2-Star Hotels in Osaka Prefecture, Japan

Planned to meet up with my dad after a few months and this was the hotel the group decided on. Just based on the location alone this is incredible for tourists who like to be right next to the hustle and bustle of dotonbori. The entrance to namba station is also only 3-5 minutes away so you can basically go anywhere easily. There's just one thing and it's divisive; the hardness of the bed. I personally think it's hard and you should be careful when you sit down on it. But my dad and his friends love it and say it's good for your back especially after a long flight. Other than that the bed is way wider than most hotels (actually good for two), so the room is kind of wider too, the staff was nice, and the breakfast buffet was good too. They also have free lockers for when you arrive before 15:00. Only small thing is that the check-in machine was kinda tedious

The best thing about this hotel is the location—it’s literally next to JR Shin-Imamiya Station. The hotel is nice and clean. The common area is equipped with a microwave, a coffee/tea machine, and a water dispenser. There’s also a laundry area available. My room was on the 7th floor, which doesn’t have a shower room. Shower rooms are only available on certain floors, so sometimes you need to queue, especially in the morning. Towels and basic toiletries are not provided, but you can add on, if I’m not mistaken. The room size was adequate for me—an Asian male, 67kg and 180cm tall—since I only used it for sleeping and spent most of my time outside. For the price, it’s definitely worth the money. Here’s the view of the train station from my room. They provided earplugs for you to sleep comfortably.

Good location but bad surroundings. Not very safe after 11PM. You wouldn’t see any homeless if you stay at Namba or Shinsaibashi. WiFi never worked and front desk even told you to have a wifi password which never able to access. If you want to use WiFi you need to sit on 1st floor. If you complain then they will pretend like they will reset a router but it isn’t working. If you ask them to help you book a restaurant then they would say “they can’t make a phone call from here” I didn’t expect much because it’s budget hotel but WiFi is something at least you can provide to your guests or a single phone call wouldn’t cost a 100 bucks. As a notice since 11th June, this hotel staff told to “wait a little longer” but it would take a month to fix. For real??

The host was very nice. The room was clean and spacious, with a kitchen, refrigerator, and microwave. The bathroom was also quite good, separate from the toilet, and there was a balcony for hanging clothes, which was very convenient. While it's not directly next to the subway station, the two nearby stations are each an eight- to ten-minute walk away, which is acceptable. I personally think it's quieter if you're a little further away from the station. There's a Nakabashi Lawson downstairs. Nihonbashi is a popular Chinese neighborhood, so it felt safe, haha. Also, it's not far to walk to Shinsaibashi, so you can stroll there and back, and the streets are bustling with activity.

I stayed for a long time. It was a beautiful room with a feeling of cleanliness. i like toyoko inn with beds and pillows. The staff was only a good person, and I was happy to respond to various requests.

Hostel staff is very responsive and being polite to the guest. And the hostel is located nearby the accommodation area. it is a great places to get a rest from the hostel. Apart from that the hostel has a nice common area for guests. But the hostel is quite far away from the metro station. It also requires 10 minutes.

A Peaceful Oasis in the Heart of Osaka with Excellent Transport Links: My Stay at 3U Namba Minami My recent stay at 3U Namba Minami in Osaka was a truly enjoyable and peaceful experience. Despite being situated in a vibrant area, the guesthouse offered a welcome sense of tranquility, allowing for a relaxing retreat after exploring the bustling city. One of the standout features of 3U Namba Minami is its convenient location, particularly its close proximity to the subway. This made navigating Osaka incredibly easy. Furthermore, its nearness to Shin-Imamiya Station is a significant advantage for travelers arriving from or departing to the airport, providing a direct and hassle-free connection. While the bathrooms and toilets are shared facilities, I was consistently impressed by their cleanliness. Maintaining hygiene in shared spaces can be a challenge, but the management at 3U Namba Minami clearly prioritizes this, ensuring a comfortable experience for all guests. A particular highlight was the availability of Japanese toilets. The heated seats, in particular, were a delightful and much-appreciated touch, especially during the cooler evenings. This small detail truly elevated the overall comfort and convenience. The check-in and check-out processes were seamless and efficient. I appreciated the ease and speed, allowing me to quickly settle in upon arrival and depart without any unnecessary delays. Overall, 3U Namba Minami offers a fantastic option for travelers seeking a peaceful and well-maintained accommodation in Osaka with excellent transport links. Its convenient location near the subway, especially Shin-Imamiya Station for airport access, the clean shared facilities, coupled with the thoughtful inclusion of Japanese toilets, and the straightforward check-in/out process, made for a very pleasant stay. I would certainly recommend this guesthouse to others looking for a comfortable and convenient base to explore the wonders of Osaka.

Excellent facilities and very clean. The atmosphere is lovely, and the service is great. It's nice and quiet inside the hostel. I loved meeting people from different countries. The young staff at the front desk were all super friendly and easy to talk to.

the staff were very friendly and informative and my room was clean. Room came with a hairdryer, 2 towels, private bathroom/shower and a refrigerator. This is the best &Hostel I have stayed at in Japan. If I’m ever back in the area I will be staying here again! 8min walk to the train station, 30min to Dotonbori, multiple convenience stores within 5 min or less walk. The ONLY complaint for me is my room was quite cramped with my luggage & other things. Maybe a storage shelf or something would help.

Honestly, the hotel is quite nice. It's larger than expected, and the balcony is super convenient for drying clothes. It even has a separate washing machine and microwave. It was the best hotel in this price range during my entire trip to Japan. I'd definitely stay there again. It's also close to nearby attractions, especially Kuromon Market. While there aren't many good restaurants there, it's very convenient for strolling around. Also, a word of advice: arrive at Universal Studios around 8:00 AM! All rides are single-passenger, so you can't miss out on a day. Don't listen to those who try to create anxiety; they're just marketing trolls trying to sell you something. (Except for the Gorilla Coaster, which wasn't very fun either.)
