Hotels near Osaka Shochikuza Theatre in Osaka

Hotel is stone throw from two of the major POA, Kuroman market and Dotonbori, and Kintetsu-Nippombashi Station where one can escape the weather element anf shop till Osaka Namba station....The hotel has everything you need and the packet Kopi aka Coffee is good. The hotel provide free umbrella too in case there is rain

Exceptional service - the front desk helped me to arrange taxi to the airport and it was not easy because they were fully booked. The person tried many times and finally found a taxi for us, much to our relief. The front desk is trained to ask all the right questions, staying calm. They also helped to receive my transferred luggage from another hotel. All timely and accurately. It deserved a 6 star for such exceptional service. The hotel ambience has a calming effect as it is dark but lighted on the areas that you need to see. We have no problem even though some people commented on it. Great location Room size is comfortable and considered a fair size, in fact, slightly larger and well planned. Breakfast has a good spread. Think it is great to open at 6.30 am as it gives maximum time to have an early start. Highly recommended for couple and families.

The location is unbeatable, multiple convenience stores around, 7-10min walk to Dotonburi and various stations, lots of restaurants and quiet streets at night time. The hotel also has a cafeteria with free tea, water, melon soda, coca cola and other refreshments that are available 24/7. The room itself is simple but very comfortable and has everything you could need. Rooms are cleaned daily and amenities replenished too, even if you opt out of cleaning by sticking a ”Do not clean” magnet on the door, they then put everything in a bag and hang it on the handle. The staff is mostly professional, speak decent English and the check-in/out process was easy. Where it loses points is due to the following: On one of our big days out exploring, we came back to the hotel at around 8PM. The Front Lobby was filled with a big and disorganised Chinese group/family of 12-16 people who were scattered throughout the lobby. They did not all have a hotel key card, I know this because there was an employee by the escalator using his key on the elevator to send up them to their rooms. So my girlfriend and I got our keys out, got to the front of the other elevator and showed our cards as a way of gesturing if we could go up. The employee rejected us and we got the idea that we had to wait. Now I don't know about you, but I don't see why I need to wait for something that isn't my problem. Their lobby was littered and the tourists were being loud and screaming at eachother from across the room. We were not going to wait. Line them up in front of one elevator and use the other one for people who are entering and exiting, and if no one is entering and exiting, then let them use both elevators. Such unprofessionalism. We decided to leave and go for a walk and kill time at the local convienience store, but it definitely ruined our day and experience with the hotel. Another reason is I asked if they could make a restaurant reservation on my behalf, the bird cafe that I wanted to go to had a registration and booking process that was not friendly for tourists. It required me to write my Japanese Name for some reason, as well as phone number. The hotel said they could not make such reservations for me. I ended up walking in and was lucky it was a weekday and it wasn't as packed. Also be sure to check how many adults is listed on the room you plan to book, I didn't check properly and mine said 1 Adult, even though it fits 2 and the amenities were stocked for 2, this mistake of mine cost me 14,000yen (2000yen a day) because I had my girlfriend with me.

Prime location. Located at Namba Station (Exit B21) with 2 way escalator. Came in from Kyoto and it was definitely easy to move the luggage on the escalators compared to carrying up the stairs. Nankai Railway also within a 6mins walk, also allow easy access to reach airport from hotel. Room is large for Japan's expectation. My family were quite shocked with the spacious room as our previous trips to Japan booked at the similar pricing only allow a portion of the room size. Breakfast is decent but 5 nights in, we got sick of the options. Only changes made to the mains (pasta/noodle). Others like takoyaki, is a staple since its japan. Hotel can get pretty crowded, so breakfast can queue up long line. Front desk is hard to communicate with, as per mentioned. I booked 4 rooms under my name for my group of 11 pax. In the noon when we reached from kyoto, the front desk lady (who speaks english) told us the bookings are confirmed but the rooms are not ready so we left our luggages with the hotel. We returned at night to 2 japanese guy whom speaks no english. When we tried to help after waiting for close to 15minutes, we were shush because they got confused of my booking (1 quad, 1 triple, 1 double, 1 twin room) Select Rooms

Great location. Very near to Dotonburi as well as the Nipponbashi Station. The staff was helpful and mindful. The room was bigger than expectation. Overall was satisfying during the stay of 4 nights.

Located in Dontobori /Namba area, Agora hotel is well situated. With my wife we enjoyed our stay there thanks to the good staff. The room was clean, small but we get used to it. And all accessories needed were available. Luggage storage is convenient too. Thanks again , will definitely come back

Location was fine if you want to take bus to and from KIX. Because it is just next to it. Can easily take bus no. 60 to aquarium. Supermarktet and few stores are located on the same building. Check-in was fine. Most of the staff can communicate in English very well. We had our issue with cleanliness as the room was dusty and they did not change cups and glasses. We complained and got new glasses but the dust and dirts were still there.... Provided amenities were less than other hotels, even with less stars. Breakfast looked at first quite impressive, but after three days, almost the same choice. Staff was nice and friendly like what we can expect from Japanese Culture. Room is small and overpriced in my opinion. In general the view was great. Breakfast OK. Cleanliness need to be improved. Due to the old-fashioned furniture dust and dirts will be there....

Great location as my husband like hanging around Orange Street where s jus a few minutes walk, as well as the Shinsaibashi tourist spots. Small room as expected in Japan. Old but clean without smell. Breakfast is simple, fair enough for my man to eat something and then shop a bit while waiting my little kid who got up late.

Staff is very friendly. They understand basic English and you’ll be able to communicate with them no problem and they are always trying to help. Location is great. Very convenient. Right down the street is the busy area with the sign of the running man. Close to Namba station, less than 10min walking. It’s close to the busy area but the street itself is not too busy, which is good so there’s not much noise from the crowd. The room as in most Japanese hotels is very small. But overall I found the bed pretty comfortable. Cleanliness can be better but it’s not terrible. Overall, it’s a good place to stay to explore Osaka!

Hotel just directly at subway. 20 sec from hotel room to subway station. Area has lot of foods and shopping centre.
