We had a fantastic stay at the Dotonbori Hotel on our first trip to Japan this year - The hotel is a bit aged but very well kept, and the service was among the best we had during our 3 week holiday. Location is fantastic, and the big faces out the front make it very simple to find - Easy... More

The hotel location is perfect, located in Namba district, just accross the street if you want to see Glico Man. The room is very small, but clean. The bathroom also very small. They provide foot massage machines at the lobby which you can use for free as well as the computer with internet access and free international phone call. I... More

Had a wonderful stay in this hotel with my bffs. Our favorite place to hang out is the lobby where the free massage chair is located. We also love the free drinks in the lobby while we chit chat. The rooms are clean, and the breakfast is to die for. The staff is helpful and courteous. Ms. Orio and Mr.... More

Dotonbori hotel was a sheer delight. Located in the Namba district of Osaaka it is very easy to get to and is close to many fine restaurants, arcades, and curio shops. The unique front facade is very easily recognizable. The staff was always friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Although the room was rather small, it was very comfortable and spotless. One... More

Dotonbori hotel is in the famous Namba district of Osaka and steps away from several great restaurants and arcades. It is easy to get to from the metro and the hotel staff was very helpful with suggestions on where to go and how to get there. The room itself was relatively small and there is only space enough for one... More

Dotonbori Hotel is the place to go for excellent hospitality. With express airport buses and several train stations within easy walking distance, it's in a convenient location too. The downside: if you're catching the subway there, be prepared to carry your luggage up a couple of flights of stairs. After following the easy-to-understand directions provided on the hotel's website, we... More

Moved to this hotel after spending 6 nights in Kyoto.
