2-Star Hotels in Osaka Prefecture, Japan

Reading the many reviews before booking really paid off! The place felt incredibly clean and well-maintained. Even though it was the middle of summer, the air conditioning was fantastic – almost too cold, which was great. I had some reservations after seeing reviews about the capsules being a bit warm, but I found that turning on the internal ventilation created good airflow both inside and out, so I slept comfortably cool every night. My only minor complaint was that the common lounge area in the lobby was quite small. However, it didn't cause any major inconvenience for me personally. They also have a fridge, water dispenser, and microwave, which are all very convenient.

The hotel is right by the station, which is super convenient. The room was really clean, and it wasn't noisy at all, contrary to some reviews. The 10th-floor public bath was a huge plus! I'd definitely stay here again; I was very satisfied with my stay. 👍

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this apartment. It was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Although the space is compact, it felt surprisingly spacious for the two of us and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable, and the apartment was well equipped with a washing machine, refrigerator, TV, microwave, kitchen, and cooking utensils. We especially loved the balcony, as it was perfect for drying our clothes every day. What impressed us the most was the host's kindness and hospitality. We arrived in Osaka after a long flight, feeling exhausted and sleep-deprived, so we asked if an early check-in might be possible. The host kindly accommodated our request at no extra charge, which we truly appreciated. Being able to rest before exploring Osaka made a huge difference to our trip. Thank you for your warm hospitality. We highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Osaka and would happily stay here again!

First hotel once touched down in Osaka. It was great as they allow early check in which is so so grateful and thankful for after a long flight due to long layover time. The staff is friendly and nice. But there’s one disturbing thing is every morning around 7/8/9 am, there will be door banging constantly and I assumed it’s the cleaning process which need to open some kind of room constantly. It was quite disturbing as it awakes me almost everyday. There’s the only downside. Other than that, location is great with walking distance to Tsutentaku and near to Zoo and Museum. It’s quite comfortable and will be perfect without the banging noise. Might hesitant to book again due to the noise as a light sleeper. Hope it can be improved in future. Overall, great stay and it’s near to a great luggage storage shop which named Daikoku Locker. Extremely cheap and easy to store,

The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic, with super convenient transportation and plenty of dining, entertainment, and shopping options nearby. The lobby is grand and bright, and the rooms have excellent natural light and views. The mattress and pillows are incredibly comfortable, a real blessing for anyone who prioritizes good sleep. Not only are the facilities top-notch, but the service is also impeccable. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I visit!

I spent several weeks at 3u Namba. The receptionists were always very pleasant and often helped me keep the same room between reservations. There's a significant dust problem because of the carpet everywhere, leading to dust bunnies all over, so if you have allergies, you should be aware of this. The location is perfect, close to stations, and the showers are generally clean. My only very personal negative point is that I find it a bit disappointing when you've been staying for several weeks and have to check out for just one night because the hotel is full, only to have to wait until 3 pm the next day for check-in. A bit more flexibility for regular guests would be a real plus. The rooms are good, but the view really depends on your luck. Thank you for the stay, and I will return. I recommend it if it's less than €20 per night outside of peak season.

This was not my first hostel experience, and I have to say, I was a bit disappointed. Let’s start with the positive aspects first: The location was absolutely perfect — I don’t think you could find a better place to stay in Namba. Everything was close by, and getting around was very easy. Also, the staff were extremely, extremely friendly, and we received fresh towels every day, which I really appreciated. Now, onto the things that bothered me: First, the cleanliness: It wasn’t really clean. In the showers, there was always a lot of hair and dirt in the gaps where you enter and exit, which was quite unpleasant. During my stay, someone vomited in the public sink area, and it was not cleaned up overnight — it was still there even at 10 a.m. the next morning. Because of that, the house smelled strongly of vomit for a while. That night, and in general, there was often an unpleasant smell in the kitchen area as well. Without wanting to discriminate, I noticed that many older people were staying at the hostel (since apparently there was no age restriction). Some of them would loudly clear their throats and spit phlegm into the sinks, even early in the morning, which was quite disturbing and unhygienic. Another issue was the temperature: The room was extremely hot at night, and since so many people were sleeping in one room, the air became very stuffy. Even inside your capsule, it was uncomfortably warm. One last point: On the day of arrival, the address on Trip.com was wrong, which made it very hard to find the hostel. It took me almost an hour and a half to find it, especially because it was very hidden with no clear signage outside. I really hope that in the future, there will also be an age limit for guests.

The hostel is conveniently located near the metro station. The area outside is a bit like a bar street, but once you step into the hostel, it feels new, modern, clean, and comfortable. There are several common areas on the ground floor and upstairs, which are great for chatting, using your phone, or working. They also have a shared kitchen, washing machine, and dryer. The dorm room had a bit of a strange smell, but it felt clean. The beds were spacious enough for a comfortable sleep, and each bed had its own private locker.

I had a great stay at Hotel Lucky in Osaka. The room was clean, comfortable, and offered excellent value for money. The location was very convenient, with train stations, convenience stores, and restaurants just a short walk away. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable place to stay in Osaka.

Pros: 👍🏻 1. The room is new and spacious, fitting two suitcases comfortably. 2. Free TV with YouTube, Netflix, and Wi-Fi – I loved it. 3. Very affordable, good value for money. 4. Close to the subway, but a bit far from the airport train station. 5. The air conditioning is cold, and the shower has strong water pressure, which was great. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are provided. Cons: 👎🏻 1. Check-in was quite difficult as there's no staff on-site. 2. You have to remember a lot of codes because the bathroom, the front door of the hotel, and all other doors require a code. 3. We stayed for 4 nights, and they didn't clean the room or change the towels. If you want these services, you have to pay extra. 4. No drinking water provided, only a kettle and a microwave. 5. Not recommended for solo female travelers because there are many homeless people in the area around the hotel. Even with my boyfriend, I felt a bit scared.
