Hotel Dengan Spa di Osaka Prefecture, Japan

When we first arrived, we went through the wrong entrance, and the front desk staff came down to meet us. The location is excellent; you just cross a pedestrian bridge outside and you're at the subway station. The service was fantastic. We were even more pleasantly surprised when we entered the room—it's definitely a very spacious room for Japan. We had no problem opening all three of our suitcases. The room facilities are very comprehensive. Every day, housekeeping cleaned the room thoroughly and replenished everything. We will definitely stay at this hotel again next time we visit Osaka.

My partner said the hotel offered the best breakfast out of our three nights in Japan. It had a great variety of both Western and Asian dishes. I joined the first session of the premium lounge in the evening. I was pleasantly surprised by the curation of different side dishes to pair with wine, cocktails, sake, and more. It’s a bit unfortunate that access is limited to one hour, but I understand the policy. The public bath was good, though the women’s bath was missing a Finnish sauna. The steam sauna also had a slight smell. The staff were very kind and kept our luggage until the evening before we caught our bus.

The location is excellent, very convenient. It's about 300 meters from the subway station, and the airport shuttle bus stop is just a few minutes walk across the street from the hotel – you'll know you're there when you see the sumo statue. Shinsaibashi shopping district is also just a few blocks away. However, the breakfast doesn't offer bread or toast; instead, there are several kinds of kimchi, perhaps because Korean guests are the main demographic. They provide forks but no knives for meals. The hot spring is a definite plus and a great amenity.

I stayed at Dormy Inn Premium Osaka Kitahama for 3 nights and had a very good experience. The hotel is in a convenient location, only a short walk from Kitahama station. Rooms are not big, but they are clean, quiet, and comfortable. The best part is the public bath with onsen and sauna, which is perfect after a day of walking around Osaka. Breakfast is tasty with both Japanese and Western choices, though it can feel a bit repetitive if you stay several days. Staff are professional and polite, always ready to help. Overall, this hotel offers great value for money. I would definitely stay here again when visiting Osaka.

Dormy Inn is always a top choice for us when we travel to Japan. Practically every time we visit, we first check the location and prices of Dormy Inn hotels. We've stayed at this specific hotel and its chain many times. The hotel offers smoking rooms, microwaves, ice machines, a laundry room, and natural hot springs. On the first floor, there's a beverage bar where you can help yourself to coffee, matcha, and chocolate drinks. Toiletries like toothbrushes, toothpaste, and combs are also readily available. You can pack light when traveling here; the hotel truly takes care of guests' needs very well. The complimentary soy sauce ramen served from 9:30 PM to 11 PM is also quite tasty; they don't skimp on quality just because it's free, it's consistently good. We'll definitely prioritize staying at this hotel again on our future trips to Japan.

The Imperial is quite nice. It was the last few days of the Expo back then, so it was super crowded, and the price was a bit higher because of that. The view from the executive lounge was still pretty good. I don't speak Japanese or English, and it took a while to get breakfast delivered to the room. The service was still good though; you could ask the front desk to help call a taxi when you left. They even gave me a welcome gift on my first stay. When I went out, there was a doll on the bed, and when the housekeeper cleaned the room, she propped it up against the headboard for me, which was super cute ☺️. The view outside the room window was also good.

1. The location and value for money are superb! It's just a 5-10 minute walk to Shinsaibashi, Daimaru, and Dotonbori, making it incredibly convenient. 2. The airport shuttle bus stop is right next door. 3. While the room isn't huge, it's perfectly adequate for a family with children, and there's still enough space to open your suitcases comfortably. 4. The 2F onsen (hot spring bath) is spotless and fully equipped. Be sure to remove your shoes before entering, and note that you'll need to bring your own towel. It's pure bliss to relax in the onsen after a day of sightseeing! They also offer complimentary ice cream and a late-night snack.

We used this hotel to go to Universal Studios Japan as a gift for our child's graduation. Access from the nearest station wasn't very good, so it was a bit of a hassle to get around when we were tired, but there was a large public bath so we were able to relieve our fatigue, which was great. The room was clean and there was a convenience store nearby, so it was convenient. The front desk staff were kind and the service was very good. We will use this hotel again. Thank you for giving us fond memories!

Locals don’t usually come here to sleep — they come to wash, relax, and go through the full spa ritual. There are three types of steam rooms, a circular shower, and three baths: two hot ones at around 41°C, and one cold shock bath at around 11°C. You dip in and instantly feel alive. One unique feature — every hour they run a group steam ritual, like a collective massage & heat therapy session. Very Japanese, and surprisingly affordable. Definitely worth trying. There’s also an inexpensive breakfast option, plus vending machines with food and drinks right inside — very convenient. Overall, it’s a men-only vibe: arrive, clean up, relax, reset, and go about your day. The capsule is just a bonus on top of the sauna experience. They give you clothing — not a robe, but loose Japanese pants and an oversized T-shirt. You get your own locker, bedding and clothes are changed daily, and the bathrooms have literally everything: toothbrush, toothpaste, gels, shampoo… even nail clippers. You don’t need to bring anything. Location is fantastic — right next to Dotonbori. Step outside and you’re instantly in the heart of Osaka’s nightlife and energy. Downsides? A strict checkout — you must leave at 10:00 AM, and check-in starts only after 3:00 PM. If you want to stay during that gap, it’s around 300 yen per hour, or ~900 yen for the day. Still — great experience. I always wanted to try a real Japanese capsule stay. Inside the capsule there’s a TV, radio, adjustable lights, and AC — though it blasts pretty strongly, so I turned it off.

The location just one min away from JR Namba train station and hotel airport shuttle bus…superb convenience. 10mins walk to the busy Dodontori shopping & food streets. But Japan seems not many vegetarian, no proper vegetarian cafe accept may be some cafe or restaurants are selling one or two vegan dishes! Just have to adjust accordingly for myself!
