3-Star Hotels in Osaka Prefecture, Japan

Loved our stay at toyoko inn! We chose a triple room for a comfortable 9 nights here. Staff were friendly and always check/notify us for room cleaning. Daily free breakfast (until 9am) was a big plus for days with early itineraries as food options are limited to convenience stores in the morning. Everyday was Japanese style breakfast with some tweaks, which was always good and delicious. Our nightly stop: Lawson & family mart are within 3 mins walk, both with smoking areas and a 7/11 abit further (the viral berry smoothie is available there) Shower amenities (shampoo, conditioners, body gel) provided were great and lather well. Didn’t use the toothbrushes as we got our own. Razors are good. Toilet paper was very thin, very normal in Japan. Toilet bowl was a teeny small, with smart bidet. Hot water and water pressure was very stable throughout our stay. Daily towel changes and make up your bed. They only change the sheets every 4 nights. Skincare sachets (face wash, toner, light moisturiser, make up cleansing oil) at the lobby was good quality, enjoyed the face wash (doesn’t ***** your face dry). There’s also cotton buds packet individually per bud. Tea sachets. Pyjamas (provided at the lobby) was a button up dress type, hairdryer works well, make up mirror on the desk. Clothes rack on the wall was small so couldn’t hang much stuff. A bottle of clothes refresher spray was provided. There’s a small humidifier in our room, which was helpful as the air was dry in march. I think the rooms are quite sound proof as we didn’t hear any noise. The triple room was great. We could fully open up all our luggages!! 2 small cabin luggage on the luggage stands and another 2 x 28” check in luggages and a duffel. And still have space to move around. We had our nightly supper at the little sofa and coffee table, while we watch Netflix on the tv. There’s a microwave and a medium size fridge/freezer in the room too. There is 2 air conditioners in the room, heat / cold mode available. The downside was the beds are hard like other reviewers mentioned and the pillows don’t provide much support. But after the full day out and about, honestly you’d just fall asleep anyways. Surprisingly the bed length was able to accommodate my 1.9m husband. He’s just happy to not have his feet dangle in the air lol. There are 3 washers and 2 dryers available. Prepare some 100yen or change with the front desk. Laundry powder available for a small fee, iirc 30 yen. Washers are clean. Dryers run in 10min intervals and they dry well. We did our laundry very late at night twice, machines were available both times. Would suggest to bring a laundry bag along. Free coffee machine 24/7 in the lobby, while you wait for laundry. Or grab a beverage or beer from the vending machines in the lobby. We came during mid march so our daily walk to and fro Juso station was quite comfortable in the cool/cold weather, the distance didn’t bother us. We are usually back at Juso station around 11pm-12am and there will be touts outside the west exit. I think they’re respectful towards couples as they didn’t approach us at all. Only when they spotted my husband standing alone outside while I was getting something in the convenience store. I would say this location is better than the other toyoko inn that’s nearer to Juso station as that hotel is located at the end of the bar/club street. There’s more touts there and along the street towards the hotel, unless you choose a slightly further route. Although this toyoko inn is further and has a few love hotels around it, we didn’t encounter a single tout during our 9 nights at this area. There are residential apartments around the hotel too, it was very peaceful at night. Another downside is because Ubers are expensive late at night, we can’t stay late at the main Osaka areas to drink/party and have to leave around 11.30pm in order to catch the last few trains back to Juso. Upside is almost everyday I get to h

This is my second time going to this hotel as my first experience was so good. I went solo this time round and I was impressed by it again. Superb location as it is walkable distance to Dotonbori and Kuromon Market and Namba area and Nipponbanshi station. Staff are super friendly. The bread and drinks for breakfast was so good and convenient. Will always recommend this to anyone who is going to Osaka on a trip :) And I am planning to come back to this hotel again while booking my next trip to Osaka now for June.

Our stay was incredibly worthwhile. The room was exceptionally clean, and the front desk staff were wonderful, especially one lady who kindly helped me with the self-service laundry machine. This stay made our family trip to Osaka very happy and comfortable. Plus, there's a large Yongsheng Supermarket right below the hotel, and it's super close to the Shiyotsubashi subway station. Walking to Shinsaibashi is also very convenient. The hotel room even provided an air purifier, so there were no unpleasant odors, which is crucial for me. I also really appreciate the hotel providing a proof of stay. Next time I'm in Osaka, I'll definitely stay here again; it offers excellent value for money.

Facilities: Decent, the bed was quite large, and there were plenty of charging outlets. Cleanliness: Acceptable. Environment: Very close to Nihonbashi Exit 2, which is its biggest advantage. There are many shopping options in Sennichimae and tons of dining and entertainment spots in Dotonbori. Service: The front desk staff had excellent English proficiency.

The hotel has several buildings, and I stayed in the second one. The room was clean, and the toilet was also clean. The shower room is on the same floor and was always clean as well. There's a refrigerator in the room. On the first floor, in the common area, there's a microwave and a kettle. Several supermarkets are nearby. The subway station and train stations are also close. Dotonbori Street is about 3 km away, good for an evening stroll. Yes, there are many homeless people in this neighborhood, but they are harmless and it feels safe. For a single traveler, this hotel is an excellent choice, as the price is quite affordable.

This hotel is really great, and the hygiene and environment are excellent. I've stayed here twice years ago, and whenever I go to Osaka, I always choose this hotel. It's also very close to the shopping street. The best part is that the breakfast has my favorite fried chicken and Oden!

This hotel appears to have recently been purchased by the LiveMax Group and so, it was really challenging trying to find this location when I first arrived because the name on trip.com had changed, but the name on various map applications still referred to the original name. The location itself is pretty much halfway between two metro stations, so it is a little bit of a walk away from a station, which is a bit of a problem when you have luggage, although this can easily be rectified by getting a taxi using Uber or another similar application. One thing to note about the location that might be a concern for some particular guests is that there are a lot of bars and locations nearby, including one neighbouring location, that provide explicit services for more “mature” audiences. Generally speaking, though, there were no issues that came up, particularly with the location itself as it remained generally quiet, and Japan is usually considered a safer location for visiting anyway. Staff at the hotel can speak some English, which is good, and they are very helpful. Their service was great throughout. There is also a breakfast buffet every morning, and they serve a wide variety of foods in this buffet; the only thing you need to watch out for is to make sure that you eat everything that you take because they have a clear sign posted to tell you that they will charge a fee if you waste food unnecessarily. The hotel does have a laundromat below ground level, but I did not see much else for amenities. The hotel offers house cleaning daily, but you must request it at reception before 10 AM; otherwise, they will not service your room. The room itself was small, but I understood this going into the hotel and as a solo traveler, this was reasonable. There is a capsule style washroom in the room, similar to other hotels I have visited in Osaka, with a full toilet with bidet features And a tap that works for the sink and bathtub both. The bathtub, however, was smaller at one end and was more challenging to use, especially for me as someone who is a little bit bigger, although not impossible. The one major issue I had, though, was with the ventilation above the bathtub, which clearly was caked in dust; I was able to clean out the dust myself, but I did require house cleaning immediately after. I did have to request house cleaning a few times during the stay, not solely for the issue of the dust, but also because the towels that were provided were not very thick and so, needed to be replaced more often.

We enjoyed our stay in Plum Hotel. At first, it was a struggle to find the area but Japanese people are really nice. We found someone who accompanied us exactly to the place. The place is the quiet side of Osaka so it suits us well. The amenities are fine. It is secured because of the key card and even going to our floor designation is not possible without it. The staff is kind and very accomodating. We would recommend this place for would be travellers in Osaka.

Facilities: The room, though small, was well-equipped with everything we needed. Plus, there's a public hot spring bath available. Free daily drinking water and complimentary drinks during happy hour in the evenings were a great bonus. Cleanliness: Spotlessly clean. Service: The service was also excellent.

We stayed at this hotel for three nights during a trip to Osaka, and I was very pleased with the experience. The hotel is rated three stars and is located outside the city center, but it’s easily accessible thanks to the nearby train station, making it convenient for getting around and visiting Osaka’s attractions. The rooms are surprisingly spacious and well-furnished, providing everything needed for a comfortable stay. The cleanliness is excellent, with the housekeeping staff doing an impeccable job every day. A highlight is the rooftop terrace, where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the city. It’s a perfect spot to relax at the end of the day and take some nice photos of the scenery. The hotel staff is very efficient and helpful, although they don’t speak fluent English. However, they’re always ready to assist and communicate via online translators, which makes interactions easy and pleasant. Another advantage for those traveling by car is the hotel’s automated parking system, which is well-designed and easy to use. This mobile parking system allows stress-free parking and quick access to the car, ideal for those wanting to explore the surrounding areas of Osaka independently. The area offers a few dining options, with restaurants serving tasty food at very reasonable prices. Having a 7-Eleven and Family Mart nearby is also convenient, where you can make small purchases and withdraw cash from ATMs available 24/7—a true plus for travelers. In summary, this is a great choice for anyone looking for comfortable accommodation, well-connected to the city, with all essential services close at hand
