Dotonbori Hotel

Osaka|0.23km from Dotombori
I spent 1 night in a single room at the Dotonbori hotel for which I paid just 7150 Yen. The room was tiny even by Japanese standards (the only place I could fully open out my suitcase was on the bed). The ”pod” bathroom (a bit like a ferry cabin or some Ibis chain hotel bathrooms) was a little tired, and I suspect the carpets may have been fitted when the hotel was built), but the range of included services and snacks, and helpful staff made up for it. Slightly odd nightwear in the room - not a proper yukata, a sort of odd cross between a nightshirt and overgrown baseball shirt with buttons down the front, as well as (of course) slippers! The usual range of toiletries, toothbrush etc in the bathroom. Having done an evening Osaka tour, I arrived too late for the free ice cream and beer, but claimed one of the last free ramen pots in reception in the evening. The lounge area felt more like a convivial hostel lounge than a ”just sit here until my taxi arrives” posh hotel lounge - no bad thing! Tea was also available. I'd completely forgotten my room rate included breakfast, and was very pleasantly surprised by the wide selection of food the following morning. While there were cakes, pastries and western-ish hot food (scrambled eggs, some sort of sausage, even a pasta dish) I went for the Japanese breakfast options including grilled fish, rice, miso and 2 helpings of the delicious asparagus in sesame sauce. There were pickles, noodles, even sushi if you wanted. The next morning after checking out I was able to leave my suitcase with the reception staff while sightseeing in Osaka, rather than having to pay for a locker at the station, and picked it up before heading to the station. A budget hotel providing better services than many more upmarket options, in buzzing Dotonbori.

Cross Hotel Osaka
4.6/5438 Reviews
It was such a lovely experience. The room was pretty huge, enough space to put our luggage and unpack and repack our things. The level of cleanliness was also very good. The staff were very helpful and nice. They even have luggage storage which was pretty safe and secure since we came earlier than our check-in time and we still wanted to explore around Osaka after our check-out so the luggage storage was very useful! The location was amazing - right at the heart of Dotonbori and really near the Glico sign! We will definitely come back again.
Acro Capsule Hotel Namba Dotonbori
4.5/557 Reviews
The facilities, sanitation, environment, and services are all good. I will come again. I just don’t know when, where, and under what circumstances, how much I like others when we meet 🤷♂️, Castle Tower! Shinjuku Kabuki has such a strong cast, is it not easy for you to do that? The castle tower... The curator of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the student organization jointly organized a series of the most influential works on weddings... The Metropolitan Museum of Art Collection Center looked out the window with music
Vessel Inn Namba
4.4/596 Reviews
Location is at its best. Near dontonburi yet quietly tuck in alley. Room are small and tight, as its common in Japan. Nearest exit is 25. Exit 24 with escalator which makes moving luggage easier. Hotel can help to receive luggage transfers before you arrive. The Lawson beside the hotel is awesome. Near mc donald outlet and breakfast is simple but delicious.
Welina Hotel Premier Shinsaibashi
4.2/5179 Reviews
Hotel's location was very convenient, though the area was abit shady at night and might not be suitable for families with kids. It's also abit hard to get to the hotel with a luggage due to the crowds, so its best to take a taxi to and fro the subway stations with a luggage. Hotel does not provide housekeeping for guests staying more than 2 nights, for some unknown reason. Wasn't aware of that when we booked.
Fourz Hotel Kintetsu Osaka-Namba
4.7/5118 Reviews
Very nice & new hotel. Stay here for two nights. The hotel allowed checked in early at 12pm for JPY 1,000 per hour which was great as we landed Kansai airport early in the morning. Convenient location, nice public bath, friendly staff. Like that we can open the window in the hotel to get some fresh air. Will definitely stay here again.
Hotel Bali An Resort Shinsaibashi
4.2/56 Reviews
The environment is ok, and hygiene is not good. When I checked in, the bed was gray, and the table lamp was clear. Ordered two breakfasts and it was not delicious. Service is ok, free drinks and toiletries in the lobby are self-service.

Frequently Asked Questions

More about Osaka

Introduction to Osaka

Osaka, Japan's third-largest city, is a dynamic metropolis known for its modern architecture, lively nightlife, and hearty street food culture. It is located in the Kansai region on the main island of Honshu. Osaka's friendly locals and a myriad of attractions, including historic landmarks, theme parks, and shopping districts, provide a compelling contrast to Tokyo's hustle and bustle.

Tips for Travelling to Osaka

Osaka is served by two airports: Kansai International Airport and Itami Airport, with Kansai being the primary gateway for international travelers. The city has an excellent public transportation system, including JR trains, subways, and buses. Japan's famous bullet trains also connect Osaka with other major cities.

The official currency is the Japanese Yen (JPY), and while credit cards are widely accepted, it's worth carrying some cash for smaller establishments. The official language is Japanese, and while English is not commonly spoken by older locals, younger generations and service staff at tourist attractions usually have a good understanding.

Visa requirements for Japan vary depending on your country of origin, so always check in advance. Many countries enjoy visa-free access for short-term visits.

Popular Attractions in Osaka

Dotonbori is Osaka's entertainment heart, with its iconic Glico Man sign, an array of restaurants, and exciting street performances. A visit to Osaka Castle, one of Japan's most famous landmarks, is essential.

Universal Studios Japan, a popular theme park featuring Harry Potter World, is a favorite among families. Explore the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, one of the largest public aquariums in the world, or shop 'til you drop in the Shinsaibashi Shopping Arcade.

Weather, Best Time to Visit, and What to Wear

Osaka experiences four distinct seasons. The spring (March-May) and fall (September-November) are the best times to visit, with pleasant temperatures and beautiful cherry blossoms or fall colors. Summers can be hot and humid, while winters are mild but chilly. Depending on the season of your visit, pack accordingly - light, breathable clothing for summer, and warm layers for winter.
