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 location was perfect, close to trains and food. The rooms were comfortable. Free icecream, noodles and drinks for all ages. Staff were friendly and helpful

The hotel is in a great position, next to restaurant during the day, and vibrant at night. Subway is a 5 minutes walk distance (well, you'll have to walk a bit more under the tunnel to find the correct line...) There is also a car parking (if you need it) on the side. Ramen, ice cream and drinks for free in the afternoon. Some cute events for guests in the late afternoon (simple but if you are tired and at the hotel is a good way to relax)

The room size for my son and I was great. Two good sized twin beds, decent amount of floor space and to set up suitcases, clothes and toiletries. Air conditioning was great and much appreciated. The breakfast selection was varied and tasty. The other facilities accessible on demand from the laundry room e.g. kettle, ice etc was another great convenience, washing machine and dryer were really easy to use and pre-loaded with detergent, using the app was great for knowing when to come back and collect.. The selection of complementary snacks, beverages and toiletries in reception was lovely e.g. to get an iced drink when you came in from the heat outside. Location was amazing so close to the main waterway, attractions, shops, bars and other areas all easy to walk to. Staff were amazing, so friendly, helpful, polite and genuinely appeared to want to provide a high level of service in a fun and welcoming way. Would definitely stay here again.

Location is perfect for going around Osaka. 10 mins walks to Nankai Namba Station for the Limited Express Rapi:t trains to and from Kansai Airport. About 7 mins walk to the Glico Man in Dotonbori. 5 mins walk to Exit 25 of Namba Station on the Osaka Metro Midosuji line. Room is pretty small, typical of Japanese hotel rooms, but it's good enough for a solo traveler like me. I did find the bed was on the hard side though and the choice of pillows either too soft or hard for comfort. I especially like that they offer free drinks and ice cream in the afternoon, that after a long day's walking around, you can relax in the lobby with a cold drinks in hand.
