Hotels near Hokoku-Jinjamae (Bus stop), Osaka

I stayed at an APA hotel the day before, and this hotel the next day. The location is right next to Tanimachi 4-chome Station Exit 4, so it was easy to find. The next morning, I was able to get a one-coin breakfast within walking distance, so I felt that there were plenty of restaurants. (There are 5-6 cafes, and some chain restaurants.) I left my luggage at the front desk, and when I tried to check in at night, I was told that my luggage had already been brought to my room, which was a nice touch. The front desk is also clean. However, the room was quite different from the photos on this site (Trip.com), and it felt quite old. The key was not a card type, but an old-fashioned ”key.” There were not many outlets, so it was quite difficult for two people to charge their smartphones and SLR cameras, use the hair dryer, and use the kettle. I also felt that it would be nice if they had amenities such as lotion and milk. There was a robe (pajamas) in the room, but it was in a place where you couldn't find it unless you looked for it, so I thought it would have been more considerate if they had placed it on the bed. Also, when I knocked over a chair in the room, I noticed that the side of the chair was covered in dust... My hands got covered in dust when I tried to stand up the chair that had fallen over... It's good that there is an ice machine, but it would be more helpful if they had one on each floor, like the nearby Hotel Lutheran. If that's not possible, I think it would be nice if they at least provided mineral water bottles or a water server. (The hotel I stayed at the night before served welcome drinks until 5am and had all-you-can-drink tea, so it was very helpful for refilling my water bottle after taking a bath or right after waking up.) It would have been more helpful if the hanger rack was made into a hook type so that I could hang not only hangers but also hats. It was inconvenient because I couldn't hang hats or backpacks, and it was a little inconvenient because it was right at the entrance...

It only takes ten minutes to walk south from the Mori-nomiya train/subway station. Traveling is very convenient. Osaka Castle Park is nearby. The appearance of the hotel is quite new. There are several sets of tables and chairs in a large area opposite the front desk on the first floor, which makes it feel comfortable. Although the room is not big, it has enough space. It is clean and tidy. Although it is small, it is fully equipped with TV, WiFi, small refrigerator, hair dryer, hot water bottle and tea. There is a self-service washing machine on the first floor and a convenience store is next door. . Nice little hotel👍👍

the service of the hotel is great. staff are polite, gentle and helpful. Some extra daily necessities are available, like comb, body scrub towel, facial cleanser, in case you forget to bring yours. the local is very very convenient, walkable distance to Osaka museum and Osaka Castle. Of course you can take the metro as well. Aeon supermarket is just 3 mins walk. Fresh fruit, sushi, sashima, beverage, bakery are availble. I wil stay in this hotel again when I come to Osaka in the next trip.

This hotel is not bad and also looks new. The downside is they don’t have laundromat. However there is a l laundry shop nearby  Even though the front desk doesn’t really speak English, but they are really nice with the positive attitude unlike the Via Inn hotel near shinsaibashi I will come again next time. 

You don't have to worry about traveling to different places. Because it's close to the subway and also close to the most popular shopping areas. Polite service staff, clean rooms and there is a laundry room as well, very convenient.

The room is clean. Just alittle small and there is no view from the window. Overall, great service from the staff and just 8 mins walk from Shinsaibashi MRT

Sotetsu Grand Fresa Osaka Namba offered a phenomenal location along with beyond satisfactory amenities. To start, I must mention that the room was more spacious than some of the other hotels I have been to. The bathroom was clean and well furnished and I had no trouble controlling the temperature in the room or the shower. In addition, their breakfast, served buffet style, was rather satisfactory. Primarily, the buffet was split into two broad categories of ”Western” and Japanese cuisine. The Japanese side offered classics such as udon, rice, miso soup, and tofu, while the ”Western” side offered an assortment of breads, corn soup, and pancakes. I say Western with quotation marks as I would imagine most people from Europe or North America would consider the fares offered a far cry from that which they are familiar. Besides that, it is also worth noting that the buffet would cycle between multiple different options on a daily basis to prevent people staying multiple days from getting bored of consuming the same dishes daily. Other than the hotel's facilities, it is also important to draw attention to the location of the hotel. The hotel has a wide array of different restaurants to visit and is located close to both Dotonbori and the subway. This subway is rather convenient as it offers easy access to most areas of interest in Osaka. It is also imperative for me to mention here that there is a convenience store located basically next to the hotel which is, as the name would suggest, quite convenient. In addition, for those who are into anime, the hotel is walking distance fron Dendenmachi. Overall the experience was pleasant. The only issue if I had to say was that there was a high density of people in the hotels vicinity. This issue is further exacerbated on holidays, but this should only pose an issue to some people.

Excellent location - accessible to all JR and subways. So convenient to move from place to place like Nara, Kobe and Kyoto. It’s a pity that it’s closing in Jan 2025. I don’t mind staying at the same hotel if I’m going to Osakaz

The room is clean yet small. The TV can connect to mobile phone through WiFi which is nice. The front desk staffs are nice and friendly. Checkin and checkout smoothly. Bathroom is clean. Water pressure is perfect for shower, yet you might have to wait for hot water for about 30s when you first time using it. Hot water is hot enough. Overall good, just the location is a little bit far, still walkable distance, 10mins from Osaka station.

We arrived earlier than the check in time, and are able to drop off the luggages at the reception and come back later for check in for free. The staff can speak multiple languages, (Japanese, English, Chinese,etc) able to communicate without any problem. Room is very clean and cleaning service is provided each day. Location is close to Nanba. Very convenient. Close to a metro station as well, easy to locate. Would recommend.
