This is a luxury stay in a nice neighborhood. Although it’s not in the center of the most popular spots, it’s nice to get away and be more local. Our favorite bar and restaurant in our two week Japan trip were a result of staying at Merbabu. Some of the functions of the lighting and tub were difficult because the instructions were not clear, but other than that, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

The hotel was nice and had a good location. I loved that there was a washing machine.

It would have been nice if there were dishes or pots/pans to actually use the provided stove and microwave. Also, the light sensors were really annoying because of how sensitive they were. Just turning in your bed would cause the lights to turn on.

Otherwise, the room was comfortable.

Small but comfortable even for a family of 4. My only issue was the lights on a sensor so if you get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, the hallway lights come on possibly waking up thise still sleeping. The room was well equipped with a large refrigerator, freezer, clothes washer and even a stove. Checkin was all by kiosk as was check out, no staff was there but we didnt need them. Not really sure what would happen if you have an issue and need to contact management, but luckily we did not have that issue. Great stay overall! By the way, try the Udon place next door. He doeant open until 11am but the udon was excellent!

The room we stayed was triple sharing and the three single bed are comfortable. The room is very clean the interior is brand new. The best is having a washing machine in the shower room where we can wash our clothes conveniently and able to dry all our clothes in the shower area where's warmer/dryer function for the whole shower room. The hotel is also prompt in response when we request certain things through email, even though there is no physical front desk. Is within walking distance to subway and many restaurants around the hotel area to explore. We even walk to Osaka Castle and stop along many cafe and shops on the way. Highly recommend.

You cannot go wrong with this wonderful apartment. It is large even by Australian standards. It had very comfortable beds and a seperate toilet and bathroom so both could be used at the same time. There is no front desk but this is not an issue. Check in is via touch screen in the foyer and was very easy. Location is wonderful- safe and I think a classy part of Osaka. Transport options are about a 7 min walk and the hustle and bustle of Osaka is approximately about 5 minutes train or 20 minute walk. I would highly recommend this hotel ( ps- the bakery on the corner make the most incredible croissants and bagels!!) I wish all my hotels in Japan were like this!

The hotel is located in a business district, with several nearby restaurants that stay open late. Check-in is fully self-service through a machine, as there’s no front desk staff, which was straightforward and quick.

The triple-bed room was a bit snug—opening three suitcases at once left little room to move around. However, the room was equipped with a washer and a drying function in the bathroom, which made laundry easy and convenient during our stay.

Best stay on our trip

My family loved our stay at MERBABU. We kept comparing it to all other hotel stays during the trip. When you first get there, you simply check in at a kiosk. We loved the projector and the light functions. The stove and washing machine were a plus! You can control things with the Alexa they have there. It was so close to the subway/train systems. Walking distance to restaurants and konbinis too! They offer great amenities everyday. Def staying there again for our next trip.

Overall our stay here was great, even though it did start with a hiccup. After an easy self check in, we went up to our room to find very dirty sheets on the bed. Luckily, the staff working were at the hotel and we were able to show them. They were very apologetic, and found us a different room for our stay. The new room was perfectly clean, and the high tech amenities were awesome. This hotel is in a quieter neighbourhood but is near multiple subway stations, and has tons of great restaurants amd shopping near it. Osaka was the tail end of our trip so the in room laundry was greatly appreciated. Overall we had a wonderful stay at the Merbabu Stay.

This is our third trip to Osaka this year, and we are a bit disappointed with our hotel. I must say the hotel is not very bad, but I can see many things that can be improved.

Things are not good:

1. You must check in the room BEFORE 11pm. If you are not sure about your flight will be landed on time or you don't reserve sufficient time to go there, you will not be available to get your room and you probably will need to find an alternative hotel to stay. To be fair, the hotel will send you a reminder one or two days before check-in.

2. I found blood on my bed cover. I don't know who I can talk to. I've stayed in similar hotels in Osaka, and I thought I could talk to one of the staff via the video system in the lobby. In the end, my thought was wrong, and nobody could solve the problem.

3. I also found two ignoring flies in my room. I killed them at the end (sorry...) and I don't think this is what I would expected to see in a hotel room in Japan.

4. This is an apartment-style hotel, and the room has an electronic hob. We didn't plan to cook anything, but you need to know that there is no kitchenware, even chopsticks and cups (they do provide 3 paper cups), in the room.

5. Based on what I can see, the hotel only has limited space for luggage storage (maybe around 6 pieces of big luggage).

6. The kitchen light and toilet light are automatic with a sensor, so when you go to the toilet while your family members are sleeping, the light will turn on. That's quite ignoring.

I would recommend Merbabu to anyone staying in Osaka. It was such a cute little room. After travelling for a few weeks I was so happy to be in an immaculately clean space. The little bathroom was perfect. (And yes, the room is small but the space is used really well.) The street was quiet, but with lots of restaurants/coffee/bakeries around.

I like thats its clean and big space! Quiet area and accessible to everything. What i didnt like is theres no free bottled water at all. Its apartment hotel so they should at least provide kitchen utensils and stuff to use as mostly stayed there are tourist. Washer is not working and theres no english instruction they should at least stick short instructions in english to be more helpful! Theres no human that will help or someone you can ask if theres problem! everything is self service !

A clean and nice place to stay in Osaka. But Its kind of annoying as the lights turn off every minute in the room. Also difficult to find staff when needed.
