Hotels with balcony in Osaka

This was our second time bringing the kids to Universal Studios Japan for two days, and we booked this hotel. The location is excellent and super easy to find – it's right on the right-hand side when you exit the Universal City Station. It’s also very convenient for getting to Universal Studios. The breakfast was decent; I had rice and vegetables every day.

A fantastic Japanese-style guesthouse. The neighborhood is very quiet, and it's less than a 10-minute walk from the subway station. The room was impeccably clean, and with only one unit per floor accessed directly by elevator, it offered excellent privacy. The facilities were well-equipped, making it a perfect spot to experience Japanese culture. The host was wonderfully warm and attentive, and all the visual and written instructions provided were incredibly comprehensive. Highly recommended!

I was very satisfied with my stay this time, especially loving the room's decor. It had a warm and comfortable wooden style with soft lighting, which made it feel cozy and not cold at all. I felt incredibly relaxed in the room. I think the design and layout are brilliant. The room was clean, well-equipped, and the location was very convenient, being close to the subway station. I've already left Osaka for Kyoto, but I still miss this room a bit. If I come back to Osaka, I'd definitely choose to stay here again. I did notice the odd smell in the hallway that others mentioned in reviews, but it was bearable, and the room itself smelled pleasant. One minor point is that one of the hotel staff members, a lady, seemed a bit cold, perhaps just quiet by nature, but another lady was very enthusiastic and spoke fluent English. Despite being next to the highway, I didn't experience the noise I expected. Regarding the blackout issue mentioned in other reviews, I think you can just request a room not facing the highway. I'm currently at a hotel in Kyoto, and for some reason, it feels a bit eerie. I really miss this hotel!

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!

The room was quite spacious, more than enough for two people and two 28-inch suitcases to open up. The double bed also had ample space. The bathroom facilities were excellent, with a Refa hairdryer and showerhead. There was also a washing machine, which was very convenient for doing laundry in the room – I even fell in love with the detergent, it worked so well! Aside from the room being a bit dark, everything else was great.

A great experience overall, but getting anywhere requires a long walk since there's no subway or bus service nearby in Japan. Everything depends on walking. The cleanliness was excellent. I expected a tiny room, but it turned out to be just right in terms of size.

I really agonized over where to stay, but I'm so glad I chose this place. We're a family of five, and since the beds were double and single, we booked two rooms so we could all sleep comfortably. Each room felt like a studio apartment in Korea, probably about 15 pyeong (around 500 sq ft). The price for two rooms was also less than half of what a five-person accommodation would typically cost. It's about a 15-minute walk to Dotonbori and only 5 minutes from Namba Station, making it easy to find after getting off the subway. My main concern when looking for a place was cleanliness and spaciousness, and the rooms were truly spotless with modern facilities. There's a Lawson convenience store just 3 minutes away. The bathroom was incredibly clean, the water pressure was excellent 👍, and the blankets were so fluffy and cozy, making for a really comfortable night's sleep ❤️. For breakfast, we were given sandwiches and egg tarts at the cafe on the first floor, with a choice of drinks. They even gave us coffee coupons for the cafe. Since we only stayed one night, we ended up with two coffee/drink coupons for the morning. I recommend using them right when you arrive! The egg tarts and coffee were delicious too. It's fantastic value for money, the facilities are clean, and the location is great, which is probably why so many Koreans stay here. There's also a quiet, traditional Japanese izakaya nearby where I enjoyed a draft beer at night, soaking in the local atmosphere. I'll be posting a more detailed review on my travel blog, 'Traveling Mrs. Park'. This is a 10-star, highly recommended, super cost-effective accommodation, paid for with my own money, by Traveling Mrs. Park.

Hotel were offering late checkouts to guests who left 5* reviews, so I feel that the reviews have been artificially inflated by people rating 5* so that they can get late checkout. Location was quite far from the JR Namba station and even further from the metro Namba station. The bed was really hard and uncomfortable. Bathroom was tiny, kitchenette had a raised lip which was easy to trip over or stub your toes on. However, the size of the room was good, there was a good amount of space. It would be ok to spend a night or two here but I think we were there 5 nights which wasn’t great with the uncomfortable bed. When we checked in we were told a room number of an uncleaned room and had to ring out of hours to swap rooms, but that was all resolved quickly by the hotel. Also to note, the keyboxes didn’t feel very safe/ secure because the codes followed a pattern (so if you knew one you’d know the other rooms), but we didn’t use the lockbox except for when we checked in so it didn’t affect us, but just something to consider. Overall it was ok for a budget hotel but I think the reviews make it seem too good to be true!

There was no TV, but it was great to have a projector. When filling the bathtub, it was the type where you have to turn a faucet and adjust the balance of hot and cold water. I felt the water was cooler than the set temperature, so I ended up taking a lukewarm bath. I think this would be a bit tough on a cold day. The reviews mentioned there were no pajamas, so I brought my own. It would have been even better if it said 'no loungewear' in the amenities section.

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.
