Homestays in Osaka Prefecture, Japan

There is no regrettable part, so it is okay to use

I can understand not being able to open windows but the second window was frosty without being able to see outside. This hotel does not feel like a Japanese hotel at all. The so called ”sub-manager” with a shiny stone necklace around his neck and no uniform totally ignored my smile as I came back. When I asked if the umbrella was okay to borrow he barely even looked at my direction mumbling something. The staff members do not seem to wear uniforms or professional attire...which collar necklace confirms. You have a private room but cannot eat or drink in your own room?!! I remember about this happening in Chinese culture countries such as Singapore or Taiwan. Operating company is a ”Singapore” company.. so it makes sense. The sign would not be here if the company operated by a truly Japanese company.

The room entrance is small, but it has all the necessary amenities. The small kitchen is fine for boiling vegetables, but I wouldn't recommend frying steak or anything that produces a lot of smoke, as it's not well-ventilated and could make the room smell. There's a microwave and a small balcony for drying clothes. The bathroom is really tiny; you'll easily bump your head when standing up, and there's a high step. I wouldn't recommend this place for seniors, children, or pregnant women, as it's easy to trip. It's okay for two people, but any more would be very cramped. It's about a 15-minute walk to the metro station. There's a small supermarket nearby, which is convenient for buying things, and an automatic beverage vending machine downstairs.

This location was my last of my trip in japan and it left me a very good impression. I got to talk with various types of people and the owner is very friendly too. He is very efficient in the way he manages this hostel and it is admirable. As per usual, hostels in japan really never disappoint, the layout of this hostel is like living in an actual Japanese house remodelled into a co-living space for 10, you can tell from the kitchen and the bathroom, it was clean, very lovely and homey. There is also a very nice nearby park where many locals do their routines like cycling, running, camping. It was very enjoyable to observe the lifestyle there, I also went to the onsen 18 minutes away by walking. I would say this location is a lovely experience especially for understanding a little of the local's every day life. Plus, a great stay to meet all sorts of travellers. And the owner is lovely to talk to, I love it here, I'll come back again if I can! The tomato theme is just part of the appeal! Aesthetic and comfortable, there's a tomato room at lv3 haha he said over 100+ tomato themed collections!

Stayed here as a solo traveller and first time using capsule hotel. I picked this place because of the good reviews and because its women only which felt safe. The capusle bed itself was decent size, although it did get hot sometimes (visisted April 24-26) but it had everything else! They provided cute pjs, tea/coffee, toiletries, towel etc so I did not need to bring too much. It was about a 14 mins walk to the main Nanba station but it wasn't a problem for me. Self check-in and check-out was easy, my room was quiet even with 4-6 girls (I am a light sleeper so I was worried I would not be able to sleep but I did manage to get some winks).

The location was great. It's walking distance to Tennoji Zoo and the Tsutenkaku Tower. You have access to several convenience stores around the apartment. The apartment was good for 1-2 people. Both the sofa bed and bed was comfortable and the heat/ac worked well. We lost a ring and were contacted immediately by the cleaning crew. We were able to go straight away and pick it up. The only downside was tgat the lobby key took a few tries to open the door and we had to fiddle with the keys to get it to open.

🚎 Commute: Just a 1-minute walk from Ebisucho Station Exit 3 to the hotel! Super convenient! Dotonbori is only two subway stops away, or about a 25-minute walk. Hygiene: I was personally very satisfied, although the air conditioning had a strange smell for the last two days, not sure why. Housekeeping: They bring fresh towels and bottled water every day! Thumbs up! Honestly, I don't use that many towels, haha. They also clean the room and make the bed on the second day of your stay. Bathroom: It's quite compact, but the shower pressure is excellent, making for a refreshing wash. Taller or larger guests might find it a bit inconvenient. 🤓 In summary: The best choice for solo travelers! If I come to Osaka again, I'd recommend staying at this hotel. It's also very quiet at night; I was worried it might be noisy, but it wasn't at all. The guests in the neighboring rooms were all very considerate. 😇 🥹🥹 A wonderful trip to Osaka!

A good hotel near Dotonbori. There are plenty of shops, cafes, and convenience stores nearby. Check-in is self-service, very quick and convenient. The rooms are, of course, on the small side, but everything is quite functional. Our room really lacked any kind of view from the window, as ours had frosted, blurry glass, so you couldn't see the street. The bathroom is also very small, but again, nothing new here. The hotel itself is quiet; outside noise didn't disturb us. When we arrived in January, the room was very cold, and it took many hours with the air conditioner on full power to warm it up, which was a bit disappointing. But after that, the room warmed up and it was fine. If you check in late in the evening during the cold season, keep in mind that you'll need several hours to heat the room to sleep comfortably. For its price, it's a decent hotel. There are metro stations close to the hotel, which is convenient. Also, downstairs you can leave your luggage after check-out and go out to explore—thanks for that option, it was a real lifesaver.

We had a great experience overall. The location is acessible to a lot of amenities such as Convenience Stores, restaurants, shops, and the train stations. It was very clean and comfortable. We wish to be able to book with the hotel again in our future trip.
