Homestays in Osaka Prefecture, Japan

I had a lovely stay at Jakotel. I booked for 5 nights and it was one of the best hostel experiences I have ever had. It is not a social hostel but there is a small hangout area on the 2nd floor. The hostel is strategically located in a quiet area of Namba - super close to the subway, kuromon market, and the bustling area of dotonbori. It is also walking distance to many tourist attractions, and there is a laundromat closeby. I'd definitely stay again in the future.

Staff impressions: Matter of fact, good command of english, helpful. Room amenities: we stayed in a Japanese style room. It felt *very* recently updated. Tatami was fresh, wood looked new, en suite bathroom was very modern. Had a TV, mini-fridge, safe, microwave, induction cooktop (but no pans). Beds were futons, clean, new, pretty typical in terms of comfort. Ductless heater/AC. Room oddities, if you're not from Japan or haven't traveled in Japan before: 1) The lights/AC/power will not turn on until you drop your key in a slot on the wall by the door. 2) There is a panel on the wall that has a number in Celsius. This is the temperature control for the how tater heater for your bathroom. If you don't turn this on before your shower you won't get hot water! :) 3) The overhead light *can* be turned off at night. One of the remote controls in the room is the controller for the overhead light. Don't take your key out to turn off the light, it'll kill your AC/heat. 4) The level of service you typically receive in a Japanese hotel room like all linens replaced every day, bathroom stuff (toothbrush, toothpaste, soaps, shoes, etc.) being replaced, etc. will not happen. Didn't bother me as I don't care for that but it might be off putting if you're used to it but the price is great. 5) Ductless AC/heater is controlled with a remote control. Location: About 900m to the closest train station which can be a haul with your bags. Super close to Nippombashi which was a big selling point for us. Kinda on a side street so quiet and empty at night.

We came here with two people and had a very good stay. First, after visiting Shinsaibashi, we will pass through the very lively Dotonbori to the hotel. There are many delicious foods when we come back at night and leave in the morning. There is no front desk, and you can pick up the key on the first floor. The store has WeChat, and we can communicate in Chinese. The attitude is quite good. This seems to be a converted civilian house. The room is very spacious. It was the most comfortable stay when traveling in Japan. Attached is the video. In short, if two Chinese people go to travel, it is highly recommended to stay here.

First of all, the location is great. It's right in front of Dotonbori and in the center, so it's convenient. You can also leave your luggage in advance! I made a reservation when there were no reviews, but contrary to my worries, the staff were very friendly and the facilities were good. They explained things very well and responded quickly to inquiries! Next time I go to Osaka, I'll definitely make a reservation again. The price is reasonable and it's a place I want to keep to myself. Thanks to them, I had a fun and comfortable trip:)

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 :)

The location is close to the Saiya Bridge, the room is comfortable, the price/performance ratio is high, the check-in is self-service, which is good, saving the check-in time

The location is OK, one stop away from Shinsaibashi, and the bus is very convenient. The room is very clean, with an induction cooker and pot, a refrigerator, and a microwave, so you can cook something. The shower and toilet are separate, and the toilet is in a separate cabin. It has a small balcony, and the glass door of this balcony is not soundproof. The sound of various cars outside is a bit noisy at night, racing cars, ambulances, fire trucks, and police cars are humming one by one... I am a light sleeper, and the noise makes me sleep poorly. Ctrip's customer service is very good, and they reply to any questions in a timely manner, which makes me feel very at ease. At first, I couldn't open the door by pressing the password, and the customer service was very patient to help communicate. Later, I suddenly found the building number on the wall at the lower left corner of the building entrance, and then I realized that I had gone to the wrong place.

We stayed for a few nights in a western style room. It was a really handy location. Not too noisy and close to the train station. You can easily get to pretty much anywhere from JR Shin-Imamiya and it’s only a 15 minute walk from the hotel. Also very close to a big Donquijote! The room was comfy and there is plenty of space compared to other places we stayed in Japan. The staff were brilliant and really welcoming, although it’s not a 24 hour desk but that didn’t cause us any problems. The rooms were more like apartments really but that was perfect for us. Probably if you’re looking for a hotel (with room service and daily housekeeping etc) this is not the place for you. But if you’re after something a bit more self catering like we were then this place is perfect. Our room had a little kitchenette with a fridge and microwave, which was helpful. The rooms are clean and comfy and we had a really pleasant stay. We would definitely stay again if were in Osaka. A note about the area: I was a bit nervous at first about booking a hotel in this part of Osaka because of some of the reviews I had read online, but it turned out that there was absolutely no need for any concern. Sure it’s not the fanciest part of town but, applying Western European standards, it would probably be thought fairly average. I probably would not have ventured south of Shin-Imamiya on my own but the hotel is to the north, towards Namba, so walking to and from the station at both day and night was no problem.

It is very close to the Osaka Aquarium. The Ferris wheel at the intersection overlooks the Osaka Port. The location is easy to find. It is also very convenient for sightseeing boats to reach Universal Studios. The Japanese-style tatami is very clean, the bathroom is large and clean, although it is on the side of the road, it is very quiet. Osaka Aquarium

I forgot to take pictures. The room is very big, twice as big as the three-star hotel I stayed in Japan. It is very suitable for a family trip! The boss is from Northeast China and is very nice! Next time I go to Osaka for an in-depth tour! I have to stay a few more days!

Very close to the station. Convenient to the airport. Very cost-effective

Staying only has to be with another family. . No waiting for showering problems. . There are many brushing positions. . 5.6. So clean. . . Does not make a dispute. . . I have not waited for the toilet. Maybe always off-season. Mid-May breakfast. I think it can. No other people said about Qizheng. But you can try family breakfast. Couples and daughters run a small shop together. . Always stay for one night. . . So clean. . Couples and daughters are very hospitable. However, staying on the 2nd floor to carry luggage. The parking lot is next to the hotel. . To the left. The host family will take you to park. Originally, e was trained as soon as I entered the room rm. Point to know the left living room with the training room. Right. . . Remember the room rm of the shadow bed, but good. And neat. . .

This is a hostel in a homestay. The rooms are actually clean and the public areas are good. A few hundred meters from Nankai tram Izumi-Sano station. Disadvantages: first, it is far from the residence to Ole, two or three kilometers, not half an hour; second, the homestay is self-check-in, but I did not receive the check-in method and The password was repeatedly urged by Ctrip before the homeowner sent the message. As a result, the next day outside the homestay, it was found that the guest in the other room did not receive the check-in password, and waited stupidly. Fortunately, there were Chinese people cleaning the room. I hope the host can pay attention to this. But after they confirmed our identity, they helped us get our luggage into the house so that we could go shopping easily! This is a bonus.

I was a little uncomfortable at first Except for that, location ㆍ Cleanliness ㆍ I am satisfied If it was the direction to see the sunrise I'd love it. Five minutes from the station. Okonomiyaki ㆍ Takoyaki ㆍ Orco Pizza Restaurant ㆍ MATSUGEN SMEGIAL Mart was cheap and varied, so there was no inconvenience to use ~ It was a short trip of two nights and three days. I rest well Now, I'm going back. Kadakana Through information and receipts related to the schedule on this trip I'm going to study Japanese. Memories with the Middle Three Adds Five stars are enough. Prosper. Healthy ^^ ~

It was close to Rinku Town Station and it was convenient because I had a morning flight. It felt like I was at my grandma's house, which was a nostalgic feeling. Some parts are a little old, but it was clean and there were no problems with the stay. This time, the room was on the second floor, but the stairs were narrow and it was a bit difficult to get my large suitcase up and down. I'll add this to my requests next time.

Very nice place to stay, near supermarket and station.

Let’s talk about the advantages first. It really feels like home. I have experienced the atmosphere of Japanese life in ancient times. The decoration is beautiful and the sanitation is very clean. It is difficult to clean up a building. There is no need to register, and it is convenient for the landlord to leave the key. The only drawback is that it is difficult to drive a car. The road inside is very narrow and difficult to drive. It is a 15-minute walk from the station, which is great.

The room we got was a double futon on the east room upstair, as we love the traditional Japanese style. The small space has all the convenient with shared space in common area, small kitchen, bathroom and washer and dryer in the same room. Everything were tidy and functionally used all the space avail. Great water pressure and temp for the shower. The host thought of everything and provided every information avail for us tourist to use. Distance is not too far from Rinku-town station. Only cons (out of everyone control) the stair leading to the station has no elevator, which will be challenging for people with large suitcase. We are light traveler, which is not too bad for our case. Overall, great little space and affordable, short ride to Kansai Airport and save time traveling to the airport, which is a great plus since security check in at Kansai may take up to 90 mins to get through.

For this apartment, the most impressed is the landlord. We may have three or four apartments in Japan. This is the only landlord we met who can speak Chinese, and the Chinese is quite slippery, so there is no communication. What a big obstacle, it is also very pleasant to get along with. It is a relatively comfortable and satisfying check-in experience. If it is not because the travel plan is arranged in advance, I really want to stay here for a while before leaving.

Convenient stay, Japanese bed, affordable, convenient transportation.

It was so good. The door was unusual, but it was so good It was nice that the boss was bright.
