Osaka hotellit Higashinari

Plussat: The staff is very patient and kind even if you are unable to speak Japanese

Plussat: Very friendly family run operation. Good spacey rooms. Separate bathroom and toilet was convenient. In truth, when staying in a Ryokan, you know you are paying for a minimalist experience so no real complaints.

Miinukset: Location was a bit out of the way if you are looking to be near the main sites.

Plussat: The place is traditional japanese ryokan. You get as much comfort and equipment in the room as ryokan can offer. The staff is very friendly! The room was clean. It looks that the whole place was quite recently renovated. It is close to metro and local line train station, although not in the very center of Osaka. However the residential neighborhood is very quiet.

Miinukset: My room got quite hot in the afternoon since it was facing towards west. There are no shades in the windows, so the room in not completely dark in the night.

Plussat: The experience of a traditional Japanese hotel

Miinukset: A bit out of the way but a 5-7 minute walk to two train stations.

Plussat: Rooms were traditional Japanese style and it was great to see it. Beds are more comfortable than I thought they would be. Very peacful place.

Plussat: The ryokan was really comfortable and cozy. The futons were great. Really loved sleeping in futons. The place was clean. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Location was great as well. Dotonbori and Namba are a 10 min. train ride from Imazato st. Loved the ryokan experience! Will definitely come back!

Plussat: A new hotel experience and the futon was surprisingly comfortable.

Miinukset: Sadly none of the rooms seem to have curtains for blinds but they were nice enough to move me to a darker room, also they don't seem to have any western style pillows so if the hard traditional ones don't work for you prepare to get creative at making one.

Plussat: The wide space of our hotel room, and that we can do our laundry for free.

Miinukset: The bathroom shower.

Plussat: Didn't have breakfast at the accommodation

Miinukset: It was too far out of the city. Our fault for selecting it.

Plussat: Nothing much around imazato area, but the ryokan was a good experience given it has a Japanese feeling

Miinukset: Nothing. It was good. Owner was really friendly and their daughter was so adorable!

Plussat: Clean and comfy, quiet and chill. Super comfortable bed. Staffs are very nice and helpful!

Plussat: Great place, lots of space and good value for money. Staff was friendly and we had all amenities we needed. Would book again if I go back to Osaka.

Plussat: Exactly what I was looking for. It's a very affordable, cozy and comfortable place to stay. Within a few minutes walking distance to the station. The 100 yen store right down the street was convenient. Will definitely stay at again on future trips.

Miinukset: The personal lockers were a little small, the house slippers aren't for bigger feet.

Plussat: Close to convenient store

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: I liked everything on the guest house. The staffs were friendly and approachable. The location is near the station. The place is very very clean.

Plussat: This hostel is a nice little place tucked outside of the main center of the city. It's in a residential area with a lot of restaurants and shops, and there's a supermarket very close by. The hostel itself is very clean and tidy. The check-in process was also nice - I ended up arriving after the front desk had closed, but they were kind enough to leave my key in their mailbox and give me instructions on how to get it, allowing me to pay my bill the next day. My neighbors were all very quiet and respectful, so it was an easy hostel stay. They also had a communal kitchen area with a fridge and some appliances, so cooking your own food is also possible. Very nice place!

Plussat: Nothing.

Miinukset: I booked a four night stay here and ultimately had to check out a night early because this hostel is infested with bedbugs. They will let you check in and not tell you that there are bedbugs. They are aware of the situation, and I know this because when I woke up with bites all over my body, one of the employees was in the process of spraying the rooms. I asked to be switched to a new room and woke up the following day with more bites. I was refunded one night because I checked out a day early but I should have requested all of my money back for my entire stay. I ended up losing hundreds of dollars because I didn't have time to properly clean my clothes so I had to throw them all out. I also found bedbugs on my luggage so I had to throw them both away as well. My advice: DO NOT STAY HERE!

Plussat: Everything is clean and confortable the staff is super nice and can help you with everything nice service

Miinukset: Nothing all is perfect

Plussat: The staff were very helpful with helping with extra luggage I sent. Thanks!

Plussat: Close to transportation and Osaka castle.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Central at the JR station and nice, generous beds in separable niches. Very good price.

Miinukset: No forthcoming when we changed plans and wanted to leave earlier, had to pay full stay. Also the bike renting was not available and the laundry machine did not properly dry. The drinking water machine broke twice in three days. It has plain walls and beds without any personal touch, no hostel atmosphere.
