotels. Above all, excellent location, great staff that speaks decent english but, slightly smaller room size.

Daiwa Roynet Hotel Osaka-Uehonmachi

8.7 Excellent

Based on 895 reviews

We had a very pleasant three-night stay at Daiwa Roynet Hotel Uehonmachi. The hotel is fairly new, the rooms and bathrooms were pristine, and the bed and beddings were very comfortable.

Location-wise, there was a supermarket next door and two convenience stores nearby. There was also a Don Quijote less than 5 minutes away by foot. If one needs to shop, the nearby Kintetsu mall, which is three-minute walk from the hotel, has Uniqlo, Muji, and ABC Mart branches, among others. It's not as close to Dotonbori or central Osaka as we would've liked, but it's still just a train station away. The hotel staff were efficient and helpful. There's free wi-fi access in the rooms and in the reception area. The care packages for the ladies were an extra special and thoughtful touch. All in all, our group of six adults, one kid, and one baby thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Located 10 meters on the right of subway exit (Minari-Morimachi) in front a big supermarket 24/7. Many local restaurants nearby.

Rooms are not big but very nice and clean. Bed is comfortable, speed wifi, very helpful staff, good lined and amenities. 3 small negatives points: windows can be opened of few degrees only, no international tv channels and air condition setting are in ideograms. The system is not intuitive because of the several options.

Hotel 88 Shinsaibashi

9 Excellent

Based on 322 reviews

Hotel 88 is just a 5-minute walk from the busiest area in Osaka, the Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi spot, but strategically located to avoid the noise while resting.

Daily commute is also very convenient as it is just a 5-minute walk from Namba Walk where you can hop to several subway and train lines, not to mention those restaurants and shops you will pass by where you can grab some food and stuff at a cheaper price. Staffs also communicate well in English, they would even try to give you certain instructions on the best routes you could take based on your itinerary. Would like to special mention the hotel's director, Christy, in which she was really consistent on making us feel at home by making small talks everytime we arrive at the hotel or during our coffee session in the lobby. The only negative side I have experienced was when they refused to grant my request for late checkout at 12nn, and even made me pay ¥2,000 for 2 hours extension.

Hotel Hankyu International

8.8 Excellent

Based on 626 reviews

We found our way from ShinOsaka to the hotel via subway on the Midosuji Line and then got off at Nikatsu Station.

Easy to find hotel and reception on 2nd floor. The Hotel Hanyu International was absolutely luxury for the price. Plenty of staff to greet you and make you feel very welcome and always exceptionally friendly but polite. We arrived early and couldn't check in until 2 pm which seems to be the normal at every Japanese hotel. No problems to leave bags and go sightseeing. On arrival back at the hotel we were escorted up to our luxurious room, shown how to connect to wifi, how to use TV, push button curtains and drapes etc. The extra pillows I requested at time of internet booking were waiting for us on arrival. Nothing was overlooked. The room on the 33 floor with a great view was spacious with two plush lounge chairs, desk and plenty of lighting and outlets to charge Ipad etc. Marble Bathroom is VERY big with both shower and bath with thick towels. The beds were comfortable (2doubles) however we found the pillows a bit too firm. Great surrounding area with 7/11 down nearby street, subway very close and easy to get around on the subway or JR line. We visited Osaka Castle which was OK. The castle and surrounding moat was impressive but the museum inside the castle wasn't as impressive. I would not hesitate to return to the Hotel Hankyu International as our stay was wonderful and a lovely hotel to return after a day of sightseeing. Loved this hotel.

8.6 Excellent

Based on 2517 reviews

On my 1st trip to Osaka, i just put my faith when I booked this hotel because it's among the highest recommendation on the list.

And true it lives up to my expectation. First, I did not even realize that this hotel is actually just around the corner from Dotonburi, and basically you just need to cross a small alley from the lobby's back entrance and there you arrive at the Glico Running Man billboard. Food & shopping area around the area is very much accessible too. Another nice surprise is the bathroom in the room, which is exceptionally clean & the amenities are very impressive too. I would gladly recommend this hotel to anyone who's planning to visit Osaka.

Ark Hotel Osaka Shinsaibashi

7.9 Very good

Based on 1744 reviews

This will probably be our first and last time staying at Ark Hotel. We visit Osaka regularly and stay at our usual hotel which was fully booked this time.

We chose Ark Hotel for its reasonable rate. Although WiFi is said to be available in the rooms, it didn't work properly. We reported this to the Reception staff, and were given a device to be plugged in the room, but unfortunately, the WiFi connection was still poor and unstable. The walls and door are very thin, as we could hear the man snoring in the next room during night time. It was pretty annoying when other guests chat loudly or coughed in the corridor. Housekeepers forgot to replenish green tea bags most of the time. The exhaustion fan in the bathroom is supposed to suck out foul air from the toilet, but when I tested it with a tissue paper, I was surprised to find that it blows in air instead. I was irritated when I found foul smell in the mornings, suspecting that this fan system will transfer foul air from other guest rooms to our room, and I had to open the window for some fresh air. The checkout time for most hotels in Japan is 11am, but Ark Hotel is 10am. We forgot to find out its check out time and went out for breakfast. By the time we returned and almost ready to go, a hotel staff came to knock on our door at 10.30am, saying that we were late for checkout time, and they will charge an extra 860 yen. She said that she had called our room earlier but could not reached us. We explained that our room telephone cable has been plugged into the devise for WiFi connection. But when we asked her why didn't she call our mobile as we provided our Japan mobile number on our check-in form, she was speechless, and repeated that we have to pay the extra charge. We are awed by such stupid hotel staff and stupid management style. We paid the extra charge and definitely blacklist this hotel in the future. We will not recommend any one to stay at Ark Hotel.

Onsen and breakfast were great. The location was excellent right in front of the subway station. The room was not that clean compared to other APA hotels.

Housekeeping didn't clean the room well. I had to find my sleepers under the bed. The biggest complain I had was the staff who checked me in. I booked 2 rooms. I wanted to have the rooms next to each other or on the same floor. I understand that my request is not guaranteed. But the staff gave us one room on the 14th floor and another room on the 23rd floor even after I explained her IN PERSON I would like to have rooms on the same floor. She explained that it's because we had 2 different types of rooms but when we went to the room, two rooms looked exactly same. If the staff THINKs properly and CAREs us, she wouldn't give us rooms 9 floors apart. I don't believe she doesn't have any rooms between 14th and 23rd floor.

Osaka Marriott Miyako Hotel

9.3 Exceptional

Based on 1063 reviews

The Osaka Marriott Miyako hotel is beautifully located in downtown Osaka, right next to the Tennoji station and above the Osaka-Abenobashi underground station.

From Kansai airport arrivals, take the escalator to 2/F and walk over the pedestrian bridge to the JR station. I bought a train ticket to town for $12. Could have taken the express train for $25 but the regular train left first so I took it. You walk out of the JR ticket office and directly opposite take an escalator down to the platform. Arrived Tennoji about 40 minutes later. Exit on south side, cross the street for G/F entrance to Marriott. Lobby is on 19th Floor. Going back out to Kansai airport I took hotel arranged taxi for ¥11,000 or $100. 45 mins to airport. The hotel itself is modern and nicely designed. Beautiful western restaurant on 57th floor with a superb pasta. Fantastic views of Osaka, as the Miyako Tower is the highest building in Osaka. Separately an excellent Teppanyaki Restaurant on the same floor. Also excellent. One issue - for socialising the 19/F hotel lobby bar is a bit quiet, although the bar staff are very good. I tried the Hibiki whisky and the Kraken rum. The room rates are very reasonable and the room cleaning staff were very diligent. Concierge lady was excellent. Be aware most taxis cannot find the street entrance. The correct taxi stand is 100m up the street from the G/f entrance.

Great location. Just outside the Universal city station and a short walk to USJ. Very clean room but the bed is harder than most hotels have.

Would prefer to have more pillows - bigger and softer pillows next time. Very friendly and polite staff. They have a JP Post booth on the 3rd floor. We availed their services to send our four big luggages from Osaka to Tokyo instead of taking them with us inside the bullet train. Price is per luggage and depends on the size of the luggage. Great hotel. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a hotel near USJ. We will choose this again when we go back.

The room was a fair size and had all amenities, the staff at the front desk were very helpful and sweet, and being able to choose a yukata and optional extra pillow type upon check in was so nice.

Lobby was quiet and pretty, breakfast buffet was delicious with a good variety of Japanese foods and Western fare... and my favorite part was the bath, which is open from late afternoon all through the night until late breakfast. Everything was clean clean clean and the location was so convenient to come home to after a busy day of sightseeing (right outside the train station). I would love to stay with Super Lohas in this city or another one in the future, it was a very pleasant experience.

I love this place. The staff were nice and helpful, there's free soup and juice/water, which you can enjoy while browsing thru floor to ceiling collections of mangas (in Japanese though) and books of different genre (they have English ones!).

There's this sort of hidden nook visible on the second floor of the common area where you can sit among bean bags while reading! The place is also very clean, and i love the bathroom! super clean! they have around 8 shower rooms so there's never a line. The powder room is also so pretty, complete with hair dryers and lotions. Theirs is actually so much better than in the hotels. We stayed in hotels in Kyoto and Osaka, and omg the bathrooms are so cramped my friend hit her elbows several times on the wall! The rooms at this hostel are also kept clean, and lockers are provided as well as luggage locks. The beds are comfy, and comes with your own light and plugging station. It was a bit difficult to go in and out of the bed as it's really small, but i knew what i was getting into. It's a hostel/capsule type of accommodation. But if you're claustrophobic, hostels/capsules are a no-no. The place is convenient too: family mart just across the street, food stalls nearby, and if you want to experience pachinko (arcade), this is one place to be. It's also just some 15 mins walk to the shopping alleys. The only downside is that they don't have an elevator. So you have to carry your luggage all the way to the second floor. That was quite an effort on my part.

A warm welcome, with luggage storage facilities, hot tea or cold water on tap, and a Foot Bath for the weary traveller arriving after a long flight.

Large, clean kitchen area for food preparation or storage was available, sitting areas in western or Japanese style, and had we been further into our holiday, I'm sure we would have found the laundrette facilities handy. Sleeping on mattresses on tatami mats proved more comfortable than we expected, and the private toilet/basin and shower room we had attached to our room for 4 were spotlessly clean. Helpful staff on Reception. Location not far from the large Tennoji station and gardens opposite - about 10 min walk. Denny's nearby proved useful for breakfast. Loved it.

I arrived around 8am on the day I was supposed to check in, but the owner let me rest already even if it wasn't check-in time yet.

He also gave me my breakfast around 12nn the next day, when I was just stepping out. It's the little things that a solo traveler can really appreciate, and the owner of this hostel was extremely accommodating and friendly, even giving simple treats when all of us were converged at the lounge area at night. The bathroom facilities are very simple though, and no elevators (but the owner helps bring up the luggage). But overall, with the rate, it's very worth it. About 2 blocks from the Dotonbori River, about 5-7 mins walk to Shinsaibashi-suji shopping area. So easy to go around.

I had a good night's rest here. The beds were clean, comfy, spacious and there was even some bedside space for your belongings.

Towel and slippers were also provided. Staff were helpful and knowledgeable - one of them told me where to get an affordable sim card (at this IT mall called yodobashi umeda, near JR Osaka station). All in all there's really nothing I would fault about the space itself. In terms of location, you may wanna consider the following: 1) it's about a 10ish min walk from JR Osaka station and the path is unsheltered so be prepared if youre travelling with luggages on a rainy/super hot day 2) you need to find the right exit from the massive JR Osaka station - I asked the station staff for directions and also followed the detailed instructions on drop inn's website 3) drop inn is not in dotonburi where the action (i.e. food) is. It's in a pretty quiet neighborhood and food options in the immediate vicinity seemed quite limited to me (though of course you can always walk to the JR osaka station). But if you appreciate being away from the noise at dotonburi then this is a good choice.

The location of this hostel cannot be better as it's just 1 min walk from nippombashi station exit 2.

There's a supermarket and restaurants right down the building, there you can buy for your breakfast etc. Actually the hostel is located in an area full of restaurants, you won't be hungry during your stay for sure! The hostel seems to be newly renovated, with common room which broadcasts movie show at night. Then there's also a common kitchen which have bar table and traditional Japanese table, pretty stylish interior design. For female guests, there're two spacious female shower rooms plus around 6 female toilets and four sinks. The bedding are clean. You have to make up the bed by yourself and return used bedding to laundry bag before you leave. The only drawback of the hostel is, it's rather difficult to climb to the upper bunk bed. Overall it's an enjoyable stay and I give full marks for my stay!

Overall very happy with my stay here. The central location and price were pretty unbeatable. It's right near Namba station, so it was only a few minutes' walk to get here when we arrived on the train from the airport.

There's a convenience store right across the street and some good restaurants nearby. You can walk to Dotonbori from here. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and made us feel very at home here. The air conditioning in our room worked very well (important when traveling to Osaka in summer!) We did find the beds a bit thin, and maybe wouldn't have liked to sleep on them for longer than a short stay. The walls are a bit thin as well. For the most part our neighbors were quiet, though, so it wasn't a big problem.

the location is very good, short walk to nippombashi train station and also very close to famous Dotonburi street! I can do shopping, eating, back to hostel to put some stuffs and go out again.

Kuromon market is also very close and I love Otoro there! The hostel is new however their operation can be improved in order to control the guests. I booked for 2 nights and the first night, the common areas (including bathroom & powder area) were crowded and dirty! they don't have any tissue paper or bin around the powder area, I strongly suggest to put them so the guests can help keep clean either. Should have more housekeeper to clean the toilet as it is always a bit dirty. I booked the private tatami room and it was the empty room, no table, mirror, hanger.. nothing! I suggest to put a small Japanese table in case I need to do some work (which I don' want to use the crowded common room) and a hanger to hang my towels and jacket. The room wall is also thin that you can hear every noise outside. hostel should control the time of using hair dryer then (I could still hear the hair dryer sound at 1 AM)

To Senba Hostel , My friend and I had a trip to Osaka and we stayed in Senba Hostel for eight night(8/11-8/19).

I would like to complain the air conditioner in girls’ dorm, which had been out of working except first night. This situation had lasted almost every night, and it did not be repaired or even be improved. I had asked the staff member to give it a check, but all I received was only a fan that made a lot of annoying sounds at night. Therefore, we got up in midnight almost every day just because the room was too hot and humid and noisy. We hoped to get refund at least half of the price we’ve paid as compensation. Please take action and respond to my complaints as soon as possible. Thank you. Yours faithfully, Huang&Chou

Location is good, especially this apartment is situated between 2 subway station. Lots of travelling option, and walking distance to Tennoji tower.

Convenient stores and eateries are all available. Therefore value for money is 3 stars, location 4 stars. Cleanliness wise is OK in general flooring and common area. Perhaps I am extremely particular about cleanliness. I rated 2 stars because of the garbage trap on the kitchen sink, and also the sewage trap in the bathroom. There are a lot of food wastage in the trap left unclear which result in choking of the water flow. I can help to clear but i believe that's not my job to do the cleaning of the trap right? We did our best to unload the rubbish bag as well as maintain as clean as possible in the unit. The bathroom sewage trap is also full of hairs left unclear and its kinda gross if you open up the cover. Therefore please take note on that =) Staff I rated 3 stars due to the immediate rectification of issue. They had given us 2 towels instead of 3 (I book for 3 pax). But the staffs are very helpful in trying their best to rectify the situation although its their holiday. I thank them for their prompt solving of situation. What they need to improve, perhaps is their long term issue which is Customer Relation skills. Lets not go ahead with the language, but maybe what they can try is to help us ask their further high up management on some other situation that we are facing such as facilities. They had immediate rejected our request and inquiry without putting extra effort to ask. Perhap this may need to take note =) Facilities is 2 stars. Because of misrepresentation. The pictures had display the kitchen, but for what we knew is that we aren't allow to use the kitchen. And there isn't any washing machine despite there is a space dedicated for the washer. Perhaps if the kitchen aren't allow to use, please state so in the information. As what we understood, they mention the kitchen are reserved for their local only.

Very good location as you can see this from the map. Near to the Nipponbashi station, Dontonbori, Kuro mon Market, etc.

Very helpful staff although only one can speak fluent English. No elevator, staff will help with your luggage on request. No room cleaning service everyday, maybe it has on request but I didn’t need to use the room cleaning service. My room is Japanese style and it is small (just as all the Japanese hotel room). Yet, It is tidy and the bathroom is clean. There is no fridge. The shampoo, conditioner and shower gel is good to use(all Japanese brand). I wish the room could be larger but it is reasonable for this price. Overall, the experience is good.

I only stayed one night on Feb 13th. Before then, I stayed in Namba for 4 nights but there was nobody who could speak English fluently like the staff here.

I lost LG phone battery in Family Mart which is two-story building on the way to Himeji station from Himeji castle at around 1p.m. on Feb 11th. Battery was 25bucks and I just bought the extra battery before heading to Japan from Korea. The staff tried to help me out by calling those places where I might lose. It was interesting to me because Japanese wasn't flexible about way if thinking. That's what I heard from Japanese professor who taught me as well. He was kind anyway. I appreiciate it. So guess what? I am going to Osaka again on April 18th and will be staying (with my cute niece who is 12) this place for 3 or 4nights. Thank you for everything. You guys should book this place. Very comfortable(around this place there are 5 Family Marts), neat, cosy, and very clean. First of all, it' newly built. There are towels prepared in each shower room. I think this place is number 1 among guest houses all over the world. I gurantee 100%. This is very close to subway station but unfortunately I dunno what exit. See you~

I appreciated the privacy curtains around the beds, especially since I tended to wake up late during my stay-the light never bothered me. Very clean and organized. The only con I can think of is that the faucet water is very cold. Will definitely stay there again if I find myself in Osaka. 😊

Pros: It is ok if you stay with 6-7 persons in one small floor. the bed is large enough for one person.

the room is so clean and there is a light and two adapter for your phone charging and notebook. The location is very close to nambe station exit no.6 and there is one onvernient store(Family mart) nearby the hotel. The guy at the reception is very nice service. Cons: They do not have the elevator for this hotel. the large lauggage will not suit for this esp. when you have to climb up to the 5th floor. the female room has the 2nd floor. the mixed rooms are start from 3rd floor. You should have earplug when sleeping because it is very annoy when someone wake up and disturb your privacy. there is two toilet and one shower room (with heater) per one floor. you may take more time for queuing for showering.

share bathroom and toilet which were clean and as trhe place onlt takes less than 10 guests there was no prblem with them being free. it is situated in the entertainmet district and although has bars and retuarants around it it is a little quieter than the main area which is less than 10 minutes walk. this is a bonus not a critism. the staff were freindly . suggest google mapiing the location of the place it does not have the biggest sign. it is about a 6 min walk from the east entrance of namba station. directions exit east exit namba. cross road at lights (slightly north) head back down same steeet south and opposite where you came out turn left (east ) and walk around 300m. you pass a buisness hotel vear left and turn left at next steet. turn left at next intersection. the ryoken is on your left a feww doors down. there is a resturant on the ground floor and the entrance is on the third floor up the stairs. like i said google map it

+ve Points Cleanliness: The building is pretty new, so you can expect clean facilities from the bedrooms to the showers to the lounge area.

The staff vacuum and clean the area daily. Location: I did not know how great the location was until i checked in. It is a 10 mins walk to Amerikamura and Dotonbori for shopping! Also this location is superb if you have a JR pass as there is JR Namba station 5 minutes walk away. The local metro Sakuragawa is less than a 1 minute away on foot. Very convenient with eateries and family marts/lawson/7-11 splattered all around the guesthouse. Facilities: As mentioned earlier, facilities are still new. Lounge looks beautiful and cozy. Showers are shared. Bedrooms are big enough even though i booked a 12 bed dorm, it still felt as though i had enough personal space. Wifi in room and lounge area. Washer available for 100 yen. Theres a lift so you dont need to drag your luggage up and down the stairs. There are small lockers but please bring your own lock. Staff: The staff were amazing. Really super friendly and miss them so much when i left. Pang + Koh + Chise were very fun and warm and friendly. They would usually join the guests during dinner time and talk to us. Pang even cooked taki for us one night. Bianca is also very friendly and helped me with some recommendations for where to go. Thank you for the awesome stay! MISS YOU GUYS! FINAL THOUGHTS: This is definitely not the cheapest guesthouse especially considering its 12 beds shared dormitories. But i would say definitely the best guesthouse in terms of location cleanliness and staff. I had a wonderful experience and would not mind forking that bit extra for an enjoyable stay.

Our flight was a bit late so we were worried if we arrived later after check in time. We've emailed them a couple of times but there were no replies.

As expected we arrived after check jn time (at 11pm bcs of flight delays and stuff) and we couldnt check in. When we arrived around 12am, there were a piece of paper sticked on the door saying that we should check in the day after at 10am.... im pretty sure the notice was there purposely for us bcs there wasnt any notice the night after and so on. Honestly, they could have replied our email so that we could get ready to sleep somewhere else first. Thank god there was another guest house near shinsaibashi that accepted check ins late at night (booked for the night through booking.com). Checked in in the morning as per said. We got a huge room with four bed, the room was very spacious. The toilets were clean too. The bed was a little but uncomfortable because it was already very thin (needs new mattress). Location is very near to two subways so that was easy for us to go to town and other train stations. Check out was also easy. Internet in japan is great. But the room needs fresh air, i kept on sneezing everytime i came back to the guest house (i am very sensitive to dust) Overall everyrhing is fine except my experience with their check in (please reply to people emails)

It was a very wonderful and tranquil experience to live in a Japanese house with 100-year old bonzai tree garden, very clean and convenient facilities like new shower rooms and good quality toiletries.

The owner couple were very kind and accomodating to us, speaks good english. The location is very ideal for backpackers who want to enjoy the rest of their stay peaceful and relaxing after rigorous tour from temples and train switches. JR Hineno station is just 5 mins drive from the place and just 1 stop away to Kansai airport which is very ideal if you have very early flight. Mr. King offers free pick up from the station. They lend bikes if you want to stroll around the countryside with beautiful sceneries of the house farms and breathe fresh air. Though no taxi around, mr. King was very kind to fetch me from Lawson 1.7km by walking because I wanted to buy dinner. I will never forget their warm hospitality. Thank you so much again! I encourage everyone to try a experience at Pine Villa!

This make the guest house feels even more "homy" - You can have homemade cooking (made by oba-san probably) for 700 yen, you will eat with the other staffs / family members / guests - There is a small garden with some tables, perfect for eating place / working / just chilling out - Clean room, bed quality is as standard as a hostel can - Nice kitchen, have some uttensils that I think will be enough to create many kind of food - Have a balcony for you to dry wet cloths and also a smoking place - Toilet and shower rooms are clean and have basic ammenities The cons: - Location, the outside area looks like a rundown alley especially at night. - - Sometimes you can hear faint singing sound from nearby bars.

We reserved a family room for 4 adults with 2 double beds, TV and a small refrigerator at 4/F. There are three shared bathrooms, a toilet for male and female respectively which is quite clear.

Basic bath products are provided, shampoo, conditioner, bath gel and hand washing gel. The equipment and decoration are quite new and nice, such as micro-oven and electric air pot. They adopt self-check-in and check-out policy. So please dont expect that you can find a staff for information enquiry. Of course, you can go upstairs to 5/F to find them. It takes around 5-10mins to subway station and 10 mins to JR station. Nice place. A 24-hour supermarket is near to the guest house. I would like to make a suggestion to the guest house is please install an electronic smart locker in the entrance of the building instead of anyone can open and get in the building right now. Guest will feel much secure.

Our room was located in 3rd F with no elevator and stairs were small and hard to step also the room didn't look nice as the picture. We accidentally saw 1F room left opened it is decorated so nice and more convenient if we got this one. The last thing is we bought JR PASS so we tried to use JR rather than others however it was our own lack of thorough knowledge that Namba station is separated from JR-Namba station and it is quite far also.

Tiara Court West Private Apartment

8.1 Excellent

Based on 422 reviews

It was initially difficult to find the place as it's not on Google Maps. I landed up in Tiara Court East and could not find Tiara Court West until a tenant from Tiara Court East gave me directions.

Important to note, Tiara Court West is along the MAIN ROAD, just a right turn away from its sibling. It takes 3 minutes or less to walk from the apartment building to the Hanazonocho subway station. It was easy and takes about 30-40 mins to get from here to places like Shimbashi, Dotonburi, Kaiyukan and Universal Studios. Also about 50 minutes from Kansai Intl Airport if you go by Hanazonocho station to take the Haruka at Tennoji. Although I had a 19.4 kg luggage and two smaller bags, and had to climb 3 flights of stairs, the route was manageable. The apartment is also near a supermarket and a pharmacy; and for those in need of some familiarity, McDonald's is nearby too. Otherwise, the place is small, cozy and equipped with necessary electrical appliances (air pot, rice cooker, stove, refrigerator, etc) and basic toiletries to make your stay as homely as possible. I would however suggest for the hotel to provide bath towels. The WIFI connection in the apartment I stayed in was very weak and could only be found if I stood at a particular position in the apartment. Not great when one's trying to limit the paid data usage. However, I must commend the staff for responding quickly to my feedback about the WIFI. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to help much. Overall, a great stay.

The manager was very attentive and quick in responding in all requests, he changed for us a new kettle the next day after been told the malfunction. The only comment is the hot water is not consistent, and the cups were not properly clean. Also, the blankets and pillows were stink.

To be honest we didn't expect much. Pro. Good WiFi, clean place, located near subway station, inexpensive.

Cons. - 1.There was no key in the letterbox as per arrangement. So we had to make phone calls to contact the owner to come give us a spare key. Not a good first impression. 2. Electric kettle was't working, so we had to make do with the microwave for making coffee. We had to buy our own mugs as the 2 substandard plastic cups provided were not microwave oven safe. 3. Beds, one of the mattress was way beyond it's useful life, too soft and sagging., the other was near the end of it's service. 4. Totally void of service from the owner, and didn't have the courtesy to reply us, when we informed her(via text message) of our checking out and having done the necessary to return the keys. Having all said that, a seasoned traveler can make do ... but do not expect too much or you'll be disappointed.

Location and facilities are good but the person in charge is TERRIBLE. Not only does he not speak English, but he also couldn't care less for my overall well-being.

I had many problems including a fight with a taxi driver and being lost on the way to the apartment but the owner didn't help AT ALL (I had to call the police on my own and get things sorted out myself). Plus, follow-up after check-in is non-existant. This place smells xenophobic and the owner seems like he primarily caters for the Japanese clientele; therefore, I'd certainly not recommend it to foreign visitors. Go find a decent hotel in the area, there are tons of them!
