Best Three Star Hotels in Osaka

The location is unbeatable, multiple convenience stores around, 7-10min walk to Dotonburi and various stations, lots of restaurants and quiet streets at night time. The hotel also has a cafeteria with free tea, water, melon soda, coca cola and other refreshments that are available 24/7. The room itself is simple but very comfortable and has everything you could need. Rooms are cleaned daily and amenities replenished too, even if you opt out of cleaning by sticking a ”Do not clean” magnet on the door, they then put everything in a bag and hang it on the handle. The staff is mostly professional, speak decent English and the check-in/out process was easy. Where it loses points is due to the following: On one of our big days out exploring, we came back to the hotel at around 8PM. The Front Lobby was filled with a big and disorganised Chinese group/family of 12-16 people who were scattered throughout the lobby. They did not all have a hotel key card, I know this because there was an employee by the escalator using his key on the elevator to send up them to their rooms. So my girlfriend and I got our keys out, got to the front of the other elevator and showed our cards as a way of gesturing if we could go up. The employee rejected us and we got the idea that we had to wait. Now I don't know about you, but I don't see why I need to wait for something that isn't my problem. Their lobby was littered and the tourists were being loud and screaming at eachother from across the room. We were not going to wait. Line them up in front of one elevator and use the other one for people who are entering and exiting, and if no one is entering and exiting, then let them use both elevators. Such unprofessionalism. We decided to leave and go for a walk and kill time at the local convienience store, but it definitely ruined our day and experience with the hotel. Another reason is I asked if they could make a restaurant reservation on my behalf, the bird cafe that I wanted to go to had a registration and booking process that was not friendly for tourists. It required me to write my Japanese Name for some reason, as well as phone number. The hotel said they could not make such reservations for me. I ended up walking in and was lucky it was a weekday and it wasn't as packed. Also be sure to check how many adults is listed on the room you plan to book, I didn't check properly and mine said 1 Adult, even though it fits 2 and the amenities were stocked for 2, this mistake of mine cost me 14,000yen (2000yen a day) because I had my girlfriend with me.

Things have been different after covid there are good and bad about the hotel after 2 years since my last stay. Breakfast was still good but not as good as before. And the supper curry rice no longer supply. But there are free coffee and the location changes also.. lots of ”information center” around if you know what I mean.

As it's located away from the touristy areas, it's relatively cheaper, quieter, and compared to Tokyo hotels I have booked, roomier. The staff are excellent--they speak or at least understand English, and are efficient and warm. Basic breakfast is included-- the boiled egg is my favorite, and brewed coffee is available 24 hours .

Room was bigger than the usual small hotel rooms but here they use key for door access. Overall was a good stay and was comfortable.

Nice affordable rooms in a good location downtown. It’s small but has a good sized bathrooms and the staff are very helpful. Would stay here again next time in in Osaka

Love this hotel in my Osaka holiday🏯, 3 mins walk to station 🚉 K14 “Sakaisuji-Hommachi” (exit 3), also have the big supermarket 🍣🍱 , Daiso dollar shop 🪙, convenience store 🏪 and DIY laundry 🧺 around. Also, special thanks to the friendly staff who help me print the document which I need in urgent 🥰

After taking the JLPT exam in early December, I went to Osaka and Kyoto for a free trip for five days and four nights. I stayed at this hotel which was fairly convenient for the airport. The price is reasonable and the transportation is very convenient. There is a subway and a convenience store just a short walk away. The indoor facilities are complete, the small table is enough for laptop work, pajamas, slippers, toiletries and tea bags are all self-service. The maid will clean the room as needed. The service will be very good if you come on weekdays during the off-peak tourist season, but on Fridays and weekends the restaurant and laundry room are a bit overloaded. I hope it can continue to improve in the future. I will continue to consider staying here when I visit in the future.

Hotel Hillary Shinsaibashi - Great location as very close to Dohtonburi, Shinsaibashi Metro train stop (around 8 mins walk), We booked family room with 2 x Double beds for a family of 4 (2A & 2C). (Biggest on the floor based on their floor plan) Rooms looks quite modern but just lack some space for luggage. However still considered as decent for Osaka compared to our last visit 5 years ago in Airbnb. Room is clean, amenities provided, bathrobe and towels also provided. Room cleaning not included and comes at an extra cost, however they will still come and replace the bin, towel and bathrobe fresh everyday as required. Will definitely consider to stay in this hotel again and will recommend this hotel to friends and family.

Great location and excellent staff! Walking distance to Dottembori and Namba area, with plenty of konbini and bars nearby. The room felt a bit dated, and the shower curtain was too short to prevent water from splashing into the bathroom. Laundry service is a tad expensive, but much more convenient than waiting for the few machines on the first floor. Maybe a tad expensive compared to other options, but still an great stay in Japan!

The room is quite nice but it’s very very humid it also overlooks the street which can be a bit annoying at night as it’s not sound proof, I think they should tell the guests not to be Loud after midnight as some guests try to sleep, they don’t have a washing and drying coin machine which can be extremely helpful, if you are looking for a good location then this is the place for you
