A Surprisingly Nice Hotel”

We were a group of 8 relatives who came to Japan and I was looking for a last minute hotel for us that was clean, has a good location and a price point that all our relatives could agree on. And Hotel WBF Hommachi gave us all that. They opened a slot here at Agoda a few days before we left for Japan. And we all thought it was the best decision that we made booking here. The hotel is located in the middle of Namba and Umeda and the Hommachi Station was just a block away from us. Their neighbourhood was nice, quiet and safe. The staff were all very accommodating, very helpful. The bathroom was quite small but we've already expected that. The room seems smaller just because the 2 single beds were pretty big for our rooms. Everything's very neat and clean there (which was one of our biggest requirement for a hotel) so everyone was very happy with that. Thank you to all the staff there especially to the 2 gentlemen at the front desk. They were truly very helpful.

Go for the twin room”

We stayed in the double room the first night and it was tiny even for japan standards. There was no space to put my luggage. The 2018 Osaka earthquake happened early next morning and we requested a lower floor room. This was a twin room and it was much better. The hotel will tell you to use the "wbfhommachi" wifi network but it was unstable and I found it much better to use the one in your room. There's a separate wifi network for each room. The password can be found in the TV (the TV has this function which lets you cast your phone to the TV. One of the instruction pages show the wifi password, it's not difficult to find). Google Chromecast works only if you use the wifi in your room. Hotel also provides a free smartphone with data in each room which you can take with you for google maps web browsing. Shinsaibashi is minutes walk away from the hotel and Hommachi subway is also nearby. Breakfast is one of the best I've had.

Small but has everything you need”

There is this Chinese saying “Sparrows are small but their major organs are intact.” This is to describe that though it is small, but it has everything you need, and I think this describes Hotel WBF Hommachi very well. I had booked a double bed for myself so that I can rest comfortably; there are also a kettle, fridge, hair dryer, dehumidifier, hangers, full length mirror, clothes fresher and a bath tub. You can control all lighting from the headrest and you can charge your phone directly from the USB port. Overall, location is great, room is small but comes with everything you need.

Staying in this hotel is one of the best option when you visit osaka. The hotel provides you all the essential facilities you needed including a free smart phone with wifi, heater, warm sleeping clothes, blower, safety box, bath tub, etc. The buffet breakfast is also good & healthy. The staff are all accomodating and they will help you with all the direction info for your travel. The location is very strategic for tourist bcoz it’s near the train station hommachi and walking distance to shinsaibashi shopping ctr & the famous food trip street - Dotonbori. They also offer free wine or beers at night once you get membership (it’s for free). We’ll definitely recommend friends to stay in this hotel. ☺️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

A pleasant and value for money hotel to stay.”

Value for money as it cost around SGD 80. Location: Few minutes to nearest MRT - Hommachi station with 3 subway lines which can directly go to Umeda and Namba; Can walk directly to Shinsaibashi Shopping Arcade and Dotonburi (2KM). Cleanliness: Overall was OK, just the toilet exhaust fan was dusty. Staff: Great and willing to help. Facilities: Smart phone without portable wifi function (can still be used for mapping & internet browsing); Washing machine and dryer (limited to 2 units each); Pocket wifi rental (500 yen per day with 3000 yen deposit, first come first serve basis); Video on demand / Adult video (1000 yen per day); Toothbrush with toothpaste and manual shaver; Free Kimomo experience for 1 hour on Friday, 5:00PM to 6:00PM (as at now); For those arrived early in the morning, you can store your luggage in the hotel until check in at 3:00PM.

Upon arrival I was warmly welcomed by the staff. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, a special thanks to Lee Changi. I was very pleased with my stay, and although short this time, I hope to be back for a visit in the future. This is an excellent hotel location within walking distance to hommachi station (approx. 5 minutes ), 15 - 20 minutes walk to Shinsaibashisuji & Dotonbori district a few train stops to Shin-Osaka Station. The room was a bit small with a small bathrom (didn’t spend much time in the room at all) but it was always clean and warm. Would definetely recommend this hotel to everybody. It's a true sample of excellent hospitality. Thank you! Best, J.R.

Exceptional”

The room is quite small but very functional. You need to move your luggage around when you need to pack/unpack. But aside from the room size, we love everything about the hotel. Good: very accessible to Hommachi station, about 5min walk. 15-20min walk to Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori area. Good variety of Western and Japanese breakfast. If you sign up, you get free access to guest lounge and enjoy complimentary drinks at night. They provide daily sleepwear so less clothes to pack on your travel.

Exceptional”

We stayed in the twin room, and it was spacious enough for me and my daughter. The staff were polite and always willing to accommodate requests. The toilet and bath was well stocked with amenities. Much loved is that they provide you a smart phone you can use during your stay so you can easily find your way in and around Osaka. I think this is the latest trend now among hotels in Japan. The Hommachi station is about 15 mins walk from the hotel, and there’s also a 7-11 store nearby.

Best hotel for budget travelers”

Best hotel for budget travelers. Hotel Staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel is located near Hommachi station, it takes about 5 to 10 minutes to walk from the station from the hotel. The room rate is very reasonable, and they try to satisfy all your needs. And I were there. I would definitely come here again next time I come to Osaka, or Kyoto.

Decent location and helpful service”

It's close to Hommachi station but it is still a block away from the nearest exit. There's not much around the hotel. Hommachi station is an interchange station for subways so it's convenient to go to other places. It's also not as busy as the usual tourist areas but for my stay the area seems pretty safe. The room is very small (I booked a single room but they don't have single rooms). But it has pretty good amenities. The first room I had got some wifi issues so they could get a same type of room for me. They also have a laundry room which is useful, the machines are coin operated and is located at the 3rd floor. Overall pretty happy with my stay. Didn't get to eat breakfast at their restaurant however as my package didn't include that.

Great Stay, Excellent Location”

Two singles guys travelling together could easily afford their own rooms, small but very well appointed, breakfast was good value, we even joined their Hotel Club, I would just like to see their Hotels in Tokyo as well. Location is very close to Subway Exit 21 of Hommachi Station, just five stops away from Shin Osaka Station and the staff are superb

Great staff delicious breakfast!”

The staff at the hotel are attentive and speak good English. There’s always a staff ready to help guests at the reception. Staff will greet you when coming and leaving the hotel everyday. Please be aware a bottle of water is 100yen. Room is on the small side (as I travelled solo), but got everything like TV with local & satellite cable and mirroring, fridge, pajama, all bathroom amenities, bed light, charging outlets etc. Breakfast is exceptional. Japanese buffet style (udon, dashitsuke, tamagoyaki etc) but also got western elements (great coffee, salad bar, juice, pastries etc). The breakfast is easily the main reason to book for many occupants! Well worth 1,300 yen. Closest subway station Hommachi is about 6-7 minutes walk from hotel. The area has many small restaurants and the closest konbini is at the subway station. One negative is the cleaning staff are not very professional. A few came into the lift I was in and pressed all the floors they needed to stop at..

Great location; great hotel room for its price”

It was located in a very convenient location, just less than 10 minutes walk to Shinsaibashi and close to Hommachi station exit! The room was tiny but had everything we needed. Great selection of toiletries in the bathroom and very valuable for its price!

good location”

Just beside Hommachi station in 5 mins and about 8 mins to get to Shinsaibashi. Reception staff is friendly, several convenient stores are quite close to this hotel (approx 5 mins..) But the room is relatively small but overall is very clean in lobby and room itself. Highly recommended.

Very good”

-We booked a semi double room, it is small as expected, but room is clean and neat. - No water bottle provided in the room. - Location is about 450m from the nearest exit 15 at Hommachi Station. There is no escalator for this exit, so it is a bit tiring if travel with big luggage and old people. -Walking distance to Shinsaibashi. -Breakfast is good, it is worth to book the room together with breakfast - register as the WBF club member, then entitle to check in at 2pm and get a set of gift like water, coffee, skin care, enjoy softdrinks and coffee in lounge (no more free wines or beer effective 1st November 19).

Everything was very good”

Love to stay here. Staffs are helpful, on 18th October, my father spectacle was broken. Lady staff duty on day time she helped him to fix it with super glue. Actually when my father asking me i was thinking hotel shouldn't have this super glue but they do. Unfortunately i cant remember her name (she the most taller stuff lady) Great Job. We are stay at 4 different hotels in Japan during our 8 days trip. Hotel WBF is the best of everything including Breakfast, recommend you try their Pastries. Thank you.

Good value, clean, new”

Good Japanese-type business hotel (i.e. tiny room, unit bathroom) within walking distance of Hommachi Subway station - quite a long walk to the Midosuji Line as it turned out. The young crew were efficient and friendly, especially considering how late I arrived; and spoke good English. The place is fairly new, clean and well kept. Convenience stores are a five minute walk away. Check-out time was a somewhat skinny 10:00. They have breakfast too but I skipped it, so can't comment.

Clean, Convenient, helpful staff”

Enjoyed the 10-15 min walk to the major tourist attractions - Dotonbori, Amerikanmura and Shinsaibashi. Hommachi station just 5 mins away. Friendly, helpful staff. Clean, functional rooms.

Exceptional”

The hotel is conveniently located near the metro and walking distance from the Shinsaibashi shopping area where there are lots of shops and restaurants. The surrounding area is safe and clean. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and spacious. My only comment is they do not provide complimentary bottled water. The breakfast is plentiful and diverse and also offers local delicacies. Another perk is that the hotel offers free kimono rental for fun photo opportunities.

It's okay convenient and fairly priced”

Nothing bad about the hotel. Newly built and located not far away from Shinsaibashi & Honmachi. The room is a bit tiny but the price makes up for it. Would consider booking it again if I ever visit Osaka in the future.
