This was my first trip to Osaka, and I chose this hotel specifically because I wanted to explore some of the quieter, more local neighborhoods. It’s just a 20-minute walk from Osaka Station, which made getting there very easy, and the free shuttle bus service was a game-changer—perfect for heading out early or returning late without hassle. I booked a twin room, and it quickly became clear why so many locals and travelers keep coming back. This is one of those well-known, reliable hotels in Japan that truly delivers on comfort and value. The room was surprisingly spacious—my luggage could be fully unpacked without feeling cramped, and everything felt clean and thoughtfully laid out. Breakfast was included, and it was a real highlight: a wide variety of options from traditional Japanese rice balls to fresh bread and pastries, all available right in the room via the TV ordering system. No need to queue or rush—just relax and enjoy your meal in peace. From start to finish, the experience was seamless. If you're planning a trip to Osaka and want a cozy, convenient base with great transport links and a homey feel, this is definitely one to book ahead. I’d absolutely stay here again—and highly recommend it to anyone who loves exploring off-the-beaten-path spots.

I was thoroughly impressed with my stay at Toyoko Inn Osaka Honmachi No.2. The room was compact but well-designed, with all the essentials and a surprisingly quiet environment—despite being right across from the elevator, I didn’t hear any noise from the hallway or elevator movements thanks to excellent soundproofing. The location is fantastic: just steps away from restaurants, convenience stores, and public transit, making it easy to explore downtown Osaka. I even left behind a power bank when checking out, and the staff reached out the next day to let me know—though I’d already left Japan, they were still willing to help arrange its return. That kind of thoughtful service really stood out. Overall, this was a comfortable, hassle-free, and memorable stay. If I ever return to Osaka, I’ll definitely choose this hotel again.

I’ve stayed at many chain hotels, but this one truly stood out. While the location isn’t ideal—being on the Hankyu line means transferring to the subway for most trips, which adds up to at least 820 yen per day in transit costs, double what it would be staying near a subway line—the overall experience was excellent. The breakfast was exceptional: abundant, fresh, and delicious, with a variety of options that felt genuinely thoughtfully curated. The room itself is significantly larger than typical chain hotel rooms, offering much more space and comfort. If your main activities are centered around the city center, you might want to consider a hotel closer to a subway station. But if you value spacious accommodations, great breakfast, and solid value for money, this one is definitely worth a try—definitely a place I’d stay again.

Staying at Toyoko Inn Shin-Osaka Higashi-Mikuni Ekimae was a great experience overall. The room was surprisingly spacious for a business hotel—plenty of room to move around and feel comfortable. What stood out was the daily towel and trash replacement, plus the bed was neatly made each morning—small touches that really make a difference. The smart toilet and full-sized bathtub were major perks, especially after a long day of exploring Osaka. On the ground floor, you can freely take complimentary toiletries and sleepwear—super convenient if you forget anything. Breakfast was a highlight: free buffet with decent quality food, though it gets busy so arriving early is recommended. You can also watch local TV channels, and there’s an optional subscription service for additional content. Located just steps from the station, getting around Osaka is super easy. Excellent value, clean, and well-organized—definitely would stay here again.

Staying at Toyoko Inn Osaka Semba Higashi was a great experience, especially for solo travelers like me. The room was spacious and much more comfortable than capsule-style accommodations—no cramped feeling at all. Location-wise, it’s incredibly convenient; just a short walk to Namba and Shinsaibashi, with plenty of restaurants and convenience stores nearby. I really appreciated the self-check-in and check-out system—no language barriers whatsoever, even if you don’t speak Japanese or English. Breakfast was a highlight too: fresh coffee, tea, juice, and a good variety of options. I didn’t care for the natto on one day, but the miso soup was excellent—rich, flavorful, and comforting. Overall, the value for money is outstanding, and I’d definitely stay here again.

Staying at Toyoko Inn Osaka Umeda Higashi was a great experience overall. The facilities are well-equipped, and check-in was quick and hassle-free. The room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable, with excellent hygiene standards. Location-wise, it's perfect—right in the heart of Umeda, surrounded by tons of restaurants and shops. Getting around via subway is super convenient, making it easy to explore downtown Osaka and nearby attractions. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, and the breakfast spread was surprisingly good for a budget-friendly hotel. The only downside? The Wi-Fi dropped suddenly around 11 PM, which was frustrating, especially when trying to stream or check messages. It’s a minor issue, but definitely something worth improving. Despite that, the value for money is excellent, and I’d happily stay here again without hesitation.

Staying at Toyoko Inn Osaka Tenjinbashi-Suji Rokuchome was a great experience. The hotel is only four years old, so everything feels fresh and well-maintained—no signs of wear and tear at all. Cleanliness is top-notch, as expected from Japanese standards; every corner felt spotless, which really stood out. Location-wise, it’s perfectly situated in the heart of the city. Just 200 meters from the subway entrance, you can easily access major attractions. Right outside the station is a long street packed with shops and food stalls—kind of like an open-air market, very lively and fun to explore. Within 500 meters, you’ll find one of Osaka’s most beautiful rivers, perfect for a relaxing walk. And if you keep going another 4 kilometers, you’ll reach Osaka Castle—great for a scenic stroll with plenty of stops along the way. The staff were a highlight too—there was a young Chinese-speaking guy at the front desk who’s lived in Japan for 15 years. He was warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful, making check-in and check-out smooth and pleasant. Breakfast was simple but satisfying—basic and budget-friendly, ideal for travelers looking for something quick and no-frills.

Staying at Toyoko Inn Osaka Kyobashi Sakuranomiya was a pleasant surprise, especially since I got upgraded to a larger room on my last night in Tokyo—something I didn’t expect. The extra space and the sofa bed made it perfect for families traveling with kids. Located right in the heart of central Osaka, the hotel is just steps away from two subway stations and two convenience stores—making getting around super easy. I usually pick up snacks from the nearby 7-Eleven the night before, stash them in the fridge, then enjoy breakfast with a drink from the free beverage station on the first floor. It’s such a convenient little touch. The room itself was spotless, well-maintained, and felt airy despite being in a busy city area. While the larger room comes at a higher rate, the comfort and extra space make it worth every penny. Plus, having Chinese-speaking staff on-site added a nice layer of ease. Overall, this was a great stay—ideal for travelers looking for comfort, cleanliness, and smart location.

This hotel is an absolute hidden gem in Osaka! I stayed here for five consecutive nights with my son, and every moment was fantastic.

Breakfast was outstanding—plenty of options including fish, meat, little meatballs, ham, rice, noodles, bread, and fresh juice. I left full and happy every morning. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive; when I forgot my key card while heading down for breakfast, they instantly gave me a replacement without any hassle. They also checked in with me about cleaning needs—so thoughtful and personalized.

There are plenty of convenience stores and supermarkets nearby—super handy for late-night snacks or essentials. The entire building felt clean and well-maintained, with zero unpleasant odors.

Staying at Toyoko Inn Osaka JR Noda Ekimae was a great experience overall. The room was spotlessly clean and well-maintained, with a peaceful atmosphere that made it perfect for a good night's rest. Breakfast was refreshed with younger staff, which changed the vibe a bit from the familiar warmth of the older team—though the food itself was still delicious, especially the hot soup and rice dishes. The free coffee remains a highlight, consistently strong and satisfying. My only minor disappointment was the removal of the lobby computer, so I’ll need to bring my own laptop next time for work-related tasks.
