Osaka Higashinari Ward Hotels

#Praise# Satisfied with the cleanliness of the ground, bathroom cleanliness, staff etiquette, safety; although the hotel is a bit old, it is very clean and convenient, and there is free bicycle rental, very convenient, you can go to Osaka Castle by bike.

I think ok. Quite close to the station and combini, convenient for going out. However, the downside is that if anyone is on the first floor, they will clearly hear the noise at the reception desk and guests dragging suitcases around. In addition, if you stay for a long time, the staff will not be able to come into the room to clean. (However, you can get toothpaste and replacement towels for free, so it's ok to maintain a little hygiene)

I've stayed at hostels before, and had a great experience till now. It's a shame to say I cancelled my stay at this hostel. Unfortunately, it fell below expectations and did not match the excellent reviews I saw online. We booked a non-smoking room, only for us to smell the smoke lingering in the room from the other guests. My father and mother, both very sensitive to the smell, had trouble sleeping and continually coughed throughout the night. And even though the hotel acknowledged this issue, they did nothing to solve it. Additionally, the room smelled like damp sweat. Even though we were supposed to be given a ”private” room, we only had a little partition separating us from the rest of the dormitory, making us feeling ill at ease when they admitted in their signs of common cases of theft in the hostel. Furthermore, their laundry facilities were absolutely terrible. We tried using the washing/drying machines, but after attempting 4 cycles of drying, the clothes were nearly as wet as when they went in. A staff member acknowledged this as an issue that needed to be fixed when I approached him, but was reluctant to do anything beyond saying he should propose for it to be put out of service so it could be fixed. We left two days in of our four night stay because the conditions grew to be unbearable. I left as soon as my family and I could find another place to stay. The staff apologized but did nothing about our negative experience. I would absolutely never recommend this hostel. There are far better places to stay in Osaka for a better price, better comfort, and better service.

Very expensive but God damn, they really do be hiring people that speak either English or Chinese together with Japanese! And oh my, there are just so so many staff that do! Whether that be front desk, or even housekeeping! The only ones that really don't are the ones in the restaurants or in Melissa (where they sell bread and other good food!) Or the mall downstairs! The dessert lounge weren't too friendly either but they all seem to be extensions of the hotel! Overall, great experience except for the fact that the rooms are indeed tiny and compact cause that's what we booked after all - but aside from that, all the amenities were great, toilet was big and movable in and you really have anything and everything you need already there! Only issue is maybe that some things here are pretty outdated though it's a 5 star hotel! But overall its truly worth the price though I don't reccomend staying all the time unless you wanna burn a hole in your pocket heh! But one great thing is that they are truly commendable in terms of holding events and catering to hundreds of guests for the really really big ballrooms. That's a huge plus.

Staffs were very nice and friendly. Good location and many convenience marts nearby. Unexpected big room and very clean. Welcome drinks with coffee, tea and soft drinks. Few restaurants around the hotel. Easy to get on subway.

Great location and comfy room for one person. Everything that I needed for 3 days stay in Osaka. The only thing I found a bit odd was that room had only 2 eletrical outlets so I had to charge my phone close to myself and my watch in the bathroom. Because I needed my power bank and laptop as well I had them to charge later on when I would leave hotel. Breakfast was nice , here are some pictures so you can check it.

The hotel is simple but clean, we upgraded to a larger room on arrival which was easy and not expensive. The bathroom was nice and staff were friendly. Most importantly, it’s in a great location for getting to the main sights of Osaka (a couple of stops each way) and to the stations for day trips out of Osaka!

hotel was clean and nice and very close to the subway station. Take care if you travelling with a lots luggage subway only stairs no escalator or lift. Also everything is self serve...other than that everything was good. There is even a TV in the bathroom for premium floor guests

The location is perfect for enjoying the city and also for catching a metro/train to other areas to explore. The staff were excellent and the breakfast was good enough - but to stop serving at 9:30 am on a Sunday, does seem odd. The rooms are clean and well maintained and everything was satisfactory. Thanks to the team for helping me find my iPad, much appreciated.

The location is excellent. Airport limousine bus is literally right outside of the hotel (just across the road). It is also very handy to JR and subway and underground shopping. I booked a small room for 2 (unknowingly 😅 there are different area size) The room is small for our luggage but the bed was comfortable, so the size of the room doesn’t bother us as we only need a room for bath and sleep. The only thing which surprised us was the hotel charges cleaning fee of JPY2,000 for room cleaning i.e change bed sheets, toilet clean, rubbish disposal etc, but new towel, rubbish bags and water will be provided every morning on request. Considering the convenience of the location, I will still book in the future but will definitely select a bigger floor area.
