We stayed here on our first couple of nights in Japan. Found our way here from Namba station from the airport relatively easily ( a little help from the very helpful locals) and welcomed by the friendly staff. On arrival offered the use of the phone to make a couple of calls home and wifi in the lounge/reception. Great location - easy walk to a variety of restaurants, markets and attractions.

We just stayed the one night before flying home. The hotel was in a great location literally 3 minutes from a train station and close to dozens of shops and places to eat. The staff were friendly and gave us excellent advice about getting to sites and the best way to the airport. They were able to sell us an all day rail pass and aquarium tickets in one.
The rooms were clean and comfortable although fairly small with a small bathroom. Breakfast was very era ably priced particularly if you bought your tickets the night before, included Japanese breakfast but also cereal, toast, fruit, bacon and eggs.

I'll preface my review with this, I've been told I can be snobby and more often than not only stay at major chains so choosing the Dotonbori Hotel was a major change for me. I'm glad I chose this hotel for my stay in Osaka. It's within walking distance of the Namba train station which can get you pretty much anywhere you want to go in the Osaka region. The hotel staff was amazing and very helpful. The room was smaller than I expected but had all the necessities you would expect and it was clean, a major factor for when I stay somewhere. You also get free Wi-Fi which made keeping in touch with family/friends a breeze.
