Aguri Home Hayashiji
Staying at Aguri Home Hayashiji was a fantastic experience! The entire property is exceptionally clean, which made us feel comfortable and relaxed right from arrival. There's ample parking available—perfect for travelers driving to Osaka. The space is generous, giving kids plenty of room to move around without feeling cramped. While the ground floor doesn’t have air conditioning, the second and third floors are well-cooled, making it perfect for hot summer days. We were especially impressed with how quiet and peaceful the rooms were. Plus, the location is just steps away from the subway station, so getting around Osaka is super convenient. A great balance of comfort, cleanliness, and value—definitely a place I’d recommend and stay at again.
F・CROSS・EBISU
The room was incredibly spacious and comfortable—perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring Osaka. What really stood out was the separate, private areas for the bathroom, toilet, and laundry machine, which made everything feel clean, organized, and convenient. The location is excellent—just a short walk from the subway station, making it super easy to get around the city. I loved the thoughtful layout and the high level of comfort. This place offers amazing value and I’d definitely stay here again.
Hotel State Tennoji
The room was surprisingly spacious for Japan, making the stay incredibly comfortable. Just a 1.5-kilometer ride from the city center, it's incredibly convenient to get around by subway—perfect for exploring Osaka without hassle. The hotel itself is clean, well-maintained, and staff are friendly and helpful. It's a great balance of comfort, location, and value. Whether you're here for business or leisure, this is a solid choice that exceeds expectations.
NOYADO UEHONMACHI
Absolutely loved staying at this hotel! The location is perfect—just a short walk from the subway station and super close to downtown Osaka. Both rooms were spacious, well-designed, and had a great flow. I especially appreciated having a closet and a washing machine in the room—so convenient for longer stays or when you don’t want to carry laundry around. The beds were comfy, the room was quiet, and the staff were friendly and helpful. It’s rare to find such a clean, practical, and welcoming place with such a great vibe. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Osaka who wants comfort without the hassle. Would definitely stay here again.
Laforet Dotonbori
Staying in the family suite was a great choice—location-wise, it's unbeatable. Just a 5-minute walk to the nearest subway station, a convenience store right around the corner (literally 1 minute away), and a 24-hour supermarket within a 5-minute stroll. Everything you need is super accessible. The only minor downside is that getting to Dotonbori takes about 10 minutes on foot, but considering how well-located the hotel is overall, it’s a small trade-off. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable—perfect for families or travelers looking for both comfort and convenience. Highly recommend this place if you want to be close to everything without the hassle of long commutes.
Dotonbori ROYAL
Staying at Dotonbori ROYAL was a great experience overall. The location is fantastic—just a short walk from Shinsaibashi and Namba, with easy access to local markets like Kuromon Ichiba. The room comes with basic kitchenware—a small pot, a few cups, and four bowls—which is more than enough for simple meals or snacks. That said, there were a few drawbacks: no hot water during showers, limited space (only two suitcases allowed), a slightly noisy refrigerator, and the air conditioning didn’t cool down effectively. These issues could definitely be improved with minor upgrades. Still, the price-to-quality ratio is strong, especially for travelers looking to explore Osaka on a budget. If you're after convenience, central access, and a cozy base, this place is worth considering.
Okini Hotel Namba
Staying at Okini Hotel Namba was a fantastic experience! The room was spacious and well-designed with two beds, a private bathroom, a balcony, and even a mini-fridge—perfect for storing drinks or snacks. I loved having that little extra space to relax and enjoy the view. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Namba Station, close to shopping areas like Shinsaibashi, and surrounded by great local eateries. The staff were friendly and helpful, offering useful tips on nearby attractions and transportation options. Everything about this hotel felt thoughtfully put together—clean, modern, and super convenient. For the price, it’s an absolute steal. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Osaka.
Lite House Dotonbori
I stayed at Lite House Dotonbori and overall, it was a solid experience. The room was spacious with plenty of cupboard space for clothes and personal items—very practical. Cleanliness was excellent; the room felt fresh and well-maintained. The bed was comfortable enough, though I noticed there were no extra pillows available. A few small drawbacks stood out: the hotel’s name isn’t displayed on the building, so it looked just like a regular apartment complex, making it confusing to find. The map provided by the platform led me to another location with the same name, which is still under construction—big mistake. Nighttime noise was quite disruptive, especially when motorcycles revved loudly down the street early in the morning. It felt unnecessarily loud and disrespectful. Also, there were no charging outlets near the bed, and no USB ports—something I’d expect in a modern budget stay. Despite these minor issues, the location is unbeatable, the staff were friendly, and the value for money is strong. I’d definitely consider staying here again.
Rewit Building
My stay at this property was disappointing overall. The bathroom shower curtain was heavily stained with water marks, making it look unhygienic. The knives and scissors felt dirty—so much so that I didn’t dare use them. The balcony was also in poor condition, littered with cigarette butts and clearly not cleaned. The worst part? The fridge had a terrible odor, like something had been left in there for days—so strong that when I put in some strawberries, they came out smelling awful and I couldn’t even eat them. It’s not just the smell; it’s the lack of basic maintenance. The only redeeming feature was the tatami mat room, which added a bit of charm. Unfortunately, the cleanliness issues and overall upkeep make this a hard recommendation. Not worth the price, and definitely not something I’d book again.
Doutonbori Crystal Hotel
This was my first stay at the Doutonbori Crystal Hotel, and I have to say it exceeded all my expectations. The room was immaculately clean and well-maintained, with a modern touch that made the space feel both cozy and spacious. Located just a short walk from Dotonbori, I had easy access to some of Osaka’s best street food, vibrant nightlife, and great shopping spots—perfect for an authentic local experience. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall vibe of the hotel felt warm and welcoming. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Osaka, especially those who want to be right in the heart of the action.
Candeo Hotels Osaka The Tower
The overall experience was excellent! The only minor downside was the bed, which felt a bit firm for my taste, but everything else exceeded my expectations. The on-site hot spring baths were a real highlight—I visited almost every day and found them incredibly relaxing after long days of exploring. The location is fantastic—just a 7-8 minute walk from the subway station, with a convenience store right downstairs for all your essentials. Within a 10-minute stroll, you’ll find plenty of dining options, from casual eats to local favorites. It’s such a convenient and comfortable base for exploring Osaka. With great amenities, easy access, and a cozy atmosphere, this hotel offers incredible value. I’d definitely stay here again on my next trip!
CUVÉE J2 HOTEL OSAKA by Onko Chishin
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.
