Hotels Near Asahikita Park in Osaka

Luckily included Saturday in this hotel. On Saturday, this hotel will have a great octopus cooking experience. The ingredients in this octopus cooking, in addition to the normal flour, are also added yams, which will make the octopus cooking taste sweet. There are two cute fire dogs in the store, named Xie and Kue, which are white and black in Japanese. The bathing part needs to go to the first floor to take a bath, and there is no elevator for backpackers' accommodation.

Amenities wise, I feel that this hotel offered a great bargain. The shower area and toilets are clean and well-equipped, and the rooms very simple yet cosy. However, as a female solo traveller, the hotel’s good facilities and price were not enough to keep me there for more than a night because of its location. While yes, it is a walking distance to the train station, it requires one to walk down very quiet, almost empty and dimly lit alleys. Found out later that the hotel is located in a low-income, red district, hence explaining the people I saw loitering around. Hence, while the hotel is decent and the area filled with cheap food, I would caution solo travellers (particularly females) to think twice.

It was close to the station and easy to find. There was no toilet or bath in the room, but there was a toilet on each floor and a public bath nearby, so it was comfortable. On the other side of the station is the Shinsekai drinking district and Don Quijote, so it's convenient. The bedding was very clean. I'd like to use it again.

My first stay during my first trip to Japan. It was Spring 2018. I was excited because my little room was a tatami floored room. The small room was a basic room for two guests. There was only one plug point to charge our many electrical gadgets, so oh boy im glad i brought along a plug socket with 4-5 outlets. The room was too small for even the two small Asians like us. we have no place to put our backpacks (there were only two bags but) once we spread the futons. This small room actually suitable for a single guest. The bathrooms and toilets are normally clean for Japanese standards. You have to pay separate charge for your towels. Our room situated on the 4 or 5th floor i cant remember but there was only one floor for lady's bathroom - the hostel got about 40 to 50 rooms but there are only 2-3 bathrooms for ladies to share. I woke up very early to take bath but was very disappointing to see the long queue of Japanese female workers who unable to go home and slept here for the night. Imagine the long hours i have to wait to get my turn. sometimes i tried to go to another level to try the unisex bathrooms but they were definitely full with guys. The pantry on the ground floor offered hot water with 3-in-1 drinks. there are vending machines for you to buy mineral water or soda or sweet drinks. The walls between the room are super thin and you can hear everything loud and clear. The door is made of steel so when someone close it with a bang it can be very annoying. Well we were kind of grateful (feeling console?) that the room got a mini fridge. And that the hostel is near to the train station. I'm coming back to Osaka soon but nope, I'm not going to coming back to this hostel just to get myself headaches for the bathrooms. The friend who booked this hostel for us thought we wanted the cheapest room in Osaka and she never asked us about the quality of the service. Well this is the negative side of coming to Japan in Spring i guess. Everything comes in expensive price.

We arrived earlier than the check in time, and are able to drop off the luggages at the reception and come back later for check in for free. The staff can speak multiple languages, (Japanese, English, Chinese,etc) able to communicate without any problem. Room is very clean and cleaning service is provided each day. Location is close to Nanba. Very convenient. Close to a metro station as well, easy to locate. Would recommend.

Sotetsu Grand Fresa Osaka Namba offered a phenomenal location along with beyond satisfactory amenities. To start, I must mention that the room was more spacious than some of the other hotels I have been to. The bathroom was clean and well furnished and I had no trouble controlling the temperature in the room or the shower. In addition, their breakfast, served buffet style, was rather satisfactory. Primarily, the buffet was split into two broad categories of ”Western” and Japanese cuisine. The Japanese side offered classics such as udon, rice, miso soup, and tofu, while the ”Western” side offered an assortment of breads, corn soup, and pancakes. I say Western with quotation marks as I would imagine most people from Europe or North America would consider the fares offered a far cry from that which they are familiar. Besides that, it is also worth noting that the buffet would cycle between multiple different options on a daily basis to prevent people staying multiple days from getting bored of consuming the same dishes daily. Other than the hotel's facilities, it is also important to draw attention to the location of the hotel. The hotel has a wide array of different restaurants to visit and is located close to both Dotonbori and the subway. This subway is rather convenient as it offers easy access to most areas of interest in Osaka. It is also imperative for me to mention here that there is a convenience store located basically next to the hotel which is, as the name would suggest, quite convenient. In addition, for those who are into anime, the hotel is walking distance fron Dendenmachi. Overall the experience was pleasant. The only issue if I had to say was that there was a high density of people in the hotels vicinity. This issue is further exacerbated on holidays, but this should only pose an issue to some people.

Location is great, service was good and breakfast was the best. It was near the famous Glico man. It is also within walking distance to Parco and other great stores. ABC Mart, Uniqlo, Atmos are near. As to food trips, there are a lot of ramen places around. Namba Station is about 1 kilometer away, which can be easily be walked even with luggages, where you can board the Nankai Line to Kansai Airport. Yes, the airport is just a train ride away, no need to hire expensive private transfers.

This is a one-unit B&B, not a whole building. It is located about a 10-minute walk from Dotonbori. It is on the second floor. There is an overpass next to the road (the overpass has sound insulation cloth). There will be a little train noise but it is acceptable. There are multiple parking lots nearby, and parking is convenient. The room has a refrigerator, a washing machine and a cooking stove. It is hygienic, but the air conditioner is not cold enough. It was quite hot when it was turned on to 18 degrees. One night, the air conditioner was turned off for some reason. It was very hot. woke up.

This hotel is not bad and also looks new. The downside is they don’t have laundromat. However there is a l laundry shop nearby  Even though the front desk doesn’t really speak English, but they are really nice with the positive attitude unlike the Via Inn hotel near shinsaibashi I will come again next time. 

Good location and there is much space in the room for the luggages. Only is no room tidy service even i got four nights stay, and only found two bottles of water in the first day, but not found again. It is easy to get water in 7-11 which is convenient everywhere
