Stayed for 4 nights at Namba Oriental after finding good deal on "hotels.com". Check-in/check-out was efficient but subsequent service was average as English is barely spoken. Staff is unable to provide any directions or advice. Room was very spacious with balcony opening on inner courtyard. Relatively quiet location despite being located on noisy, busy and overlit shopping arcade. Bathroom and... more

We stayed 4 nights from 10 April to 14 April, 2009, at Yen 14,000 per night. On our last night, because there was some sort of hotel inspection taking place in the wee hours of the morning which would result in a temporary power shut down, the hotel discounted our rate down to Yen 9,000, inclusive of taxes. We thought... more

We stayed in this hotel for one night. The double room that we stayed in was on the lower floor with old decor (big old ugly flower prints on curtain and on the skirt of the bed). The bathroom and bed were clean although it smelled of cigarette smoke (ask for a non-smoking room if you have asthma or allergic... more

Great location, right in the middle of everything. Good food, bars and shopping. Walking distance to Namba JR and subway, making it a great base in Osaka. Decor in hotel a little dated circa 1996, but hotel otherwise very clean and staff most helpful. Highly recommended. more

We stayed in a family quad room in December for 3 nights and were very happy with our choice. The location really is excellent ! We too found it difficult to find at first but I believe this is because the Map on the hotel website shows Namba Station but it is not the 'JR' Namba Station, right next door.... more

We stayed at the Namba Oriental twice. Dates being 19 Nov, and 30 Nov - 02 Dec 2008. On the 19th we were in a 23 Square metre room on the 9th (top) floor. It was small but very comfortable, clean and nicely furnished. The room had a fridge, dehumidfier, and air conditioner which, much to my delight, can be... more

Luckily I was only here for one night...It may have a lot to do with the room I was in!it was very dark and claustro.And previous reviewers on here weren't kidding about the smoke smell! I think I was a bit put off as I had rude staff upon check in...but before that I had called and got a absolutely... more

Lovely hotel, but as others have said, very difficult to find. We took the (very efficient) airport train into Namba, but then realised we didn’t know which exit we should take (the station is huge). We ended up asking a local to help us. He rang the hotel on his mobile, got directions, helped us with our luggage, took us... more

We stayed at this hotel twice during our visit and felt it was really good value for money. We got the room for $115 which included buffet breakfast for 2 (which was also exchangable for lunch vouchers if you missed breakfast - how good!). Our room was a lot bigger than other hotels we stayed at in Japan and had... more
