Hotels near COSMOS (Shinsaibashi Minami Store) in Osaka

The location is unbeatable, multiple convenience stores around, 7-10min walk to Dotonburi and various stations, lots of restaurants and quiet streets at night time. The hotel also has a cafeteria with free tea, water, melon soda, coca cola and other refreshments that are available 24/7. The room itself is simple but very comfortable and has everything you could need. Rooms are cleaned daily and amenities replenished too, even if you opt out of cleaning by sticking a ”Do not clean” magnet on the door, they then put everything in a bag and hang it on the handle. The staff is mostly professional, speak decent English and the check-in/out process was easy. Where it loses points is due to the following: On one of our big days out exploring, we came back to the hotel at around 8PM. The Front Lobby was filled with a big and disorganised Chinese group/family of 12-16 people who were scattered throughout the lobby. They did not all have a hotel key card, I know this because there was an employee by the escalator using his key on the elevator to send up them to their rooms. So my girlfriend and I got our keys out, got to the front of the other elevator and showed our cards as a way of gesturing if we could go up. The employee rejected us and we got the idea that we had to wait. Now I don't know about you, but I don't see why I need to wait for something that isn't my problem. Their lobby was littered and the tourists were being loud and screaming at eachother from across the room. We were not going to wait. Line them up in front of one elevator and use the other one for people who are entering and exiting, and if no one is entering and exiting, then let them use both elevators. Such unprofessionalism. We decided to leave and go for a walk and kill time at the local convienience store, but it definitely ruined our day and experience with the hotel. Another reason is I asked if they could make a restaurant reservation on my behalf, the bird cafe that I wanted to go to had a registration and booking process that was not friendly for tourists. It required me to write my Japanese Name for some reason, as well as phone number. The hotel said they could not make such reservations for me. I ended up walking in and was lucky it was a weekday and it wasn't as packed. Also be sure to check how many adults is listed on the room you plan to book, I didn't check properly and mine said 1 Adult, even though it fits 2 and the amenities were stocked for 2, this mistake of mine cost me 14,000yen (2000yen a day) because I had my girlfriend with me.

Good walk from Namba station, directly opposite Kuromon market. There was an issue with our booking upon check in but instead of helping us with it, the receptionist said to cancel and make a new booking - which makes zero sense to me at all. Receptionists can’t speak a lick of English and will converse with you back and forth through Google translate, so be prepared for a lot miscommunication. Room was alright, nothing great or amazing. It’s a thing in Japan to have such tiny rooms so we didn’t expect much. Basic amenities given, and if you need extra things like combs or shavers you can get them at the lobby. They said there was free coffee and donuts there 24/7 but every time we came down there was never any donuts lol. Receptionist also helped us to book a luggage delivery 👍🏼

We have stayed in Swiss Nankai Namba for our previous Osaka trip & we love the convenience of transporting to & fro airport by Nankai express. This time we decided to try something new and we are not disappointed ! The Royal Classic hotel is close to Namba station, it looks new (think it’s newly opened) and spotlessly clean. The moment we stepped into the hotel we were being greeted & guided to the lobby for checking in, the whole process was a breeze. The staff we met are all so friendly & polite, they make us feel so welcomed. We booked a queen bed room, room size is moderate, we love the ensuite bathtub, a great relaxation to soak in after a day’s walk around the city. The breakfast included is amazing, it has a wide spread of Japanese & western food and even desserts. We strongly recommend to book their rooms including breakfast, totally worth it. Can’t fault anything about this place, except that they do not have coin laundry facilities. Other than that overall a great stay and we will definitely come back for our next Osaka visit.

Exceptional service - the front desk helped me to arrange taxi to the airport and it was not easy because they were fully booked. The person tried many times and finally found a taxi for us, much to our relief. The front desk is trained to ask all the right questions, staying calm. They also helped to receive my transferred luggage from another hotel. All timely and accurately. It deserved a 6 star for such exceptional service. The hotel ambience has a calming effect as it is dark but lighted on the areas that you need to see. We have no problem even though some people commented on it. Great location Room size is comfortable and considered a fair size, in fact, slightly larger and well planned. Breakfast has a good spread. Think it is great to open at 6.30 am as it gives maximum time to have an early start. Highly recommended for couple and families.

Great location. Very near to Dotonburi as well as the Nipponbashi Station. The staff was helpful and mindful. The room was bigger than expectation. Overall was satisfying during the stay of 4 nights.

The automatic check-in was difficult to understand, but the manager was nearby so she explained it to me. I was grateful for the face pack gift. Since it's a dormitory, you can hear your roommate's snoring and sneezing, but I think it's fine for those who don't mind.

The room is really spacious and can open 2-3 luggages. Hotel is stationed in the middle of Namba Osaka station and heading to Dotonburi will take 12-15 mins away. Will definitely come back again 😆

Located in Dontobori /Namba area, Agora hotel is well situated. With my wife we enjoyed our stay there thanks to the good staff. The room was clean, small but we get used to it. And all accessories needed were available. Luggage storage is convenient too. Thanks again , will definitely come back

I stayed for five nights here and it was a very good experience staying here! my twin room has two single beds of good quality mattress (a bit firm) and nice thick blanket. the room size is okay, understandable as most hotel room on this budget in big cities in Japan is usually very compact and small. the room lacks racks / place to put your luggage, however, there is daybed / sofa that i put my luggage into. there is water heater and two cups, but lack of instant coffee / tea, however, at the lobby, they provide good quality all you can drink coffee, tea, soda and etc, from 3pm to 10am. bathrobe is in drawer. slippers are provided The room is clean, well lit but the only windows is frosted glass so can't see anything outside. bathroom is well sized, with bathtub and shower head too. standard bathroom amenities are all provided and complete and good quality. even better, they provide sachets of body lotion, cleansing oil, toner, shaving cream and after shave lotion! However, they implement what they call as 'eco-cleaning', thorough cleaning and changing of blanket and linen is only done on 3rd day of your stay, however, the staff will replenish all of your amenities everyday and also replace towel. wifi works great, airconditioner excellent too. location wise, its in the center of Osaka, very near to the dotonbori, shinsaibashi and namba area, which means, its in the centre of food-mecca of osaka. there are two metro line nearby too that will get you anywhere. if you are returning to KIX airport, a 10-15 min walk to namba station north entry is easy. another highlight of my stay is their staff is so friendly, particularly Jason who speaks english really well! he even took initiative to provide us with huge paper bag after seeing is bringing lots of goods on separate plastic bag. thank you so much Jason, you are what every hotel need on reception desk :)

Amazing stay! From the hotel location, staff and room, we thoroughly enjoyed staying here. While it was located near busy Doutonbori, it was tucked away in a quiet but still convenient and accessible location. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The front desk also provides all the necessary items you need to make your stay comfortable such as a good variety of tea, body sponges, shaving needs etc. Hotel also offers around the clock free beverages. The room itself was very clean, spacious and very comfortable. There really wasn't any major downfalls aside from maybe an early check out time that i'm not used to, 10am but I still highly recommend!
