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 strip 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

it was a really good location, room was quite dark and had a little like damp smell, also check in is all the way at 4 and they wont let u in earlier if your room is ready, they will make you pay to check in early. other than that all good

Top notch service and ideal locality. Staff are friendly, kind, helpful and attentive. Special shootout to one staff by the name of Azu (bespectacled gentleman) who offered to upgrade the our room from the standard to the Universal room when he saw that I am sharing room with my physically challenged daughter. When we entered the universal room, we were really touched because not only it's much bigger but the toilet are equipped with handles, bars and special chair in the shower. It was a godsend. Kudos to Via Inn and Mr Azu. Via Inn would surely be our first choice the next time we visit Japan.

This hotel offers incredible value for money! It's conveniently located near a subway station, 7-Eleven, and FamilyMart, and close to Kuromon Market and Nipponbashi. The hotel is very clean, and they even offer luggage storage. I accidentally booked the wrong room type, and it was non-cancellable, so I just planned to make do. But surprisingly, the hotel upgraded me to a triple room! Japanese hotel rooms are generally small, but we were able to push the three beds together, leaving enough space to open a 26-inch and a 20-inch suitcase side by side. I would definitely choose to stay here again on my next trip.

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.

Had a pleasant stay at Shinsaibashi Grand Hotel Osaka. The location is one of the biggest highlights, with easy access to Shinsaibashi, Dotonbori, restaurants, convenience stores, and public transportation. The room was clean and comfortable, with everything we needed for our stay. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall experience was smooth and convenient. A great choice if you want to stay in a central location and explore Osaka easily on foot. Good value for the location and would definitely consider staying here again.

The room offers great value for money. It's a bit small, but it has everything you need. It's perfect for those on a budget who still want a good location. As soon as you step out, you're in a bustling area, making shopping very convenient, and the subway is also nearby. Picture 4 shows a good breakfast.

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.

I really enjoyed my stay in this hotel. It was clean and had nice amenities! I will give perfect score if: 1. They had a better pillow. The Japanese pillow is very hard. It is like sleeping in a stone. 2. The onsen has women staff, it is such a surprise to see a woman doing things in such place with people who are naked. Is a man okay to serve in the women onsen? I think it was awkward for the woman worker. 3. The quilt is like silk, it slides down to the bed when you are sleeping. It is not so comfortable to sleep on. Other than these 3, everything is perfect. There is not much in the area of the hotel but It is 6 minutes walk away from Awaza station, a few stops away from Namba station (where is dotonbori) there is a 7/11 beside the hotel. I have not tried the breakfast, but there is a drink area open from 6-9 pm and you can get some beauty mask or other small things everyday in the reception. The receptionists are kind and polite and the hotel was quiet. The room is small but is convenient.

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
