2-Star Hotels in Osaka

Service is very nice and helpful. I got a lot of tips that were very valuable to me. Near the metro line. Shower is provided only for women with excellent cosmetics for people who care for the skin. I recommend. If I ever welcome to Osaka, I'll be sure to come back.

The accommodation was incredibly clean and well-maintained, which I really appreciated. I frequently saw staff members cleaning throughout the day. The toilets, showers, sleeping areas, and locker spaces were all spotless. It's close to Namba Station Exit 25, but I'd recommend taking the escalator at Exit 24 and walking a bit further. Exit 25 has narrow stairs, making it difficult to carry luggage up and down. The location is great for shopping, being close to the famous Glico Man and roughly halfway between Nankai Namba Station and Shinsaibashi Station. There were three minor downsides: Firstly, the Wi-Fi connection was unreliable. Secondly, the sleeping area felt quite sunken, almost as if I was feeling the floor beneath. Thirdly, although the reception is on the 5th floor, the sleeping area is women-only. However, when I stepped out, there were men also present in the common lounge area.

The environment is clean and tidy, and the transportation is convenient. It's just right for two adults. The facilities are comprehensive, including a microwave, stove, cooking utensils, a laundry cabinet, detergent, and a refrigerator – everything you need. The location is quiet, near a school district. There's a large supermarket nearby, and you can walk to the Tsutenkaku commercial area. Getting to and from Kansai Airport is also very convenient, with a direct route requiring no transfers, which is extremely handy.

It's clear this hostel primarily caters to Japanese locals, especially since it even has a public bath ♨. Also, be warned: if you don't check out on time, they charge an extra 1000 yen per hour! 😨😨😨 After two hours, the cost is almost as much as a night's stay, so guests really need to keep that in mind when checking in! The location is indeed excellent 👍 and feels very safe 👍. The sleeping space might be a bit small, but I was genuinely surprised and impressed that even in such a tiny area, there was a TV with headphones! 📺 The common areas are very spacious, and the seating is comfortable; there's even a sofa and reading nook. There's also a kitchen where you can order food. The bathrooms have a washer and dryer, though only one of each. I used them in the morning and didn't have to wait.

This hotel is located near the Shin-Imamiya Station. There is a large Don Quixote shopping center nearby. It is very convenient to buy a souvenir. The room is very new and the bathroom is dry and wet, which is rare. The public space on the first floor is very spacious, there are coffee machines and luggage can be used, the counter staff is also very kind, it is a good choice for accommodation.

I ended my stay early for a couple of reasons. One; the mattress in my pod was too short and my feet hung off the and. I’m nearly 6 foot. Also, the guy in the pod next to me was snoring very, very loudly all night. Sue the manager kindly let me switch to another pod but I was still uncomfortable so she allowed me to check out early. Also, the place is very cramped and cluttered. Stuff everywhere. It just didn’t suit me. But Sue was unbelievably helpful, kind and understanding.

Excellent value for money. Do note that you'll need a smartphone with an internet connection to check in upon arrival. For women, there are three showers, but I personally never had to wait to use them. Wifi and a fridge are available in the room, which was very clean. Regarding the neighborhood, I had seen some negative reviews; indeed, there are a few homeless people around, but on the other hand, it's right next to a metro station and some nice areas are within walking distance. Shopping malls and grocery stores are also right nearby.

What I like about Jakotel is the location and modern facilities. It is located near Dotonbori and super near Kuromon market (though avoid eating there. It’s a tourist trap with super expensive and not so good food). As mentioned by others, though it says Namba but the nearest station is Nipponbashi. Bed and duvet is comfortable and facilities are kept clean. What I didn’t like is that the shower room is on the first floor for everyone (a tad inconvenient). But since I knew about it from past review, I brought a waterproof toiletries bag. Toilets are on each floor - only 1 per floor. Though there are only 2 shower room, I really didn’t have to wait at all even though the hostel is fairly full. However, since the door to the shower room is not closed, you have to dress inside the shower. The wash basin area is really for just that, washing hands or putting on make up. The other thing that could be improved is communication. There is no way to communicate with the hostel. They don’t reply to chat online and calling them is also not helpful. It’s quite concerning when you want to verify booking, confirm check in details or request for top/bottom bunk. Email for check in came 5 days before check in. Other than the regular cleaners around, there is no other staff. The cleaners are mostly Vietnamese and speak very little English but they do try to help (albeit the language barrier). Check in and check out is automated.

The hostel is conveniently located near the metro station. The area outside is a bit like a bar street, but once you step into the hostel, it feels new, modern, clean, and comfortable. There are several common areas on the ground floor and upstairs, which are great for chatting, using your phone, or working. They also have a shared kitchen, washing machine, and dryer. The dorm room had a bit of a strange smell, but it felt clean. The beds were spacious enough for a comfortable sleep, and each bed had its own private locker.

I stayed at a hotel in Osaka and had a mixed experience. The staff were very nice, always polite and willing to assist, which made me feel welcome. The location was also convenient, with easy access to the main sights and transportation. However, the cleanliness of the hotel could have been better. Some areas did not feel as well maintained as they should, which was a little disappointing. The amenities were just average, functional but not impressive. Overall, the hotel was fine for a short stay, thanks to the friendly staff and good location, but it would benefit from improvements in cleanliness and facilities.
