Homestays σε Osaka Prefecture, Japan

"🚎 Commute: Just a 1-minute walk from Ebisucho Station Exit 3 to the hotel! Super convenient! Dotonbori is only two subway stops away, or about a 25-minute walk. Hygiene: I was personally very satisfied, although the air conditioning had a strange smell for the last two days, not sure why. Housekeeping: They bring fresh towels and bottled water every day! Thumbs up! Honestly, I don't use that many towels, haha. They also clean the room and make the bed on the second day of your stay. Bathroom: It's quite compact, but the shower pressure is excellent, making for a refreshing wash. Taller or larger guests might find it a bit inconvenient. 🤓 In summary: The best choice for solo travelers! If I come to Osaka again, I'd recommend staying at this hotel. It's also very quiet at night; I was worried it might be noisy, but it wasn't at all. The guests in the neighboring rooms were all very considerate. 😇 🥹🥹 A wonderful trip to Osaka!"

"This hotel was the highlight of our trip to Osaka! I had been worried about the typical small Japanese hotel rooms, but I was so pleasantly surprised when we checked in. The room was incredibly spacious, and our family of four never felt cramped. What really stood out was having two toilets and two showers, which meant everyone could get ready simultaneously in the mornings and evenings without waiting in line – an absolute lifesaver for a family vacation. The room was spotlessly clean, and since the hotel is relatively new, all the facilities are modern and in excellent condition. It had everything we needed: a kitchen, fridge, microwave, and even a washer-dryer with automatic detergent dispensing. We didn't need to pack many clothes for our stay, which really made it feel like a home away from home. The location is fantastic too, just a few minutes' walk from Shin-Imamiya Station and Dobutsuen-mae Station. It was super convenient for getting to Namba, Shinsaibashi, Umeda, Osaka Castle, and Universal Studios. Plus, there are convenience stores and plenty of restaurants downstairs, so finding food and essentials was never an issue. The front desk staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. They patiently answered all our questions and gave us detailed information about local transport and attractions. Their service was truly thoughtful and made us feel very well taken care of. Another huge bonus was the free parking (though you need to reserve in advance), which is a rare find in central Osaka. Highly recommended for anyone traveling by car. If I come back to Osaka, I would definitely choose this hotel again and recommend it to all my friends. It's an excellent choice for both family trips and group travel."

"I can understand not being able to open windows but the second window was frosty without being able to see outside. This hotel does not feel like a Japanese hotel at all. The so called ”sub-manager” with a shiny stone necklace around his neck and no uniform totally ignored my smile as I came back. When I asked if the umbrella was okay to borrow he barely even looked at my direction mumbling something. The staff members do not seem to wear uniforms or professional attire...which collar necklace confirms. You have a private room but cannot eat or drink in your own room?!! I remember about this happening in Chinese culture countries such as Singapore or Taiwan. Operating company is a ”Singapore” company.. so it makes sense. The sign would not be here if the company operated by a truly Japanese company."

"This guesthouse is absolutely fantastic! It's spotlessly clean and, crucially, very spacious – much larger than your typical Japanese hotel room. It comes with an induction cooktop, microwave, and refrigerator, which is great for preparing simple meals. The location is excellent too, about 300 meters from Daikokucho Station on the Midosuji Line. There's a FamilyMart convenience store right downstairs, and it's a particularly large one with a wide variety of goods, perfect for grabbing breakfast. I'll definitely choose this guesthouse again on my next trip to Osaka."

"The room entrance is small, but it has all the necessary amenities. The small kitchen is fine for boiling vegetables, but I wouldn't recommend frying steak or anything that produces a lot of smoke, as it's not well-ventilated and could make the room smell. There's a microwave and a small balcony for drying clothes. The bathroom is really tiny; you'll easily bump your head when standing up, and there's a high step. I wouldn't recommend this place for seniors, children, or pregnant women, as it's easy to trip. It's okay for two people, but any more would be very cramped. It's about a 15-minute walk to the metro station. There's a small supermarket nearby, which is convenient for buying things, and an automatic beverage vending machine downstairs."

"The place is clean and comfortable, the room has enough space, and it's convenient for shopping. The shower area is also very clean, there are bathrobes, and the room even has an air purifier. In the morning, staff will be waiting at the door promptly to clean the room, very punctual."

"Hotel were offering late checkouts to guests who left 5* reviews, so I feel that the reviews have been artificially inflated by people rating 5* so that they can get late checkout. Location was quite far from the JR Namba station and even further from the metro Namba station. The bed was really hard and uncomfortable. Bathroom was tiny, kitchenette had a raised lip which was easy to trip over or stub your toes on. However, the size of the room was good, there was a good amount of space. It would be ok to spend a night or two here but I think we were there 5 nights which wasn’t great with the uncomfortable bed. When we checked in we were told a room number of an uncleaned room and had to ring out of hours to swap rooms, but that was all resolved quickly by the hotel. Also to note, the keyboxes didn’t feel very safe/ secure because the codes followed a pattern (so if you knew one you’d know the other rooms), but we didn’t use the lockbox except for when we checked in so it didn’t affect us, but just something to consider. Overall it was ok for a budget hotel but I think the reviews make it seem too good to be true!"

"The hotel is very clean, and the transportation is convenient with several different subway lines nearby. The rooms use a password lock. There's a free washer-dryer combo, but many people queue to use it. So, I chose to use it in the early morning when most guests are asleep, which allowed me to use it directly. During this time, I also went to the gym for two hours (the gym is free to use from 9 PM to 7 AM) 😆. Next to the hotel, there's a Japanese curry place that's really delicious and worth recommending (but they only accept cash). I would choose this hotel again next time I visit Osaka! 👍👍"

"Prime location, near major station which we can go directly to the airport. The only problem is about the noise from some machine in the room I guess. At around 3AM, there was some beep beep sounds which woke me up. Otherwise, everything is wonderful. I would definitely book this hotel again if I go to Osaka next time :D"
