Best hotel to stay at in Dotombori area!”
My family and I stayed here from March 6 to 12, 2020. We are a family of four but we opted for their Superior Room which can occupy a maximum of 6 people. The whole room was very spacious and spotless. Room looks newly renovated and interior was also on-point. It also came with a balcony with a city view as we were on the top-most floor. The room is complete with tools and supplies which can be replenished daily (We really love their free Ookini drip coffee!). Their beds really are of hotel quality and the room came with 2 split type airconditioners/heaters (one in the bedroom and one in the kitchen/dining area). They have plenty of power sockets available near the bed so charging of devices will not be a problem. The bathroom has a washing machine with a dry option if ever you decide to wash your clothes. Storage of clothes will not be a problem as the bedroom come with a full wall of cabinet for it. As for the hotel’s location, it is literally steps away from the train station. It is also between Family Mart and 7-eleven. You will never run out of food options as there are several restaurants in close proximity to the hotel, and the west-end of Dotonbori street is just 3mins of walk away. For those who like to shop, there are 3 branches of Don Quijote which are all walking distance from the hotel. Lastly, I would like to commend their receptionists (Ms. Yamagishi, Ms. Itumoto, and Ms. Eguchi) for being very warm and for attending to all of our needs. My family and I could not have asked for a better hotel during our family trip, hence this thorough review of them. We will definitely recommend Ookini Hotels to our families and friends. I am looking forward to our next trip!

no need to look further than this for your Osaka trip..”
very happy with our stay in Ookini - thank you! the location was amazing - right smack in the middle of action between the transport hub and shopping in Namba, the food strip of Dotonburi and Shinsaibashi, and the fresh market of Kuromon.. there is a subway exit a few steps (literally 3 buildings away) to the hotel.. you are provided security key codes valid only for your stay which was another plus as it allows flexibility for the group to come and go without minding keys.. check-in and out was a breeze.. they are able to store your luggage after check-out until you depart for airport.. the staff were friendly and nice, kudos! the room was clean & comfortable for a family of 4 with kids, has a functional kitchenette, dining area and laundry room.. toilet (those amazing Japanese bidets!), shower with soaking tub, and sink for brushing teeth were separate so allows for simultaneous use.. coziest apartment I've stayed in recently, so over-all worth it and highly recommended!

excellent hotel in Osaka”
we extended our stay here, so I'm being asked to review twice :) I think I have pretty much said it in previous post - excellent location, friendly staff, easy check-in, clean rooms, all amenities in an apartment provided, best value for money! plus they provide a pocket wifi you can bring with you around while in Japan - worked rather well on one charge for the whole day.. there is always 1 staff at the lobby for any concerns, and few times they kindly provided fresh towels, extra bottled water and toiletries when asked.. I was also super thankful that the staff who cleaned our room left some jewelry that inadvertently got under the bed (which I thought I lost at USJ) - further evidence of amazing, trustworthy service (and that they do clean under the beds!) :)

Excellent value for money accommodation in Osaka”
Is more like service apartment just beside Nipponbashi station and near walking distance to the famous Glico Dotonbori, Kuromon Market, Namba station etc. The 1 bedroom is big enough for a family of 4, with kitchen cooking utilities and room cleaning if stay 4 days or more......we stayed 10 days so we have 2 cleaning session. Staffs are very friendly and helpful, also there's pocket wifi for us to bring out so the kids can connect to free wifi to watch their youtube channels.....and the in room is also super fast. Will sure come back to stay again when we're in Osaka!! Thank you.

great stay ”
the location of this hotel/apartment is superb, it’s a few steps from station, take exit 6. you can walk to dotonburi, shinsaibashi, kurumon market. it’s totally great. it’s so lively. try the evening walk along the small river from dotonburi to hotel. there are restaurants beside the hotel on the left and right side. great for breakfast too. the only downside is at night you can hear the sound of the street, there’s one night at my stay the worker is drilling a hole in the street it’s 2 am in the morning so can’t sleep at all i’m a light sleeper so it’s not a good rest. but my family sleeps soundly not bother by it. so, overall it’s a great stay. at check in, the staff let us check in early because the room is ready, she even explains the places to go around the hotel. very helpful.. at check out, the staff kept our luggage downstairs until evening we go to airport. so, thumbs up. no need for coin locker. thank you, ookini.

Also there is always room for improvement as pointed out, thank you very much for helping us to move in that direction. We apologize for any inconvenience caused about the noise from the street.

We hope to welcome you back to stay with us again in the future. Best regards, Anna Miki, General Manager

I would definitely stay here again if I visit Osaka. It's right next to the subway station and it's a walking distance from Dotonbori, so it's very easy to move around. The staff was kind, like all the other people I met in Japan, and the rooms we stayed in were both very spacious and clean. They had practically everything we needed including free coffee and snacks, water, hair dryer, etc. And most importantly, they kept our luggage before check-in and after check-out. Overall, I would recommend this place for anyone traveling to Osaka on a budget and especially for those traveling in big groups.

Excellent stay”
Two thumbs up for Ookini. It is very accessible to Nipponbashi Station, a subway, which is important when you are in Japan as you will be riding trains all the time wherever you are going, and less than 5mins. walk to Dotonbori. Namba Station, a main train station, is also a 10min. walk. Didn’t mind walking a lot as it is cold during our stay. It has several nearby restaurants that open until late at night. There are also convenience stores close to the apartment such as 7 eleven and Family Mart. We stayed in a family room and it is well maintained with top notch facilities (as usual all over Japan). Room size is quite big compared to hotels in Japan and just enough for 4pax. Though if you are tall, the bathroom which has low ceiling might be a problem. Overall, we had a meaningful and pleasant stay. We’ll surely be back!

Pros: Excellent location. Spacious and clean. Convenient for smokers as it is just outside the room at the stairs. Able to cook and wash clothes. Cons: Heavy oli smell when window was open. Need to remember to refill the hot water whenever we leave the apartment or else we have to wait for 3 hours after we refill when we are back to the apartment.

Medical emergency attended well”
Wifey suddenly developed fever and acute abdominal pain on our third night (17 Dec) in Osaka. The night duty receptionist provided the address to the Chuo Hospital and we went there by taxi. We were really grateful for her action (not sure her name) as the rest fell in place nicely. The hotel was clean and the smoking corner was nearby .

More than OK with OOKINI”
Spent 6 days in Osaka travelling with young kids and an elderly. This hotel did not disappoint. It is Spot on in terms of location (sandwiched between 7-11 and Family Mart, Dotonbori and Kuromon Market). Everything we wanted and needed, this hotel delivered. Ideal for travelling with young kids and an elderly. Value for every yen spent. Booking here again the next time we visit Osaka. :)

A few step from the Famous Dotoburi”
When you arrive you can choose, get out in Namba or continue to Nipponbashi station. If the first one you just walk thru Namba Walk around 10-15 mins. They have elevator (important) in several exits. Very important to check when travelling to Japan. Room is not so big but very comfortable. Have washing machine but from my experience will not completely dry. Have small kitchen where you can cook. Kuromon market is a few steps away, also Dotoburi, 24 supermarket and convenience stores. Location wise, i think its not the most pretty one in Osaka but if you want to experience Osaka with all the buzz, this will be your great choice

Good location, helpful staff, easy check in & out. Fast wifi & a pocket wifi you can take with you. ”
Expect that there are no English channels on the TV and the amenities will be basic. Also, most rooms will not have a view since they are located at the back ~ however, if you are in a lower floor room, it will be an advantage as it tends to get noisy from the street noise (cars, foot traffic, etc). Convenient that there's a subway and the Namba Walk just at your doorstep and a 7-11 and Family Mart on either side. Plenty of places to eat and several popular restaurants nearby (across the street like Osaka Ossho and an udon place). Dotonbori is just a stone's throw away. Namba Walk is also a good place to find good food like 551 Horai. Transportation Tip: if your flight is coming in after 8AM or leaving in the afternoon, suggest you look at YouTourBus located at Doton Plaza. It's just 2 short corners away from Ookini so it will be easier than going to Namba station.

Great location. Clean and well equipped room”
This apartment is conveniently located near Dontonburi, Kurumon market, as well as walking distance to Namba. Kobe and Nara can be accessed directly from the nearest train station Nipponbashi. Eateries with acceptable price are around the apartment. It was great that the washing machine came with dryer functions as it will be difficult to dry the clothes without it during the winter season. We are happy to stay here. One thing to note is there is no room cleaning unless you ask for it.

Dear Ng, Thank you very much for your review and for choosing Ookini Hotels! It was our pleasure to have you as our guest. We are delighted to hear that you were satisfied with our facilities and location. Regarding our washing machines, while they do have a dryer function, we're afraid that clothing will not be completely dried when using it. Thus, we advise our guests to finish drying their clothes by hanging them up. We're afraid that we do not have a daily cleaning service. However, for guests with longer stays we offer a set number of room cleaning services. In order for us to be able to arrange for the room cleaning service, we ask that our guests contact us at least 1 day before, by 16:00. We are also happy to replenish towels and refill amenities for all guests upon request. We greatly appreciate the time you took for the review. All comments are worth reading and learning from. I sincerely hope we will get the chance to welcome you back. Please receive our very best regards, A
