2-Star Hotels in Osaka Prefecture, Japan

This hotel is perfectly located, just 5 meters from Nankai Line station, making it incredibly convenient for transportation. What truly sealed the deal was the unbeatable price – excellent value for money! The ground floor's lounge area is a great perk, offering complimentary water and beverages. The female shower rooms on the first floor were also a pleasant experience. All the staff were very friendly. They even provide free pastries in the morning. It's an ideal choice for a transitional stay on your first or last day when traveling to or from Kansai International Airport. I stayed here twice, each for one night. One of the rooms had a slight odor, but the other was fine. You can hear some noise from the street, adjacent rooms, and the hallway, but it's manageable with earplugs.

The location is very convenient, right in front of Zoo-mae Station and within walking distance to Tennoji. The room was very simple, just a tatami mat. My room had ventilation, but the heater wasn't working, so the room was quite cold. The restroom was shared by both genders, and there was only one... The shower situation was the most inconvenient. Women could only use the bathroom for one hour, from 9-10 PM. Because there are more male guests, men had a longer shower time (5-9 PM).

Fantastic atmosphere! The room was very quiet, and the air conditioning kept it nice and warm, so I had a really solid night's sleep! There's a lounge area with free drinks (see p4), which was a thoughtful touch. Plenty of convenience stores and vending machines nearby, and transportation was super convenient; I mostly used Honmachi Station. They provide free towels and slippers, and the bathroom is stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, facial cleanser, makeup remover, and even toner/lotion! You can also borrow hair oil and curling irons. Plus, free breakfast is included. Even though I didn't get to try the breakfast and some of the amenities, I highly, highly recommend this place. Thanks to this spot, my solo trip in Japan felt so much warmer!

After checking in, I found the hotel's location to be excellent. It's only a few dozen meters from Exit 8 of Dobutsuen-mae subway station, and about 200m from Shin-Imamiya Station for both JR and Nankai lines. This makes it perfect if you have an Osaka subway pass or a Kansai JR Mini Pass, as you can get from the airport to the hotel by JR or Nankai in under 200m walking. Although the hotel is located in Nishinari Ward, often referred to as Osaka's 'slum area,' I was a bit concerned about safety before arriving. However, the hotel is right next to a main road with a lot of people around, so there's actually no need to worry. I didn't encounter any issues during my stay. I booked a single room with shared bathroom and shower facilities. Despite being shared, they were very clean, and the hotel staff were constantly cleaning them to keep them spotless. The only downside was that the soundproofing wasn't great. If you're on a budget and want a bit of private space, I highly recommend this place – it's much better than many hostels.

Stay for 2 nights here and quite satisfied with their service and room conditions. We were arrive by 11:30 AM and the staff allowed us to check-in the room though it supposed to be 2 PM. The location is just 2 minutes walk to shin-osaka station which very convenient. There is also familymart nearby! definitely will stay here again when I comeback to osaka. Thank you!

The locationn is very close to shopping areas such as Namba, Shinsaibashi, and Kuromon Market. There's also a large, inexpensive supermarket nearby, located behind the building. The accommodation is clean, towels, liquid soap, and shampoo are provided. The bed is a good size, not too narrow. My room was on the second floor and had limited space for luggage. There's a corner outside the room with tea and coffee service and a refrigerator, but it's quite cramped. You can buy food and heat it up there. Because the accommodation doesn't have much common space, you need to be mindful of noise levels.

I stayed for a total of 13 nights. The hotel is very close to Dobutsuen-mae, which makes it extremely convenient. The room is small, but since it’s a private room, it’s perfectly fine. The room, toilet, and shower areas are clean and well maintained. Overall, I’m satisfied with my stay.

The hotel is located in Nishinari Ward, quite close to the subway station and tourist attractions. However, the surrounding area is a stark contrast to Japan's usual order and cleanliness, with homeless people and trash everywhere. On the bright side, the hotel itself is very clean, and having a police station directly across the street makes it feel safe. The only inconvenience is having to take the elevator all the way down to the ground floor every time you want to shower. On another note, the front desk staff were very friendly and helpful with luggage storage, which was a big plus.

1. Opposite exits 17/18 of the subway station, you'll find the Senba Center. Its basement has a food street with small eateries, offering prices more reasonable than tourist areas. 2. I stayed on a weekday, so there weren't many guests. There was no wait at check-in or check-out, and I didn't experience the 10-minute elevator wait some others mentioned. 3. The bathroom is indeed tiny. When you sit on the toilet and close the door, your face is almost touching it. 4. This is a new hotel, so the facilities are new, and the design is simple and bright. It even has Type C charging ports. 5. Overall, I was quite satisfied with this stay. However, on the first day, when I opened the curtains, I noticed that the kettle, illuminated by the sunlight, had dust on its body.

The hotel is nearby the Shin Imamiya station and Dobutsuomae station. The room is clean, its very convenient during my trip.
