3-Star hotele w: Osaka Prefecture, Japan

Loved our stay at toyoko inn! We chose a triple room for a comfortable 9 nights here. Staff were friendly and always check/notify us for room cleaning. Daily free breakfast (until 9am) was a big plus for days with early itineraries as food options are limited to convenience stores in the morning. Everyday was Japanese style breakfast with some tweaks, which was always good and delicious. Our nightly stop: Lawson & family mart are within 3 mins walk, both with smoking areas and a 7/11 abit further (the viral berry smoothie is available there) Shower amenities (shampoo, conditioners, body gel) provided were great and lather well. Didn’t use the toothbrushes as we got our own. Razors are good. Toilet paper was very thin, very normal in Japan. Toilet bowl was a teeny small, with smart bidet. Hot water and water pressure was very stable throughout our stay. Daily towel changes and make up your bed. They only change the sheets every 4 nights. Skincare sachets (face wash, toner, light moisturiser, make up cleansing oil) at the lobby was good quality, enjoyed the face wash (doesn’t strip your face dry). There’s also cotton buds packet individually per bud. Tea sachets. Pyjamas (provided at the lobby) was a button up dress type, hairdryer works well, make up mirror on the desk. Clothes rack on the wall was small so couldn’t hang much stuff. A bottle of clothes refresher spray was provided. There’s a small humidifier in our room, which was helpful as the air was dry in march. I think the rooms are quite sound proof as we didn’t hear any noise. The triple room was great. We could fully open up all our luggages!! 2 small cabin luggage on the luggage stands and another 2 x 28” check in luggages and a duffel. And still have space to move around. We had our nightly supper at the little sofa and coffee table, while we watch Netflix on the tv. There’s a microwave and a medium size fridge/freezer in the room too. There is 2 air conditioners in the room, heat / cold mode available. The downside was the beds are hard like other reviewers mentioned and the pillows don’t provide much support. But after the full day out and about, honestly you’d just fall asleep anyways. Surprisingly the bed length was able to accommodate my 1.9m husband. He’s just happy to not have his feet dangle in the air lol. There are 3 washers and 2 dryers available. Prepare some 100yen or change with the front desk. Laundry powder available for a small fee, iirc 30 yen. Washers are clean. Dryers run in 10min intervals and they dry well. We did our laundry very late at night twice, machines were available both times. Would suggest to bring a laundry bag along. Free coffee machine 24/7 in the lobby, while you wait for laundry. Or grab a beverage or beer from the vending machines in the lobby. We came during mid march so our daily walk to and fro Juso station was quite comfortable in the cool/cold weather, the distance didn’t bother us. We are usually back at Juso station around 11pm-12am and there will be touts outside the west exit. I think they’re respectful towards couples as they didn’t approach us at all. Only when they spotted my husband standing alone outside while I was getting something in the convenience store. I would say this location is better than the other toyoko inn that’s nearer to Juso station as that hotel is located at the end of the bar/club street. There’s more touts there and along the street towards the hotel, unless you choose a slightly further route. Although this toyoko inn is further and has a few love hotels around it, we didn’t encounter a single tout during our 9 nights at this area. There are residential apartments around the hotel too, it was very peaceful at night. Another downside is because Ubers are expensive late at night, we can’t stay late at the main Osaka areas to drink/party and have to leave around 11.30pm in order to catch the last few trains back to Juso. Upside is almost everyday I get to h

This is my second time going to this hotel as my first experience was so good. I went solo this time round and I was impressed by it again. Superb location as it is walkable distance to Dotonbori and Kuromon Market and Namba area and Nipponbanshi station. Staff are super friendly. The bread and drinks for breakfast was so good and convenient. Will always recommend this to anyone who is going to Osaka on a trip :) And I am planning to come back to this hotel again while booking my next trip to Osaka now for June.

Our stay was incredibly worthwhile. The room was exceptionally clean, and the front desk staff were wonderful, especially one lady who kindly helped me with the self-service laundry machine. This stay made our family trip to Osaka very happy and comfortable. Plus, there's a large Yongsheng Supermarket right below the hotel, and it's super close to the Shiyotsubashi subway station. Walking to Shinsaibashi is also very convenient. The hotel room even provided an air purifier, so there were no unpleasant odors, which is crucial for me. I also really appreciate the hotel providing a proof of stay. Next time I'm in Osaka, I'll definitely stay here again; it offers excellent value for money.

This hotel offers incredible value for money! It's conveniently located near a subway station, 7-Eleven, and FamilyMart, and close to Kuromon Market and Nipponbashi. The hotel is very clean, and they even offer luggage storage. I accidentally booked the wrong room type, and it was non-cancellable, so I just planned to make do. But surprisingly, the hotel upgraded me to a triple room! Japanese hotel rooms are generally small, but we were able to push the three beds together, leaving enough space to open a 26-inch and a 20-inch suitcase side by side. I would definitely choose to stay here again on my next trip.

The hotel has several buildings, and I stayed in the second one. The room was clean, and the toilet was also clean. The shower room is on the same floor and was always clean as well. There's a refrigerator in the room. On the first floor, in the common area, there's a microwave and a kettle. Several supermarkets are nearby. The subway station and train stations are also close. Dotonbori Street is about 3 km away, good for an evening stroll. Yes, there are many homeless people in this neighborhood, but they are harmless and it feels safe. For a single traveler, this hotel is an excellent choice, as the price is quite affordable.

The hotel's location is excellent, making it super convenient to get to Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori. The breakfast included in the price offers great value for money. Both the service and cleanliness were also very satisfactory.

The room offers great value for money. It's a bit small, but it has everything you need. It's perfect for those on a budget who still want a good location. As soon as you step out, you're in a bustling area, making shopping very convenient, and the subway is also nearby. Picture 4 shows a good breakfast.

We enjoyed our stay in Plum Hotel. At first, it was a struggle to find the area but Japanese people are really nice. We found someone who accompanied us exactly to the place. The place is the quiet side of Osaka so it suits us well. The amenities are fine. It is secured because of the key card and even going to our floor designation is not possible without it. The staff is kind and very accomodating. We would recommend this place for would be travellers in Osaka.

Facilities: The room, though small, was well-equipped with everything we needed. Plus, there's a public hot spring bath available. Free daily drinking water and complimentary drinks during happy hour in the evenings were a great bonus. Cleanliness: Spotlessly clean. Service: The service was also excellent.

Location: Next to Bentencho station so easy access to Osaka loop line and Chuo Line for Subway and Rail. Really good location even though it's not central Osaka. The advantage is that you can still get everywhere within 10-20mins and the surrounding area is clean and safe and quiet. There is a 7-11 next door and a commercial gym (charged at 1650 per day) Negatives are there is not much to do in the evenings. But this leads to the quietness of the area and is an advantage Hotel Room: We stayed in double room and it was large. Nice comfortable bed with good pillows. The AC was modern and good and did not make noise even while we were asleep. The room is cleaned daily (tidy and new towels) with new sheets every 3 days. Shower gel, shampoo and conditioner provided. The room was also very clean. The bed has USB and chargers on either side of it. There is space to hang clothes But the room is really nice. We always were glad to come back to a very clean and tidy place. The TV has English menus but we never watched anything. Negatives are the fridge could be colder and the bathroom sink has a tiny slope on it so you cannot place product on the sink but you have a shelf above the sink for this. Very slight negatives for what is a great place to stay Hotel features: Excellent. Great laundry room with several washers & dryers. Trouser presses, vending machine and ice machine. A rooftop terrace with good views. The breakfast is free and is underwhelming, just different bread and pastries with choices of juice, soups, water and yogurt. It's acceptable and I guess it's free. The hotel lobby has little items you can take if needed, such as hair bands, toothbrushes, razor kits but something nice was that they give you bath bombs for free too. Different ones each day. Staff: Very friendly and helpful, even after midnight when I made requests they were very fast and helpful Overview: 100% would stay here again. The price-to-quality ratio and the large room size make this an easy choice. Do not worry about location, I stayed it Dontonburi area before and alothgh its close to everything, its loud, dirty and feels unsafe. But the location of Porta Inn is really good and super easy to get to central areas (around 10-20mins) and easy to get to the airport (direct line) and easy to get to Universal Studios too.
