Traditional inside the crowded modern area”
i would never imagine that theres a good and quiet and good hotel in Dotonburi area, so the Hotel is located on the side of river on Dotonbori, you only have to cross the street to get all of the modern activity of Dotonburi (side seeing, hangout, shopping, eating, clubbing). i say the hotel is well facilitated, we choose this hotel to get a traditional experience of sleeping on the tatami floor, and bathing in the ryokan and feel the traditional Japanese room, and Yamatoya Honten provide it all. We're greeted with a warm towel and hot green tea at the lobby, sitting there with a beautiful few of the river, the lobby is not extravagant, but you can find Zen there, cosy and quiet, the staff is very helpful. The room we good is very nice, clean traditional looking room, very cosy and quiet, theres a bottle of water provided there, snacks, heater, hairdryer, fridge, toilet, tv, sink, they even provide yukata for us to use.

Ryokan experience in downtown osaka”
Everything was comfortable. I only wish the hotel would ask our preferred timing to set or leave the futons, but still clean the room. The bathtubs could be better cleaned daily. The ryokan rooms may need better insulation to provide better humidity levels for the guests. The small room where the closet (to keep the futons) and the minibar has carpet which may need a change. Perhaps install modern bamboo mats or another version of tatami or whatever. The hotel could also provide practical hanging places for our coats or clothes in this small room. We've been to other traditional japanese rooms before, and find that the hotel room at Yamatoya Honten could be more practically designed.

Excellent and affordable Japanese-style room”
It was our first night in Osaka, so we were all excited about staying in a ryokan, and Yamataya Honten fulfilled our expectations. I was a little doubtful about sleeping with just one pillow, but the futon and pillow were surprisingly so comfortable to lie on, I had a very good sleep indeed. The room was spacious, and I especially enjoyed the complimentary green tea and Japanese sweets. Front desk personnel were very thorough and helpful at all times, from assisting with our luggages to helping us with maps and recommendations.

Thank you very much for the wonderful review and glad you like the location. We look forward welcoming you back to Yamatoya Honten Osaka, hopefully in a not too distant future.
Perfect location for Osaka travellers”
Highly recommendable for Osaka travellers. Hotel is located literally right next to Dotombori food street and relatively near most of Osaka's prime shopping districts such as Shinsaibashi. Nearest train station is also a few minutes away. Staff were very accomodating and the room itself provided an authentic Japanese house feel. The public bath is also lovely, perfect for my first onsen experience.

Best place to stay in Osaka!”
My friends and I had the most wonderful stay at this perfectly located ryokan. The locationw as what really drove us to choose this place, as the Dotonbori markets are literally a stone's throw away, but we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the accommodation and service provided at this modest establishment. The staff were very polite and friendly, the Japanese breakfast was a delight and totally worth the cost, and the Onsen provided much needed relief at the end of our busy touristy days. The rooms are spotless, and the river view from the 7th floor was also a great start to our mornings. We have decided to never stay anywhere else if (when) we return to Osaka. What a great experience!

Exceptional”
Lovely traditional Ryokan, located in perfect place, right in the centre of Osaka, walking distance to the main sights. This was perfect, lively neighbourhood. A great experience and lovely and attentive staff. Only issue was no bathroom (just a toilet and a sink) in our room and showers were located in an onsen which was obviously shared with other guests so this might be a bit uncomfortable for some - otherwise great experience and great staff.

typical expectation of price paid vs hotel quality”
This is a Yamato traditional style onsen hotel with Japanese looking rooms. Their price is affordable if compare to price of other traditional style ryokan hotels, as this hotel is aging. We don't really mind that so it worth the price especially it is just immediate outskirt of Dotonbori, very convenient. Hotel staff are English spoken, convenient for those who completely not understood Japanese language. One fallback is they don't provide water kettle, although they do offer to fill up hot water bottle in the room just by making call to reception. They provide yukata for wear to free onsen in the hotel so it is kind of fun. Overall this hotel worth the price we paid.

Best Reasonable Ryokan Experience!”
Very pleasing! The room is spacious and gives a very authentic japanese experience. Hotel is easy to find and the Dotonburi street is just 3 mins away!!! Our stay even includes a free kimono/yukata costume rental. I really love this Ryokan. But you have to request for hot drinking water every time and although they can understand and speak english it is still a little bit difficult to converse with them. Overall the stay was fantastic!

A spacious and warm hotel”
Yamatoya staffs were generally kind and it was quite spacious for one person. Bathroom was quite small, but it was okay as I enjoyed the public bathroom. It's quite close to the station. Public bathroom and yukata were not as cool as other ryokan-like hotels although they were still fine. A bit old building and no wi-fi in rooms were a bit uncomfortable.

Touch of ryokan in a good location”
Ryokan style rooms are clean and comfortable, if a little spartan. Hot water and tea is a nice touch. Hotel staff are very friendly and speak some English. Recommend trying the hotel Japanese breakfast one morning if you can afford it (about 1500 yen) it's exquisite and delicious. Lobby wifi works well but a little bit of process to login - in room LAN would be easier.

Convenient and comfortable”
The hotel is located 2 min away from Dotombori Street. It is a little inconvenient to reach from the Shin-Osaka station (I had to switch trains twice, I think) but it takes not more than 45 min to reach the hotel. The staff is friendly. The room is a little old, but clean. The staff will set up your futon when you are away in the afternoon. The bedding is comfortable and clean. I would choose this hotel again if I were to return to Osaka!
