Hotels Near Shinkoji in Osaka

My first stay during my first trip to Japan. It was Spring 2018. I was excited because my little room was a tatami floored room. The small room was a basic room for two guests. There was only one plug point to charge our many electrical gadgets, so oh boy im glad i brought along a plug socket with 4-5 outlets. The room was too small for even the two small Asians like us. we have no place to put our backpacks (there were only two bags but) once we spread the futons. This small room actually suitable for a single guest. The bathrooms and toilets are normally clean for Japanese standards. You have to pay separate charge for your towels. Our room situated on the 4 or 5th floor i cant remember but there was only one floor for lady's bathroom - the hostel got about 40 to 50 rooms but there are only 2-3 bathrooms for ladies to share. I woke up very early to take bath but was very disappointing to see the long queue of Japanese female workers who unable to go home and slept here for the night. Imagine the long hours i have to wait to get my turn. sometimes i tried to go to another level to try the unisex bathrooms but they were definitely full with guys. The pantry on the ground floor offered hot water with 3-in-1 drinks. there are vending machines for you to buy mineral water or soda or sweet drinks. The walls between the room are super thin and you can hear everything loud and clear. The door is made of steel so when someone close it with a bang it can be very annoying. Well we were kind of grateful (feeling console?) that the room got a mini fridge. And that the hostel is near to the train station. I'm coming back to Osaka soon but nope, I'm not going to coming back to this hostel just to get myself headaches for the bathrooms. The friend who booked this hostel for us thought we wanted the cheapest room in Osaka and she never asked us about the quality of the service. Well this is the negative side of coming to Japan in Spring i guess. Everything comes in expensive price.

Hotel in Osaka, Nishinari. Still new and clean. It is convenient to walk from Shin Imamiya Station. Stay in a single room for 3000 yen per night. Foreign guests stood out. The room is flooring with a narrow bed and a very small table and small ＴＶ and a refrigerator and spotlight and trash can. Toilet is joint. One floor (about 20 rooms). Since the wash is only one place in the toilet, it is inconvenient for toothbrushing or face washing. If it is crowded, it becomes a procession, and it becomes worried about the cheek. I left before 6 o'clock in the early morning, so there was no problem. The bath has a large bath and a shower room. Somehow, the large bath passes from the location pattern and the atmosphere with many foreigners and uses the shower. It is a negative point that I heard the voice from the surrounding room well, but it is 〇 with price and convenience.

I wish that I can lie about this hotel, saying all services are bad , so I can continue to enjoy lower price and availability when I’m back. Worth every penny I paid. Shower is good and room is nice enough for the price, cheap mattress but surprisingly comfortable, good bedding covers up all the insufficient, I will book again if I am in the area, and thank you to let me borrow the umbrella !

I didn't receive an email with my room number or check-in information on the day, so I called the hotel and managed to check in. When I asked through chat, they told me to check the reservation page, so I wondered if I could still check in. I was worried.

We stayed at Hotel Taiyo, I do see a lot of people posting positive reviews for Hotel Toyo here, that is a diffrent hotel and definitely not this one. The hotel is outdated, run down and in desperate need of renovation. The tile are old, worn and look like they have never been properly cleaned or waxed. The furniture is shabby and uncomfortable the bed springs where so prominent it left my hips and ankles aching. Our first night we went out and bought ourselves pillows as the ones here are unusable. There was also only one plug in the room so we had to spend even more for a power bar. The whole place was filthy with dirt and dust visible in every corner. The towels were dirty, and the bathroom was again unclean and permanently smelled of piss our whole stay. The amount of dust in the vents were slightly alarming from a safety standpoint. We also had major issues with internet 90% of the time. If you need internet for work you are SOL. The staff was professional and friendly, and the overall customer service was the only redeeming quality The location was great close the the main line station and the JR line. Overall, the hotel fell way below expectations and was a terrible experience that I would not recommend to anyone

B&B: 100% clean, basically like brand new, disposable quilt cover, pillowcase, bath towel, slippers, very reassuring😌 Facilities: washing machine, cooking utensils, refrigerator, hair dryer, USB sockets are complete👍🏻 Location: It’s about a 15-minute walk from Tennoji Station. If you can walk, you can go through the Omall shopping mall. The entire journey is covered and you won’t be too exposed to the sun at all👍🏻 The disadvantage is: I live on the second floor, there is no elevator, the stairs and walkways are relatively narrow, and it is difficult to lift luggage up and down 😂 Everything else is very good, I will stay again👍🏻

I stayed at this hotel because Aikata participated in the Osaka marathon. There is a deep shop around the hotel that can eat cheap and delicious things. If you use the hotel, you can enter and exit the hotel after checking in. The hotel has a different entrance and exit from the facility user, but you have to take off your shoes. Take your shoes to geta box and store them and walk barefoot in the hotel. Is the room simple and business hotel? However, the bed comfort was the best. There was also UB, but there was a large hot spring facility, so I didn't use the bus in the room. I was booked for one night, but this city was too fun to stay for another night. I negotiated and luckily I had a vacancy, so I ended up staying overnight.

The owner was nice and there were a lot of Koreans, so I had a great time. A lot of information is shared! Tsutenkagu Tower is right in front, so if you use the Osaka Pass, you can take the slider in the morning, which is great. The Geha party was also fun :)

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.

Good location, just less than 10min walk away from the main street of shinsaibashi. Affordable hotel breakfast and there is free drinks everyday that can refill
