Hotels near Nippombashi Station, Osaka

The room was small but quite clean. It was quiet most of the time, though there seemed to be some noisy motorbike gangs late at night, but it wasn't disruptive enough to affect sleep. There's a convenience store nearby, and in the morning, they offer self-service waffles with free drinks and coffee. Overall, it's great value for money, and the location isn't far from the subway station, Shinsaibashi, and Dotonbori.

The Japanese here are comically disorganized. The hotel sign was only in Katakana, with no Kanji or English. Despite being someone who can usually communicate freely in both English and Japanese, I ended up circling the building three times, totally lost. I even asked a Vietnamese girl for directions, and she sent me the wrong way! Dragging my suitcase, completely drenched, it finally dawned on me: that Katakana was just a phonetic transliteration of an English name. That's how I eventually found it. Remember this: the hotel sign says 'アズーガデン ホテル'. Don't make the same mistake I did looking for a 'Garden Hotel' and crying in Osaka's Nipponbashi district. The room itself was decent, but it's right by the street, and the biker gangs were absolutely blasting noise all night. It was so loud!

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.

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.

We had such a nice stay here, we extended it (but on a different app). Great location in the heart of jazz clubs and easy walking distance to the Dotonbori hub, with lots of late night eating and drinking options close by. Breakfast has a really good range of Western and Japanese options, with cooked food changing daily. Be warned though, we had to contact Trip.com on check in. When they take your passport, they want to scan it to their system PERMANENTLY, which is an obvious breach of data safety protocols, and there’s no apparent reason for them to keep your data forever. After a hour of discussion, late at night, we finally sorted this out by having a photocopy stored instead (which we suggested in the first 2 mins of arrival) but it seemed they only did this because we were asking for a cancellation. It was a really unfirtunate start to an, otherwise, lovely stay. Mostly it was all terrific though, with great personal items and tea and coffee supplied. Rooms are very compact, very quiet and our last night was booked on a different app which was a bit overpriced, but all up, a great little stay with very kind staff.

This hotel's breakfast was absolutely delicious and plentiful. The location is great too, right across from Kuromon Market. It's super convenient, just a five-minute walk to Dotonbori. The SUGO Pharmacy at the Dotonbori intersection is open 24/7, which I really appreciate about staying here. Walking the other way, it's also very close to Takashimaya, not to mention the subway stations. The room was very clean, and it even had a fridge. The Lawson convenience store downstairs is handy for snacks and drinks, and there's a whole street of restaurants nearby. It's a hotel with excellent value for money, and I've already recommended it to several friends.

First time staying in a capsule hotel and it was a great experience! The location is super convenient, really close to Namba Station. The hygiene and overall environment were good. On the 5th floor, you can enjoy a bath and sauna. Plus, there are plenty of dining, entertainment, and shopping options nearby. I'd definitely stay here again next time I'm in Osaka.

The hotel was smaller than I expected, but the two 1.5-meter beds were still enough for our family of three. Perhaps due to its location, the price was only 300 RMB less than a Marriott I booked, but the living experience was worlds apart. The room felt a bit cramped for three people, and there wasn't even space in the bathroom for my toiletry bag. Maybe it's fine for a solo traveler. The biggest flaw of this hotel is the poor soundproofing; I could clearly hear normal conversations from next door, which made me worry about my sleep, but it turned out okay in the end. There are breakfast places nearby, and we walked a few steps to a delicious BBQ place for dinner. The next day, we walked to Daimaru Department Store in under 10 minutes. The hotel's location and convenience are undeniable. There's a massage chair in the lobby that you can use for free for 15 minutes, which is a huge plus! I didn't try the free noodles in the evening or the breakfast, so I can't comment on those. I forgot to take pictures of the interior, so the attached photo is of my favorite breakfast spot nearby.

It’s really difficult for any hostel to beat this one from the convenience of its location a few 100 meters from Namba station and dotonbori street, the sparkling cleanliness, super nice and kind staff, to the great amenities (including free green tea, miso soup) and the value for money (I paid 2500¥ for my super comfortable stay)

The location of the hotel is great, close to many of the attractions and especially if you love food. The staff was kind, but the room was not clean, also all the towels contained hair from other people which is not very convenient when traveling with a baby. Also don’t understand that the rooftop bar closes at 9pm while it apparently has a great view..
