Hotels Near Shimaiya in Osaka

When checking in, it was a bit confusing to use the code to unlock the key and then use the key to unlock the lobby door again. However, if you have any problems, you can contact the staff via email. They are quick to respond and very helpful. The location of the accommodation is a bit far from the train station. It takes about 8-10 minutes to walk. There is a Lawson on the left and a Family Mart on the right. When walking back and forth every day, it doesn't feel that far. However, there is a train passing in front of the accommodation, so you can hear the train passing all the time. However, earplugs are provided. The room is spacious and not stuffy. The bed is big and comfortable. There is a refrigerator, stove, kettle and microwave. There are glasses, plates, cups, spoons and forks. The bathroom is separated into wet and dry zones. There is a toothbrush and toothpaste, but the toothbrush is very small and hard. It is recommended to bring your own. There is a washing machine in the bathroom, no dryer, but there is a clothesline outside the balcony. There are 7-8 hangers. There is a hair dryer in the bathroom. There is a small trash can in the bathroom with spare trash bags. There is also another trash can in the bedroom. Trash can be thrown together in one bag and thrown away in the large trash can in front of the apartment. There is no cleaning during the stay. However, there is a drawer in the lobby with various items such as towels, trash bags, toothbrushes, irons and vacuum cleaners. If you need anything, you can take it. There are several 2-prong sockets (flat double pins) in the room. You can charge multiple phones or power banks at the same time. Overall, I like it very much. I feel that it is private, quiet, and not too crowded. Apart from the sound of the train, I can't hear any other noise.

The hotel is located near the Nankai tram and JR Imashingu Station, and the subway's Dobutsuen-mae Station. The transportation is very convenient, about a 5-minute walk. The overall environment of the hotel is very clean and the space is large. It is a good choice. A few disadvantages are that there are often trams passing by, which are quite loud. At the same time, there are few people on the balcony, so there is a lot of dust.

Definitely this won’t be my last trip to Osaka and this hotel will be my only option for my return to Osaka Location, Space, Cleanliness, Staff all aspects are tick box Walking distance to tram where I can access to this lovely temple without much tourist and Namba as well for this super affordable yakiniku

Spend two days in Osaka. Good location walking distance to dontobori. Nearby have. Very nice ramen shop The wall can be a bit thin as we can heard the music from nearby night club

Located in the heart of dotonburi, just a street across the main dontonburi street. Hotel is located opposite the Korean embassy, so security is good in the area. We arrived at the hotel earlier than check in time but they allowed us to check into our rooms. This hotel receives many guests, there were multiple other groups checking in at the same time as my group. Staff also speaks limited English, but was able to communicate with them using google translate. Front counter is at level 1, with a bar counter right beside. Level 2 is a lounge area, with seats and even a pool table! Gym is also located at level 2. Shared washing machines were located at level 15, but guests are required to collect a key to enter the laundry room from the front desk. Rooms were of decent size, but lighting was slightly dark in my opinion. The shampoo, body soaps, hand wash were great, I loved the smell of it!

One of the best hotels I’ve stayed in, very value for money! Will not hesitate to stay here again if I visit Osaka again. Location super convenient; quick walk from Shinsaibashi station, right beside the Shinsaibashi shopping street, so there’s a ton of food and shopping options nearby. Easy check in; you have to collect all your amenities at the lobby. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are fantastic; very clean, well-equipped and well-designed (love the toilet!). There’s also vending machines and coin laundry machines on several floors of the hotel.

The hotel is so nice and clean. I booked a room for one person in a reasonable price. Even though the bathroom is small, it wasn’t a problem for me. I still love it anyways. The room is not big but stayable. The bed and blanket is so comfy. to be honest, I love it so much that I don’t want to leave this place. I love the fact that the hotel is quite near Sakaisuji-Hommachi station. Alternatively, I could also walk to Namba for only half an hour. Plus I’m really in love with the big supermarket near the hotel. The staffs are also nice and could be able to speak English. Overall, I would totally recommend this place to other people and I would totally stay here again if I have a chance to go back to Osaka!

The best thing about Tokyu Stay was its location right next to the metro and also its en suite washing machine. The hotel doesn’t clean your room daily if you book it for 7 days or more. So for my 10 day trip, they only cleaned it once, which wasn’t great. The rest of the days only had changes in towels.  Also the housekeeping was not very attentive. I had 3 people staying in the room and only had 2 towels (I had an infant with me). And every day when replacing the towels they only gave me two, for 10 days straight even when I asked housekeeping for an additional towel every single day. This lack of initiative isn’t great either.  Overall, it is cheap for its location and also for its amenities (the washing machine). Besides that, the service and housekeeping isn’t top class but given the price, nothing much to complain.

We have vacation during new year holiday in Osaka, we really enjoy our time here. The hotel locates in very good location it’s very close to subway just 5 minutes walking distance. The room is very clean and the hotel staffs are very kind and nice service mind. We really appreciated this hotel ;)
