Natural Hot Spring Midosuji Hotel

This is actually my third time staying at this hotel. 2 konbini are nearby, namba station is nearby. Dotonbori is nearby. Kuromon is nearby. Bic Camera is nearby. The overrated Ichiran is 5 minutes away at max. I personally recommend Kamukura 神座 though. Starbucks is nearby. Very convenient is what I’m saying. Need to pay additional one time ¥1500 for onsen tax. So please utilise it at the end of the day and it’s only open from 1800-2400 every day.

This is a good hotel located just above Namba station and a few minutes walk to Dotombori. We took the moderate twin room was which ideal for us as we needed more space. The service and facilities are limited as it is not a full service hotel but for the price it was good value for us. The in-house onsen and sauna was great and ideal after a day of trekking around Osaka. You pick up all your necessary amenities at the front lobby including yukatas. They do allow your bags to be left at the hotel now up to 10pm after checking out but it is at your own risk. You have to access the hotel entrance with your key card after 11pm. They don't provide water but you can get it from the Lawson around the corner, They don't provide meals - we recommend Tempura Makino (despite the queue!) and Komeda coffee above it for breakfast, just 100m away. Pro tip: If you arrive by subway or train and have luggage, use Exit 1 which has a lift, next to the Marui department store.

Great location very near the subway and shopping. In the past they had a great breakfast buffet so we were disappointed to find they no longer have it.

Its a no frills hotel, housekeeping is done only every 3rd day. Great location in the Namba area, lots of restaurants and malls nearby.

Good price performance

This is my second time after pandemic. But I must say, it is not what it used to be. The location is superb. It’s just a stone’s throw away from Namba Station and more or less 500m away from Dotonbori Glico sign. The amenities is okay. No more free water. And the coffee, tea and toiletries were reduced into generic ones. The door locks need replacement. They can’t read the card. The bed is hard and the pillows need replacement as well. The services, I am not quite impressed. Don’t get me wrong, the staff are polite and prompt. But they eliminated the luggage deposit after check out. So, if you plan to still shop, you will need to bring all those big luggages. Second, the hotel closes by 12mn. You need your keycard to enter. Third, the schedule of the hot spring is now only in the evening. Lastly, only few staff are there. Manage your expectations.
