Dotonbori Hotel

Osaka|0.19km from Osaka Shochikuza Theatre

Latest booking 4 hrs ago

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.

Acro Capsule Hotel Namba Dotonbori
4.5/558 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

Good modern design hotel. Staffs speak English and Japanese. Location is excellent. Near shinbashi and dodotenburi. I like this hotel 8.5/10. Safe hotel. Hotel is best with its location. There is still room to improve. I will book again when I return Osaka. Near train station too. I am happy to book this hotel. The disadvantage is that this hotel doesn’t look grand and luxury
Fourz Hotel Kintetsu Osaka-Namba
4.6/5120 Reviews
The location is really near dotonburi and train station so it’s great. There is no proper reception but there’s staff there to help you out if you need any help. The only thing is that the check out time is really early at 10am and they don’t allow extension. We were trying to ask for a few hours (1 or 2 hours) extension because our flight timing but need to pay extra per hour which is quite inflexible… overall, it’s ok.
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.
