This was my least favorite stay in Japan. The room was manageable in size but then the washroom was even smaller. It felt like we were in a trailer when taking a shower. The staff were wonderful though and very friendly and helpful. There were lots of restaurants around the area and within walking distance. There’s a laundromat and 7-11 around the corner so very convenient otherwise.

Good enough for single night stay

This hotel is one of the few that has triple rooms. However, according to the hotel, all triple rooms are smoking rooms. We were fortunate to have a room with a window, so we could open the window to air the room even though it was rather cold. The location which is near Dontonbori, is very convenient but the walls of the room must be really thin as I could hear the singing and talking noises from the next room and was kept awake till around 2 a.m.

Nice size room but the toilet stinks.

The location of the hotel is great. Next to one of the best shopping area in Osaka. The size of the room is big by Japan standard. But the bathroom is one of the worst I've been in. A bad smell emanated from the floor drain. Tried covering it with a towel, but the smell was too strong. The location of the toilet bowl was so close to one side of the wall that I had to sit side ways. The handicap handles in the bath tub protruded out of the wall so much that couple times when I reached for the soap I hit my head on it. Wanted to get out of the room as fast as I could the following morning.

Our hotel was centrally located such that you could make trips to all the major tourist areas with ease.

I assume like most rooms in Japan the rooms are small, with the bathroom being the size of 5' by 4'. our bed was a little springy but overall it was okay. We spent most of our time in and around the city and not so much time in the hotel.

Nice hotel with friendly staff

The hotel is not in the best condition but everything works well and is clean. Staff are friendly and can speak English though not very well. The only sad thing is that I requested for an additional pillow and they said No. I stayed there for 6 nights and I would think they will try to accommodate but they didn't. The one thing that I really like was the shower sponge which they provided free of charge at the counter. The location of the hotel is very close to Dotonburi which of course is excellent.

Excellently located but budget property

Located just a couple minutes walk from Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi Districts this hotel is in a prime location. Namba subway, Nankai Namba and JR Namba stations are all within a close walk.

Then only let down was the room. It's old and very tired. The bathroom had a really dirty floor and mould on the shower curtain and walls. The bed and pillow were rock hard. I couldn't get the air conditioning to work so it was hot and stifling in the room.

I don't understand why you have to keep handing the room key when you leave. This is a bit annoying.

All in all this is a budget option. The room had a kettle and a mini-fridge. It was clean and quiet. I guess it's the price to pay for location.

Pretty nice hotel. The location is amazing. The Namba subway stop is super close by and all of Osaka is easily accessible because of that. All the rooms in the hotel are smoking type, and the amount it smells like smoke is variable (mine was fine, but one of my friends' rooms smelled of smoke). It is also a little hard to find if you don't have google maps or a gps on you.

We were welcomed well and the accommodation was cheap.

The room was dirty however. Mold on the walls, stains on the bed sheets and a weird smell throughout our floor and even in our room. From the outside this place looks great. Once you get up to your floor, it really is something else.

It resembles more closely to a pack packers than a hotel.

The room is clean but the bathroom is really small and there's no power outlet in the bathroom for hair dryer. The front desk people are very friendly although they speak limited English.

Budget hotel near Dotonbori

If you want a hotel that is near Dotonbori, near a train station and is a budget hotel, this can be one of your choices.

This is a few blocks away from the Glico Man, so it is pretty easy to go back to your place if you need to rest or drop off the stuff you bought from the different nearby stores.

The hotel interior felt pretty old but it was well maintained. This hotel offered 2 complimentary bottles of water. Our Tokyo hotel didnt, so this is a plus. Surprisingly the room was big too. So no problem opening your luggage.

Be prepared to leave your room keys when leaving the hotel though. Not sure why they have this policy but it's no big deal.

The people on the front desk were very helpful and it is easy to converse with them in english.

Get what you pay for.

It did it's job, of being a clean place to sleep. Not too roomy, but that's to be expected in Japan. Fine to find as long as you have a map. Make sure to ask for an extra blanket in winter time. I made the mistake of waiting till I was already in bed, before calling the front desk, only to realise that the staff members that spoke English were off duty during the night shift, and I didn't know the word for blanket, so I gave up on asking for one and just threw my winter jacket on top of the sheets. Enjoyed the tub after walking around all day, and the staff were nice enough to hold my luggage for a bit after I checked out (again- English speaking staff there in the daytime) For the price, it was pretty good. Nice and close to Dontonburi.

Excellent hotel close to the city

I loved the hotel! I went to Japan by myself and this hotel was definitely suited to my needs. The staff were extremely helpful and bent over backwards(not literally) to help me. The hotel itself is very presentable and the room was extremely comfortable.
The hotel is also a 5 minute walk away from the Namba underground and train station, so it's extremely convenient to get to, if you're in the mood for travel.
Similarly, the hotel is a 5 minute walk away from the gorgeous Dontounburi and Shinsaibashi area. Once again, it's extremely convenient if you decide to do some souveneir shopping.

The room, although not that fantastic looking, is very clean and has all the essentials that one needs ^_^*.
