Dotonbori Hotel

Great hotel with great staff and services. The location is so superb! It's literally a block away from all the Dotonbori food street. There are 2 konbini nearby as well for your midnight snacks. The hotel also provide free sake, drinks, snacks/ramen and ice cream at certain time. They also have little perks like free kimono rental, free flow of cold/hot tea, and most importantly free use of massage chairs in the lobby. With all the walkings in Japan, that is such a great treat. Twin rooms are big and comfortable. If you have an older parents, I'd suggest getting the twin room, even if it's just 2 people. The double room is really small and the bed is pushed to the wall on all 3 sides, it's harder for them to get out of bed with just the 1 side, we ended up upgrading them to the twin. Overall such a pleasant stay. Staffs are really great and friendly, too! They helped us booked a ticket to Kaiyukan aquarium and send our luggage from the hotel to Kyoto. Tips: don't forget to ask the reception for stamps of the hotel. They have individual stamps for the 4 faces in the entrance that represents the 4 different races.

The hotel is in a great location a stone's throw from Dotonbori, they offer many free things such as coffee and ice cream always available in the lobby. Clean room and very kind staff. I recommend it for a short stay in Osaka!

Dotonbori is arguably the best area to stay in Osaka if you want to be in the centre of the restaurant scene and the shopping district and the Dotonbori hotel is in the best location possible just a short five minutes’ walk to the Namba subway station The greatest asset of the hotel are its staff, providing courteous and efficient service always with a smile. One afternoon they dressed up the guests in traditional Japanese attire and it was a wonderful experience and a great photo-op. The complimentary massage chair, drinks and ice-cream in the lobby is a welcome addition. The breakfast buffet was adequate to start your day with a variety of Asian and Continental dishes. The room is a little on the smaller side but was just comfortable enough for two adults. Would definitely stay again.

Very close to Dotonbori “action.” Everything was walkable from this hotel. Shopping mall, restaurants, Don Quixote, train stations ! Hotel was basic. Clean. Staff was very friendly and courteous. Breakfast buffet was a very good deal at $10 !

Location and staff were excellent. The two options of pillows were great. The HVAC was great. The windows opened. There were a lot of amenities (free drinks, noodles, ice cream, etc) but we did not use them. The bathrooms were capsule, fun, clean, but also tiny. Great hot water. Room was clean and plenty of towels. If you like a larger room, book a room with 2 beds or for a family, even as a single/couple. This is not a luxe hotel, but clean and comfortable.
