Staying at Holiday Pearl Hotel was an absolute delight! The room was surprisingly spacious—much larger than most Japanese hotels I've stayed in. I could easily unpack two suitcases without feeling cramped, which made the whole experience so much more comfortable. Right across from the hotel is a large supermarket with everything you'd need—bento boxes, beer, fresh produce, and more. It's perfect for grabbing dinner supplies or even enjoying a quiet drink after a long day. Just a 5-minute walk away is a 7-Eleven, so convenience is never an issue. The nearby Japanese-style shopping street adds a real local charm—great for strolling around and soaking in the authentic atmosphere of everyday life in Osaka. The front desk staff were incredibly helpful and spoke fluent Chinese, making communication seamless and stress-free. The room itself was clean, well-maintained, and came with all the essentials like toiletries. Overall cleanliness was top-notch. And at night? So peaceful—so quiet that you can almost hear the silence. Perfect for a restful sleep. This place offers amazing value for money, and I’d definitely book here again.

Villa de Class was absolutely perfect for our family stay in Osaka. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the spacious and well-maintained villa—clean, modern, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. Having a private kitchen made meal prep easy and convenient, especially with kids in tow. The location is ideal: just a short walk from the subway station, making it super easy to explore downtown Osaka and nearby attractions. We appreciated the quiet neighborhood, yet still within reach of everything. The whole experience felt like a home away from home. With great value, comfort, and convenience, this was definitely one of our best trips. I’d highly recommend it to any family looking for a relaxing, stress-free getaway in Osaka.

Absolutely perfect! This spacious, spotless, and incredibly comfortable apartment is a top-tier choice for any traveler. The location is ideal—just steps away from subway lines that connect you to all major attractions in Osaka without needing transfers. Around the building, you'll find everything you need: convenience stores, local eateries, and shops. The self-check-in feature was a game-changer—it gave us full flexibility and peace of mind. From the clean, well-designed space to the excellent amenities, every detail exceeded expectations. It’s not just a place to stay; it’s a home away from home. Highly recommend this property for solo travelers, couples, or families looking for comfort, convenience, and value. 10/10 without hesitation.

Staying at Porta Inn Bentencho in Osaka was a great experience overall. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the Expo site, and public transportation is super convenient for exploring the city. One thing I noticed was the air conditioning unit facing the window, which I hadn’t seen before in Japan—it’s a bit unusual but effective for cooling down the room during summer nights. Cleanliness was good; the room felt fresh and well-maintained, with clean linens and tidy surfaces. Breakfast was decent, though it ran out of onigiri after 8:30 AM, and they didn’t offer any replacements later. Also, the yogurt drinks were missing for two consecutive days—something to improve. Still, considering the price and location, this hotel offers excellent value, especially for visitors attending the Expo or looking for a budget-friendly stay in central Osaka. I’d definitely recommend it.

Just a 7-minute walk from Universal Studios Osaka, this hostel is incredibly convenient for both the park and nearby subway stations. I arrived late at night and felt completely safe despite the dim lighting in the common areas—no worries at all. The front desk staff were so welcoming and helpful, making my check-in smooth and stress-free. The cleanliness here is outstanding—every corner feels fresh and well-maintained. It’s quiet and peaceful with few guests, giving you plenty of privacy. What really stood out was the private makeup room—such a thoughtful touch! The ground floor lounge is spacious and cozy, perfect for relaxing or having a meal, and there’s even a fridge available. Honestly, this place blew away my expectations. As someone who’d never stayed in a hostel before, I was nervous about what to expect, but this experience was far better than any hotel I’ve stayed in Tokyo. The value for money is unbeatable. This isn’t just a hostel—it feels like a friendly, well-organized home away from home. 10/10 without hesitation.

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.

The location is excellent—just a short subway ride from downtown Osaka. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-designed, making it a great base for exploring the city. However, there’s one issue: sound from the second floor carries into the first-floor bedroom, which can be noticeable during quiet hours, especially when trying to sleep. It’s not a dealbreaker, but improving soundproofing would make the experience even better. Overall, the stay was very pleasant, and the value for money is outstanding. I’d definitely return.

The owner was incredibly welcoming and made the check-in process so much easier despite the language barrier—his warmth really stood out. The room was spotless, with daily cleaning and fresh bed-making every morning. I appreciated how attentive they were to small details. Breakfast was simple but thoughtful: fresh bread slices, a small bowl of crisp vegetables, and a juicy orange each day—especially nice in Japan where fresh produce can be pricey. It felt like a little health boost! Towels were changed daily, which is always a plus. The whole building has this charming old Shanghai-inspired design—unique and full of character. It’s not a huge hotel, so it doesn’t compare to international chains in size or luxury, but that’s part of its charm. Plus, it’s just a 3-4 minute walk to the station (follow the map in photo 1), making it super convenient for visiting Universal Studios. In the Nishinomiya area, this place offers great value and location. If you're looking for a cozy, authentic stay close to major attractions without the crowds or high prices, this is definitely worth considering.

Staying at Bijou Suites Lieto APM was a delightful experience. The room was spotless and well-maintained, with the added convenience of an in-room washing machine and complimentary laundry pods—perfect for longer stays. The self-contained kitchen is great for preparing meals, but honestly, you won’t want to cook when just next door is Risolla, a standout restaurant offering incredible Japanese-Italian fusion cuisine. The food is fresh, beautifully presented, and priced fairly. Clean, vibrant atmosphere and exceptional service make it a must-visit—definitely plan at least one meal there during your stay.

Staying at Japan Sessions Kanzaki 01 was an absolute delight. The hotel was spotlessly clean and the rooms felt incredibly comfortable—like a cozy retreat after a busy day exploring Osaka. What really stood out was the location: just a short walk from the train station, making it super easy to reach major attractions, shopping areas, and dining spots. I loved how close it was to local cafes and convenience stores, perfect for grabbing a quick bite or essentials late at night. The staff were friendly, the vibe was calm, and everything felt thoughtfully designed. If you're looking for a peaceful yet well-connected base in Osaka, this place is a must-try.

I completely forgot to take photos of the hotel exterior, so I’ll just share a picture of the breakfast instead! Toyoko Inn Osaka Bentencho might be small, but it’s surprisingly well-equipped and incredibly clean—exactly what you want after a long day. The real highlight? Its proximity to Osaka Dome. After a concert, you can walk straight back without needing to squeeze onto crowded subway trains. The staff are friendly and helpful, making check-in and any requests super smooth. The breakfast buffet is simple but delicious—great variety for a budget-friendly stay. There’s even a 7-Eleven right around the corner, perfect for late-night snacks or essentials. Location-wise, it’s unbeatable. If I’m ever back in Osaka for another concert, this will definitely be my go-to hotel. Highly recommend for travelers who value convenience, cleanliness, and a great vibe.

Staying at this property was an absolute delight! The location is unbeatable—right next to Kujo Station, with a ramen shop right outside the door and a lively shopping street just steps away. It’s only about a 10-minute walk to the Osaka Dome, making it perfect for concert-goers who want convenience and peace of mind. The room itself was spotless, comfortable, and well-designed, offering great value for money. What really stood out was the host’s detailed email instructions in both Chinese and English, complete with clear visuals that made check-in seamless and stress-free. Every little detail shows thoughtfulness. Highly recommend this gem if you're visiting Osaka—especially if you’re planning to catch a show!
