Hotels near Thanks Hirao in Osaka

Amazing hotel! Room was clean and spacious. Place was convenient, very near the mrt and just right outside the hotel about 100m away is solaniwa onsen theme park which was is a great location for tourists! Furthermore, there was a discount for the onsen as we were staying in the hotel. The hotel breakfast was great too with a good view of the city.

Near to jr station, donki family mart and dotonbori (only 1 station from hotel). Worth to penny for capsule hotel since we don’t need to share the room.

Hotel located in the district of Nishinari Ward. It has the station Kishinosato-Tamade a few meters walk. The price is that I expected something more from the stay in general. The room is functional, with shoes and pyjama (although that is common practice in Japan). Without view because the 619 had the opaque glass and, although it is said to be soundless, it is not quite true because you hear the trains pass. I didn't like checking, despite being at 14:00 and having warned that I would come earlier, they didn't let me do it until 15:00, which, despite being not full, offers no more that invites to recommend it.

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.

I booked this hotel because it is just a station away from USJ and across the train station. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wished we could stay there a few more days. The hotel is new, the staff are helpful and hospitable. It has great view over looking the Bay Area and USJ. It has a spacious, clean and wonderful onsen. It was so relaxing after a long day at USJ. The breakfast spread was great and food was delicious! We will certain choose this hotel again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exemplary Service and Convenience! Our stay at Oriental Hotel Universal City was perfection. The seamless check-in process and warm welcome set the tone for an incredible stay. The hotel's direct access to Universal Studios Japan was a major plus. The exquisite dining options and impeccable amenities made us feel pampered throughout.

Location of hotel was great, walkable distance to Namba Station and Dotonbori Street. Room size was also bigger than a typical Japan hotel and much more comfortable for a couple as well. We received a free upgrade to a room with a kitchenette, thank you for the amazing hospitality!

The entire experience is petrified. I have never ever had so horrible experience in my entire life due to the foreign staff who is not Asian nor Japanese. The foreign staff is a guy with the cap on. As a tourist I forget to take off my shoes when I came to the hostel that made sense. Also it was the only and first time I made the mistake. He then shouted at me and pissed off by saying please Obey OUR Rule whilst other Japanese staff just said Oh she forgets only instead of shouting and being so rude. The Japanese understand I did not do it on purpose or have any intention of breaking their rule. The foreign staff looks so bossy as this is his hostel and he is the boss. He speaks fluent Japanese. I seriously don't understand why the hostel hire this rude person. Come on I know you want to make it international. He might brought his very rude culture from the middle east. The white people or Asian will not behave like this. I am not asking for a five star hotel service but at the very least treat your guest with respect. Obey is a strong word and I know he is not an English speaker but he is unbelievably rude. In the hospitality industry even though it is a hostel it needs service basic service and at the very least being polite. As if I owed him a lot come on I am a guest. Another staff like the Japanese girl and the owner Japanese guy are nice especially the girl called naka and she was very sweet to ask where would I go and giving suggestion. Apart from that the TV is amazing coz you turn up loud it's the same as silence Like other review said it is very noisy especially on Friday night. Staring from 4:30 in the morning someone was brushing teeth and locked and opened their door. It happened on every hour. I did not get a good night of sleep. I cannot wait to get out of this hell as I worried to make other mistake or forget something like take off the shoes and get shouted by the big boss from middle East. I will not come due to this guy. Taking to the local mere y who sold the skewer about the Japan is getting international. The old say is Japanese refused the immigration. There are not much white people only up to 2. But tons of the Middle East people who worked in restaurant hostel supermarkets or clothes shop. They are rude like the male Middle East staff in the hostel. The local said he welcome tourists not immigrant Japanese culture emphasis on politeness and repect. This rude staff ruined my trip and my good impression about Japan. Ask me to obey okay I will not be back to your hostel. And even in China have much better service then you. I will not come to Japan and spendinf money for such disgraceful treatment . Thank you Middle East staff you just ruined my trip in Japan. This is utterly unpleasant.

We have stayed in Swiss Nankai Namba for our previous Osaka trip & we love the convenience of transporting to & fro airport by Nankai express. This time we decided to try something new and we are not disappointed ! The Royal Classic hotel is close to Namba station, it looks new (think it’s newly opened) and spotlessly clean. The moment we stepped into the hotel we were being greeted & guided to the lobby for checking in, the whole process was a breeze. The staff we met are all so friendly & polite, they make us feel so welcomed. We booked a queen bed room, room size is moderate, we love the ensuite bathtub, a great relaxation to soak in after a day’s walk around the city. The breakfast included is amazing, it has a wide spread of Japanese & western food and even desserts. We strongly recommend to book their rooms including breakfast, totally worth it. Can’t fault anything about this place, except that they do not have coin laundry facilities. Other than that overall a great stay and we will definitely come back for our next Osaka visit.

I stayed at the Chisan Standard Osaka Shin Imamiya, which opened on February 25, 2022, on March 4, immediately after using the special plan for the opening. When I thought it was strange because there was a wound or dirt at the opening, it was a signboard replacement. The twin room with two single beds felt the walls were black and white. There is a space to hang clothes on the right side of the entrance, and a refrigerator is placed on the floor below it, but there is no door. Take what you need at the front desk except for toothbrush. The unit bus is not narrow, but there was a step of about 30cm at the entrance and I was careful not to fall. The room clothes and phone were next to the elevator. Breakfast was a restaurant on the 2 floor, a bright and relaxing seat arrangement, buffet style. There is a splendid locker on the 1 floor.
