Homestays in Osaka Prefecture, Japan

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

Found this place last minute. The location is pretty decent, about a 10-minute walk from Shinsaibashi shopping district, so getting around is quite convenient. The bed was also very large, but the breakfast was a bit meager.

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.

A very friendly host who loves tomatoes. Guests can pose for a photo on the wall among the other guests if they wish. The four of us had a room with two bunk beds. It was spacious, but when you unpacked all your suitcases, it was cramped. It was perfect for an overnight stay before a flight. It was a direct drive to the airport. Check-out was also convenient. The room was lovely and had a ton of tomato-related merchandise, so bring some tomato-related gifts.

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).

First, let's talk about the location. It's about a 10-minute walk from the station and very close to Tsutenkaku Tower. The hotel apartment itself is quite spacious and has household appliances. It's also relatively quiet at night, with a washing machine and a small balcony where you can hang clothes. This makes it quite convenient for travelers staying a few days. However, my biggest complaint is the bed – it sags significantly, making it feel like you're sleeping in a hole. I considered checking out, but they wouldn't allow it unless I got a new mattress. I wouldn't recommend staying here. Also, the apartment key is in a password-protected mailbox, and initially, I had no idea how to open it. The unlock method and password were only sent at 3 PM on the check-in day. Overall, I personally don't recommend this place.

If you’re looking for a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, this seaside inn in a small coastal town in Japan is a perfect choice. Nestled right along the shoreline, the view from the room was absolutely breathtaking—especially at sunrise, when the sky turns into a canvas of soft pastel colors reflected on the calm sea.

🚎 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.
