Tokyu Stay Osaka Honmachi

The best hotel so far that we stayed in during our Osaka trip. Room was clean amenities was great. Very near to metro and check in was smooth too!! Only dwnside is japanese hotels only provide 1 pillow each and its really small. Hahaah. But other then that it was a great stay. Will definitely stay here again when we visit osaka again.

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.

The hotel is near to the station, but the toilet is a bit smell and it cannot be stopped.

The staffs are friendly and the washing machine was super helpful. Checkout process is quick and easy. The room is 19 m^2, big enough to allow me to open up my luggage on the floor. However, I don’t think the room is cleaned entirely before my check-in. There are some stuffs on floor and dust at the corner.

Location is about a 10 minute walk to the nearest station. Amendities are sufficient and the environment is clean. There are vending machines and a washing machine on the lower floors. Its a nice place to stay for solo travellers and is relatively near to dotonburi area. There are also multiple convenience stores in the area.

It was not a pleasant stay at all - the hotel offers a thorough clean-up ONLY IF the group of guests stay at the hotel for at least six nights. What kind of a hotel does that? My family and I stayed at the hotel for four nights and what we were given was a so called “limited clean up” service per day, in which we were barely given a new set of towels and trash bin being emptied. There were three adults staying at the room and I truly believe it only makes sense if the hotel offers a thorough clean up at least every two - three days. We were paying for a proper hotel stay - not an AIRBNB - how come there was no thorough clean up for four days in a row for a hotel? Was it what I supposed to receive when I paid a couple thousand dollars for a hotel stay? Honestly speaking, I couldn’t imagine myself staying at this hotel ever again. What I found online about the hotel before my trip was the enjoyable accomodation this hotel has to offer - what I turned out receiving was pure disappointment.
