Hotels Near Tonbori River Cruise in Osaka

Everything is similar to the photos and reviews, good location (5 minutes walk from the subway), large space, complete facilities (kitchen, refrigerator, wet and dry separation, shower + bathtub) The only problem was that I didn't receive the check-in code after booking, and I didn't know that there was no counter reception for self-service check-in. I had to borrow a phone from a nearby hotel and call Trip customer service to ask for assistance. Haoyuan customer service dealt with it immediately and tried their best to eliminate obstacles.

Convenient transportation, right outside the Kintetsu Nihonbashi, five minutes walk to Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi, 10 minutes to Namba Station and Takashimaya, many restaurants nearby, everything you can eat. The space is decent, with a kitchen and living room.

We booked the quadplets room that comes with 2 queen beds. It’s fully equipped. Would be better if washing machine has drying option. Limited space to eat in the room as only a small tea table and a small couch provided. Overall still a pleasant stay. Location wise is very convenient, very closed to Dotonburi and Shinsaibashi shopping street . As we need to depart for very early flight in the morning, this apt is perfect for a short walk to Nankai-Namba station, about 7mins walk. Staff is quick to response and clarify via chat when we didn’t know how to retrieve our room key & had issue with slow wifi connection. All solved promptly. 👍🏻

In general, the stay is quite pleasant. The room is spacious enough for a family of four. However, make sure you get the key box password to obtain the room key, which they did not enclose in their email. We were stranded at mid night as we were arriving late, and without password to retrieve the room key. Luckily someone still responded from the main door notice, with the help of translation apps, we finally managed to check in at 1am. This happened to a couple next day staying next to us......

I heard from a friend that it is better to stay in a Japanese B&B when traveling in Japan, but when I confirmed the itinerary, I found that many B&Bs were booked. Finally, I found that there was still a No. 4 store. I saw two 1.5-meter beds, which was quite suitable for our family to travel. I looked at the comments in the comment area for 23 years and found that it was decorated, and some said that the environment was poor. In the end, I chose to book 10 nights. When I arrived at the hotel, I was shocked. Sure enough, it was still under renovation. The outdoor area was a mess. There was no access control downstairs, which was similar to the resettlement housing in the old community in China. I suddenly felt depressed and anxious. I didn’t know what to do in a foreign country, so I could only stay reluctantly. It was still very convenient to check in, and it was relatively clean inside, but it was really crowded, very crowded, and very dark. Friends who like sunshine should not choose this. After putting down the suitcase, there was no place for my feet. After staying for 6 nights, I found a very serious smell of spray paint. I saw that there was indeed a worker painting outside, and there was a big fan plugged in outside the door of our room 24 hours a day. It was really terrible. In China, this house cannot be used for commercial purposes, right? Because I was pregnant, I communicated the situation to Ctrip and they coordinated to change my stay to another store. The Namba store is not bad, like a hotel, clean and tidy, with complete electrical appliances, plenty of sunshine, convenient for drying clothes, and close to the subway entrance, so it is very convenient for free travel every day. I took pictures for your reference. The front one is the actual situation of store No. 4, and the back one is the changed one.

Convenient transportation, complete facilities, but the building is a bit shabby, the interior is good, the bed is also very soft

The location isn’t as near to Nippombashi as it claims to be. Getting there at night was challenging as it was through dark alleys that were strewn with garbage. Once the accomodation was located, the room was clean and bright and had all the necessary amenities that it advertised. The owner was friendly and helpful and all information required to check in was sent in an email after confirmation. Not suitable if you are travelling with large suitcases. If you are using the futon, you’ll have to make it up yourself. Then there will be no more room left to open your bags.

The price is satisfactory to me. There are convenience stores and drug stores around, which is very convenient.

Hotel is short distance from Shinsaibashi metro station. Really easy to travel via the midosuji lines. Exit from exit 2 from the metro station (exit 1 is under construction when I was there). Plenty of food options along the street and hotel is also really close to dotonburi. Rooms are clean enough for 2 pax in a room. However for big groups booking multiple rooms, do take note that for moderate twin rooms, there is only 1 room per level. So for my booking of 4 rooms, we were spread out in 4 levels. There were a total 5 washing machines with dryer functions in this hotel. Staff were friendly but they speak limited English. Luggage locker room is self service on level 1. IC card is used to lock and unlock the locks.

When checking in/out, if you take the Rapid from the airport, it's a 15-minute walk from Ninkai Namba Station, so the location is not bad for the price. And it's only a 5-minute walk to Namba Station, so it's a less crowded subway station, which is nice. And the room was clean and nice. I recommend it. It's especially suitable for people like me who have a short schedule.
