Apartments in Osaka Prefecture, Japan

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 room was small but pretty clean. The only downside was no bathtub, which felt a bit strange for a trip to Japan! The soundproofing wasn't great – I could hear the subway and noises from the next room, so light sleepers should be aware. However, the bed and pillows were really comfortable! The location was excellent, less than a 10-minute walk straight to the subway, and there's a large supermarket right across the street.

Overall good experience and good stay. Hotel lobby have locker which is convenient for us to put keep luggage before check in and after check out. Locker price is reasonable. The location is good too, nearby have a few train stations. Only 1 stop to Namba. Walking distance to Tennoji.

The shower and washroom facilities at this accommodation were incredibly comfortable. The bedding, towels, and amenities were also beyond what you'd expect from a decent hotel. Especially, the mattress on the bed was super comfortable! I would definitely request to stay here again. Thanks to the provider! 🪴🪴🪴

Everything about the environment was great, except the AC heating wasn't very good. Other than that, the hotel was very clean and the location was excellent. Turn right out of the hotel and it's just a few minutes' walk to the subway station, which is only one stop from Namba. I was there for a concert, and it was also just one stop from the Kyocera Dome, which was incredibly convenient. If I had any questions, the host replied to emails very promptly. My hairdryer broke in my room, and when I told the host, she immediately took care of it and brought a new one the very next day.

The hotel is conveniently located near the Osaka Metro Tanimachi Line (purple line), Miyakojima Station, but it might be a little far from the city center. If you don't mind, it's not a problem as the Osaka Metro connects everywhere. The hotel has self-check-in and check-out, which is great – no need to talk to staff! 555 I recommend leaving before 10 am, otherwise you'll find the housekeeper trying to clean. I told them I'd be leaving in an hour, but they kept trying to clean (maybe because they didn't understand English). In short, I left my towel, cup, and a note asking for extra green tea on the door. After that, the housekeeper didn't bother me anymore; they just hung my things on the door instead. It was a good introduction, great! Overall, the price is good, it's clean, and the minimalist room is small, but fine. I was just there to sleep, so I left at 6 pm and came back at 11 pm – no big deal! 😘 I was too busy sightseeing to take any hotel review photos, sorry everyone!

They let me check in early since my room was ready before the official check-in time. The kitchen, washing machine, and separate toilet and bathroom with a dedicated washing area were great perks. Most importantly, the bathroom had a drying function, which was incredibly helpful for drying laundry every day. The room was spacious, easily accommodating three beds, and felt brand new and clean. Since it's a hotel where many guests stay for multiple nights, here are some services I wish they offered: * If you stay for several nights without cleaning, hair on the floor becomes noticeable, so a floor mop would be nice. * Pajamas would be appreciated. * A deodorizer would be good. * It would be great if laundry detergent was provided. * More than one room key card would be helpful. * More hangers would be better. * A bath chair in the bathroom would have been a nice addition. If these points were covered, it would have been perfect. Nevertheless, I had a pleasant and well-priced stay, so I definitely recommend this hotel.

Excellent value for money, highly recommended for families. It has a kitchen, and the front desk staff speak Chinese and are available 24 hours, which is super convenient for late arrivals. The place is clean and hygienic. The front desk staff are all very enthusiastic. From Kansai Airport, it takes over 10 minutes to walk to Tenkachaya or Shin-Imamiya. Dobutsuen-mae Station is the closest subway station, but it's still about a 7-8 minute walk. It's convenient for getting around everywhere by public transport. I walked to Tennoji in about 25 minutes. When walking to Dobutsuen-mae Station, you pass by a triangular park with an izakaya next to it where many people drink. At night, I saw a lot of drunk people. The front desk told me not to worry, as they are just drunk. That area is essentially a gathering place for Japan's vulnerable population, with a police station and fire station nearby, so you often hear fire trucks.

My recent stay was incredibly satisfying. The hotel's self-check-in service was efficient and convenient; the whole process was seamless, and I quickly completed the formalities, got my room card, and headed to my room. Upon entering the room, I found all the facilities to be well-appointed. From the soft and comfortable large bed to the neat and clean toiletries and fully functional electrical appliances, every detail reflected thoughtfulness and care. The hotel's surroundings are also quite pleasant, with lush trees providing fresh air. The streets weren't filled with noisy traffic or bustling crowds, and it remained very quiet even at night. The serene atmosphere allowed me to fully relax and enjoy a good night's sleep, completely undisturbed by external factors.

Compared to places back home, it's definitely on the smaller side, but for Japan, the size is actually quite acceptable. It wasn't as cramped or dated as I'd imagined. With the lights on, it felt quite cozy, and the window provided good natural light. My only minor gripes were the lack of complimentary water and that housekeeping only came every three days. On the plus side, there's a 7-Eleven nearby, which is super convenient, and it's also very close to Tenkachaya Station. The neighborhood is residential and felt very safe, completely unlike what some online comments suggest about the 'western district' being full of homeless people; even at 9 or 10 PM, there were no drunks or homeless individuals around. Luggage storage is under camera surveillance with no staff supervision, which initially made me a little worried, but my bags were perfectly safe after half a day. All in all, it's very affordable and offers excellent value for money. 🫶
