Staying at Miyako City Osaka Hommachi was a great experience overall. The room is a bit compact—my 24-inch suitcase had to be opened in the hallway or by the door, which was a little tricky—but it’s still functional for short stays.

The style of this hotel is really unique and totally my vibe—definitely a standout! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making the check-in experience warm and welcoming. That said, the location is a bit tricky to find—it’s tucked away in a small building with an unobtrusive entrance, so you might need to do a little exploring to locate it. Still, once you’re inside, it feels like a hidden gem. I was happy to get a complimentary drink upon arrival—a nice touch! The champagne in-room is paid, but that’s expected. One downside: the on-site omakase dinner was disappointing—way too bland and not worth the price. I’d skip it if I were you. Overall, though, everything else hit the mark—the ambiance, design, cleanliness, and service were all excellent. It’s definitely a place I’d stay again, especially for travelers who appreciate character and charm over cookie-cutter hotels.
