Homestays in Osaka Prefecture, Japan

Don't hesitate to ask customer service any questions, they respond very quickly. The room was very clean, and there was dish soap but no laundry detergent. A small frying pan and two sets of dishes were provided, but no cooking pot. The frying pan was a bit small, but it was just about enough for cooking simple things. There are two large supermarkets nearby, which is very convenient.

Overall, the accommodation was very clean, comfortable, and had a great atmosphere. The location was excellent and very convenient. The room was quite spacious, making it perfect for staying with family or friends. I especially liked that there was a washing machine in the bathroom, and it even came with laundry detergent—everything we needed was provided. Although the check-out time was 10:00 AM, we requested an extension and they kindly allowed us to stay until 12:00 PM free of charge, which we really appreciated. It was truly a great choice. The place was very cozy, and the bed was large and extremely comfortable.

The location is near the train station and the tower. The room have drinking water and more space but very small toilet and bathtub. At night, the light is too bright, even though there is curtain. The luggage cannot leave for free at the front after checkout. The staff is welcome to help.

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 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! 🪴🪴🪴

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.

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 located in a residential area. Although it is very quiet, the living functions are still good. There are convenience stores, supermarkets and restaurants nearby. The subway is a little far from the hotel, and the journey takes almost ten minutes, but the famous attractions Kuromon Market and Tsutenkaku are nearby and can be reached on foot. The facilities in the room are all available, including induction cookers, refrigerators, microwave ovens and TVs, bath towels, towels, slippers and toothbrushes. The toilet is a bidet, and the bathtub in the bathroom is large, so you can take a bath. The room is very beautiful in Japanese style. There are also vending machines and free washing machines on the first floor. It is very suitable for family travel.

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. 🫶
