Shinsaibashi hotels & places to stay

Really enjoyed our stay here. At least 7 mins to dotonbori and 15 mins to Namba or Shinsaibashi Station. At night there is a free soy based ramen and choice of alcoholic drinks, either soda, wine, beer or whisky. I do recommend that you use the onsen the moment it opens at 3PM and after 1AM if you enjoy that "private, on my own feeling",also feels good after long day out. Ladies onsen is has a complete amenities and there are 2 hot onsen, 1 cold onsen and 1 sauna. If you stay for long time (I did 5 nights), room cleaning is free but all up to you if you require it or now. You can also request a change towel ONLY service and rubbish collection. There is a free Laundry on the 13th floor but dry is 100 yen/20 mins. Also there is a chair massage 200 yen/15 mins. And, on the reception floor there is a microwave and cutlery as well as Lawson and Family Mart next next door. Also, THE TV SHOWS THE REAL TIME USAGE OF BOTH ONSEN AS WELL AS THE LAUNDRY AND DRYER which is always a plus when you cannot be bothered to go upstairs. I definitely recommend the hotel if you are looking for a very convenient, clean and "this is a chill holiday kind of hotel"

Friendly helpful staff that can speak multiple languages. Always happy to help. Luggage room that can be freely used when checking in and out. Sky Spa is a must do, very nice views of Osaka while unwinding in a heated bath. Room we hired was twice the size of a similarly priced room in Shinjuku, was good to be able to open all our suitcases at once! Had a couch! Location is nice and close to Dontonbori and all associated shopping like Den Den and Shinsaibashi. Only thing that might be an issue is it's a 10 minute walk from the closest subway station (Shinsaibashi) and not near any JR stations for those using a pass (JR isn't the best option in Osaka anyway). When leaving we caught a taxi from the tank just half a block down to Tennoji station which only cost 1100 Yen. Would recommended this if not forwarding luggage when checking in and out. Thanks for looking after us!

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.

Hotel is located in a good location,can walk just 2-3 blocks and you can shopping and dining at Shinsaibashi. Hotel is really convenient,train station is located under the hotel.Umeda station is really a good place for shopping just 3 stations away from hotel.Really recommended to stay here.Hotel staffs are really nice and service minded.Room is clean and cozy decoration.

This is a good hotel for avid shoppers as it is situated in one of the side street off the Shinsaibashi shopping mall which can link all the way to Namba and the famous Dotonbori area. It is very new (just opened in April-18) so is very clean. The room is a bit small but still ok for a couple. Some of the staff can speak English, in particular the young gentleman (if he is on duty) speaks fluent English. The hotel provides a ‘Handy’ mobile phone for our use for free which is useful for navigation and more local info on places to visit and eat. The hotel has a luggage storage room where you can lock your luggages after check-out for last minute shoppingwhichbis most convenient!! One thing to note is do get the front desk’s help for the direct way to/from Shinsaibashi subway station as Shinsaibashi is an interchange station and there are many exits. Even Google map made us walk around Shinsaibashi a couple of circles before we found the hotel when we’d arrived.

the hotel is located at higashishinsaibashi where is so close to shinsaibashi, the main shopping area in osaka. it was a good stay. we stayed for three nights in this hotel. we went shopping in shinsaibashi and then quickly went back to the hotel and left everything for another travel attractions. the hotel is good for shoppers and young couples. staffs speak good english. it is also three stations away from osaka castle, a must-go attraction in osaka. staffs are really helpful and polite. highly recommended hotel in shinsaibashi. just mind that rooms are not big in the hotel and in line with the 3-star standard. all in all, will definitely stay at best western hotel fino osaka shinsaibashi next time when visiting osaka.

This hotel is in between Shinsaibashi Station and Namba Station. It is very convenient to go to Shin Osaka Station from Shinsaibashi Station and to Nankai Namba Station (for the airport). We had 2 adjoining rooms which were quite big for Japan standards and the bathrooms were nice. The toilet (which had a mini sink) was separate from the shower and main sink. They provided us with complete amenities, including body towels, hairbrushes, shavers and most importantly, fresh pajamas everyday. This was so convenient for our tired weary bodies at the end of the day. The breakfast was good and there were no additional charges. There were also vending machines for coffee, juice, soda, hot chocolate, tea and water with biscuits available from 2 - 9 pm. We really enjoyed our stay and intend to book again if and when we visit Osaka.

The staff offered to park my luggage at the hotel before the time to check in at 3pm. So I manage to linger around Namba quite a while. Very near to convenient stores and it is only a distance away from Namba, Dotombori, and Shinsaibashi. Also near to Amerikamura where weekends are a cool street to walk in. The breakfast was nice. I went once, but didn't went again because I had to start my day way early. Breakfast was at 6am. (Yes. I did start my day at 5am for not clashing with the morning peak hours.) The hotel is very near a subway station. But further from JR station. So once you reach airport you can take JR trains to Namba. But the JR station to the subway station is a distance that you can walk underground. Basically, it is very accessible. Good place to go anywhere, regardless Kobe, Kyoto or Nara. Exit Namba Hips and you will need to spot Don Quijote, Penguin(Donpen). It will be located in the alley next to it. Overall, I had a very enjoyable stay there. Thank you!!

The very best feature with this hotel, is that all rooms are non-smoking so there are no risk of getting a stinky old, smokey room as can be the case in many hotels in Japan. Secondly, the location is great; walking distance to Namba and Shinsaibashi. Third; rooms are clean and has a nice interior design. Last; service is good: front desk staff speak good English, the restaurant has good food, and the massage parlor had good treatments. Lastly; the onsen spa is a fantastic way to relax after a long day of shopping and sightseing, and it is open all night. Internet wifi was working as expected. As for the free ramen that they served in the restaurant at night; it was a nice service, but you will find more complete (and tasty) ramen meals at any of the many ramen restaurants around town. If I should say something negative about the hotel, it might be that pillows are rock hard (but I got a softer one, so that was pretty great too) and there would be nice with at least one English news channel. All Japanese TV channels!

Though located at Shinsaibashi, this hotel is a bit away from the Eki. It takes around 10 min walking which is acceptable for such a high-standard hotel. I've been to more than 10 hotels in Japan and this is the BEST I've had. Having a fabulous and modern look from outside, its interior design is new and good too. Room is BIG comparing to the general standard of Japan, very big indeed in terms of this price. The room has a spectacular inside looking with everything newly equipped and decorated, especially this hotel has just 3 year-history. Being a business hotel the staff speaks quite fluent English which adds point to the hotel. If I go to Osaka again I MUST choose this hotel again. I strongly recommend this hotel to you all.

Headline says it all! Stayed in the Annex (instead of the main building) for 3 nights, and will definitely stay here again on future trips -- Brilliant Location : 8 mins walk to Dotonburi, 3 mins to Shinsaibashi Shopping Arcade, 2 mins walk from Shinsaibashi subway, spitting distance from AmericaMura....etc -- Clean & Safe : Sheets are a crisp white, toilets are modern & sparkling, amenities & towels included (the shower gel, shampoo & conditioner smell & feel great) -- Great Value : Considering you're in the heart of Shinsaibashi, rooms are small (11sqm) but Wi-Fi is free & fast, staff are friendly, efficient & helpful and the location is unbeatable.

We enjoyed our stay at the Chisun shinsaibashi hotel. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. The location made it easy for us to go around. The steps going down to the subway was just outside the hotel entrance. There is also an elevator if you have luggage with you. This is on the left side of the hotel entrance facing the hotel. The room and bathroom are very clean but they are also very small. Best to have small luggage with you. The hotel is in a safe area so you will feel safe walking around at night.

Ark Hotel Osaka Shinsaibashi is the best hotel among 3 hotels i stayed during my 14 days trip to Osaka, Kyoto & Tokyo. The staff is super friendly, polite & helpful. One of the staff has tried her best & never give up to help us to book the Kaiseki meal at Kyoto even she is not so fluent English speaking, i and my family really appreciated for the kind assistance. They have fluent English speaking staff as well, so there is no worries for English communication. Excellent service & environment. The room is spacious if compare to others hotel i stayed. Room is clean & tidy, the blanket is super duper comfort & soft. The Nagohoribashi Station exit 3 & 4 is just located at left & right of the hotel with just 1 min walking. So you have 2 choices for station exit. Hotel is nearby dining area. Definitely will stay again for next visit to Osaka. Great hotel.

after staying at many hotels in japan this was a fantastic experience. it's situated right on the doutonbori, in the heart of downtown osaka, close to the shinsaibashi shopping arcade. 5 mins walk to namba station(s) and a couple of minutes to shinsaibashi station if you want to see attractions such as osaka castle. the staff were very friendly and polite, able to speak some english, and could keep our bags when we arrived too early to check in. the hotel is very modern and flash, the room was a decent size, and the bed was very comfortable. it has a nice tv, complimentary water bottles, a hot water dispenser for tea (but no coffee!) and desk for working. we were so happy to see the 4(!) big oversized pillows, and the bathroom was big, clean and well stocked with complimentary products. i would definitely recommend this hotel and will be going back again soon!

As one of the best hotel with its perfect location in the heart of Shinsaibashi, Cross Hotel is always on the number 1 in our family list of chosen hotel whenever we frequent Osaka for season shopping, gourmet tripping and pleasure purposes. The smiling staff with their warm service always greet us in style. As we always arrive from a tiring foreign trip, the hotel makes sure that our rooms are ready to occupy and all our requests are readily meet, too. The soft bed and the big pillows are my favourite, as well as the big bath tub for a refreshing and relaxing dip.. The location of the hotel is perfect as it is just a few meters away from the famous Dotonbori Bridge and all the famous eateries, shinsaibashi shopping arcade and the kids favourite, Don Quijote where you can buy nice souvenirs, cosmetics, etc.. I will surely recommend this place to all my friends who wants to see Osaka!

LOCATION location location! great place to stay a stone's throw away from Dotonburi and shinsaibashi the whole place is vibrant and fun at night for me i enjoyed my stay here immensely. you can just walk out of the hotel and find lots of food choices! the staff were accommodating and when i asked for directions from the airport, they emailed back and gave us choices tip: kansai airport to here take the doton piston bus to doton plaza and its just a 5 min walk at most to the hotel. also make sure to get wireless wifi its super convenient and you will never get lost. plus download apps to help with the translation also make sure to bring enough cash. most of the restaurants we ate didnt accept credit card payments breakfast though for me was a downer. it was the same food everyday. mostly japanese cuisine i guess because mostly cater to local tourists? the view from the breakfast dining room was great be sure to arrive early to get the best spots.

Firstly, there are two New Osaka hotel - one in Shin-Osaka and one in Shinsaibashi. Both are VERY different. We checked into the wrong one at Shin-Osaka and it's very old and 6 subway stops from downtown area. So double check your booking and hotel location. The New Osaka Shinsaibashi branch itself is very conveniently located behind Hotel Nikko and only 5 mins walk to subway station and main street where you will find Gucci and Tiffany stores. The Shinsaibashi pedestrian mall is also 5 mins walk and you can spend a whole day walking along this mall and continue to the mega Namba shopping area and Namba underground mall area. Amenities are not bad, rooms are a bit small, room key is not card based, rather a physical key. Staff are very friendly. Nearby 5 mins walk is Starbucks for morning breakfast. Internet is free but only on LAN cables.

Hotel is located between Shinsaibashi Station and Nahaboribashi Station, both around 5 minutes on foot. Entrance right outside the hotel leads to you Crysta City, an underground shopping arcade which also leads you to both subway stations, so even a rainy day will not stop you from going anywhere. 3 minutes walk to Shinsaibashi Shopping Arcade, and about 10 minutes walk to Nihonbashi (if you don't want to take the subway for ¥120). Hotel is fairly new and very clean. Majority of the staff there speaks English so communication is not an issue. The included breakfast buffet is great although they serve almost the same food items even morning. As we all know, hotel rooms in Japan is usually small so don't expect u can lay your suitcases flat on the floor. Bathroom amentity uses Pola products, a well known brand in Japan. There are facial mask and other skincare products and even bath salt you can get from the lobby. I would definitely recommend this hotel based on its overall value.

This hotel had recently opened so everything was still sparkly clean. I've never stayed at this chain before, but have stayed at many competitors such as APA and Mystays. And I gotta admit that this particular UNIZO location had the best facilities of them all. It could be due to the layout, but the room felt more spacious than expected, and there was no shortage of amenities readily available in room. I was ok with less or having to go to the front desk as is the case with other hotels. The keycard controlled elevators is a nice touch for security as the card determines which floors the elevator goes to and prevents wanderers. The staff was fantastic and very helpful explaining things to make sure the stay was enjoyable. The location is as good as it is going to get for the namba/shinsaibashi area with the street it is on being relatively quiet and close to the subway station. Definitely among the best value you can get in the area.

The hotel is in a good location, at the end of Shinsaibashi shopping street, there are lawson and 7-11 nearby. Go out at Honmachi station exit 12 (stairs only) about 300 m or exit 7 (elevator and escalator) about 800 m. You can start shopping from here straight to Shinsaibashi and Dotonburi. The hotel room is same as standard room in japan, check in and check out process use machine.

The room rate is reasonable because it includes breakfast. The daily breakfast is also ok. The 7-11 convenience store is just beside the hotel, for other food options. The hotel is also beside a subway entry for the train. It is also about 600 to 800 meters to shinsaibashi-suji, a long stretch of shops where one could find H&M, uniqlo, sanrio, daiso, mcdonalds, etc.. The end of this stretch is the famous dotonbori where the popular Don Quijote and the Glico running man can be found. Some shops also offer different kitkat flavors and anello bags. Although the Anello building is just on the opposite side of the shinsaibashi-suji. Given the chance, I would still book at Sarasa. Plus, the staff are very polite and accommodating. Five stars for Sarasa Hotel Shinsaibashi!

Located a short walk from Exit No.7 of Shinsaibashi Station. Please do use the lift if you have luggage as there are many stairs. There is a 7-11 just right beside the hotel. Checkin and out with no hustle. There are free tea & coffee packs at the lobby. Breakfast is included & has mixture of Japanese & Western style which we never get bored. Room size is enough for us. One mid size luggage was placed under the dressing table and another big size luggage was placed on the floor for easy access to our stuffs. Bed is comfortable (between hard and soft). Toilet is ok for us. Toilet bowl is a small though for a man to sit. Room cleaning is provided each day upon request by sign magnet on the door. However, our sleep was disturbed on one night as some drunkies knock on our door mistakenly our room as their friend next door. Not to mention,the guest next door was also making noises in midnight. I hope they improved the sound proof. Overall, good location & really good breakfast.

We are a group of three visitors from Hong Kong travelling to Osaka in Mid May,2014, for nine nights. It's really hard to find out a specialised 3-people room in Osaka during this high season. Then, luckily we found Lions Rock through agoda. The first thing is that they offer a really nice late check-in service. Our flight arrived at Kansai Int'l Airport at 1a.m. then we arrived at the hotel at 2:30a.m. but the receptionists kindly welcomed us and quickly finished the check-in service. Though they do not have really high proficiency in English but their attitude was kind, sincere and they were very responsive and willing to help with anything for the check-in. I would also say the location was very accessible and convenient. It was located near Shinsaibashi Shopping Street, proximal to two subway stations (Yotsubashi Station and Shinsaibashi Station). It's also just a ten to fifteen minute walk to Namba Station, which can connect you to other cities in Kansai and the KIX airport. The nine-night stay was entirely pleasant with the efficient cleanup and very nice staff who would greet you whenever you bumped into them in corridors or inside the elevator. Some of you may fear that it's located in the precinct with strayers but I would say they will not cause any disturbance to you and the police station is also just a few streets from the hotel. It's entirely safe.

Stayed here for 3 nights in a twin bedroom. Location about 2 blocks away from shinsaibashi suji shopping street and daimaru. Cost 230 yen from Uemeda station to Shinsaibashi station using Midosuji subway line. Longer walk from Jr nanba if using JR pass. Check in was speedy. Staffs speak good English and explained well about the facilities available at the hotel. Love the hotel decor. Have a fireplace at the lobby. Room is compact but very functional. Love the bathroom especially the rain shower. Hair dryer is powerful - panasonic's top range. Had 2 days breakfast at the hotel. Food range is the same for both days. Love the chicken nuggets and fish tempura with tartare sauce. Wide variety in salads which includes black radish which I have not tried before. The pork stew in white wine is nice too. Taste like gyudon but pork. The only thing I didn't like about my stay was some inconsiderate guests that shouts and talks loudly along the corridor early in the morning, disturbing other guests who might still be sleeping.

Very good location, right in the area of American Village. 10-15 mins from Nankai Namba Station, 5-10 minutes to Dotonbori, 5 minutes to Shinsaibashi! Room is very small (like all other Japan accomodation) BUT the bed is sooooo comfy and the bathroom is very big and practical. LOVED the strong water pressure in the shower! Great place for a short rest from shopping/travelling around and also a good night's sleep :)
