3-Star Hotels in Osaka Prefecture, Japan

National Day disaster! This Japanese-style hotel, priced three times higher than usual, offered a shower experience that was utterly dreadful. I booked this Japanese-style hotel for my National Day trip, and the price was triple the usual rate. I expected a matching experience, but the awful shower completely ruined my good mood! The most outrageous issues were the shower's safety and design. The edge of the bathtub was incredibly slippery, with absolutely no anti-slip reinforcement. Three toiletries were placed directly on the edge, and during my shower, the shampoo bottle fell twice, landing heavily on my toes. The pain instantly put me off showering. There wasn't even basic safety protection. Even more frustrating was adjusting the shower temperature. The cold water came out incredibly slowly. Finding the right temperature required repeated attempts – it was either scalding hot at first, or I'd have to wait ages for the cold water to come through. This severely impacted my shower efficiency and was completely unacceptable for a hotel at this price point. I do not recommend staying here.

There's more to it than I expected. I thought it was a small hotel, but it turned out to be a Japanese-style hotel. I've always stayed at this chain and it's good value for money, but the breakfast this time was average. Everything else was good.

Located in quiet area (near Ōsaka Social Medical Center Hospital). Close to Shinsekai area, mega don quijote, daiso, etc. Also close to JR Shin-Imamiya. A quiet location, clean room, clean bathroom. You can leave your luggage before check-in time. We can check in until 10PM with easy rules and also easy rules to check-out. A little regretful that we only stayed one night before heading to Kansai Airport.

Overall the staff were almost nice and helpful. But there was one staff on the night shift forced to speak Mandarin to us even we talked in English to him. He sounded rude and not willing to talk more and ask us to check in the room. The room was just ok to us in terms of size but it looked old and stains are found in the toilet. The carpet seemed not cleaned regularly and toilet bowl was not the smart toilet which disappointed us. We thought that the smart toilet was the standard in Japan. Never meet this kind of room type in Japan. The location was nice and convenient. It was very closed to Ebisu food street and Tsutenkaku Tower. There are many shopping areas so this location is very convenient.

If you’re a solo traveller and don’t mind a few scratches on the wall, this hotel is perfect for you. It’s very convenient—just a 5-minute walk to the lift down to the MRT station. The bed and room are surprisingly big and comfortable for Osaka standards. Also, the neighbourhood is quite lively and welcoming, with some interesting spots nearby if you’re looking to explore the local scene in the evening 😉

It wasn't exactly close to the station, but it was convenient and there were restaurants nearby, so I had no problems at all. The amenities in the guest room were new and I was able to use it comfortably. I was quite satisfied with the room for a solo business trip.

The rooms are decent, and the location is convenient, very close to Shinsaibashi. There are many convenience stores nearby, as well as a McDonald's. It's just a 100-meter walk to Yotsubashi subway station, making transportation very easy. I had a great time.

The staff were lovely and the service was very good. I especially liked that the bags were taken to my room in advance while we travelled around Osaka before check-in time. The room was maybe slightly bigger than average in Japan, for the price range, and the bathroom was certainly larger. Bed was very comfortable and made for a pleasant night's sleep. Location was great.

This hotel is really great. It's about 300 meters from the subway station. To the left of the hotel, about 300-400 meters away, is the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters – super convenient if you're a Conan fan and want to visit! A little further on is Osaka Castle Park, which is a lovely walk. The room was clean and not small; two 26-inch suitcases could lie flat. The front desk staff spoke English, were very patient, and communication was seamless. It seems to be a church-affiliated hotel, as many Europeans and Americans were staying there. They even have complimentary samples like facial cleanser and face cream at the front desk, which is a nice touch.

This is a small room by any western standards, but pretty avg. for Japan. The location is good, and the small cafe at the entrance serves quite nice toast variations. The rooms are cleaned and sheets/towels changed daily. The washing machine/dryer is useful for a 3-hour clothes wash and quite cheap. However, the walls had smears of people's bogies or blood, and the wall paper was peeling. The lighting and switches felt from the 80's despite Trip.com saying this was a renovated hotel - I think this is common in Japan now. For a solo traveller, the unused second twin bed is useful as a storage place - otherwise there's little walking space. I would stay again for a short trip, but would look for alternatives for more than 7-days. 4-stars.
