"It was an easy walk from ShinImamiya station ( that has direct line to/ fro Kansai airport ) to the hotel, I was greeted with friendly hotel staffs. Check in was seamless and fuss free . Room was clean , reasonable size and it was comfy in term of bed size and lovely pillows , with very cute PJ , fitted with bath tub, plenty of food option , with a Mega Donki, Sugi pharmacy for late night shopping.
Being in Shinsekai mean lot of food options, and nearby subway / JR lines made easy and seamless travel to many places.
Love the place and will definitely stay there again :)"
"The room is small but can open two suitcases. The public bath and spa are excellent. Close to JR station and donki. But the staff and hotel policy are terrible and I could only rate it woth adverse comment. First, at checkin the staff did not tell us the spa world could be used even after checkout, so we had no idea we could still stay to play the spa world the next day until we learnt it from other residents in the hotel. If we have learnt it earlier at checkin we might adjust our travelling plan as we checkin late at night from landing. Second,
upon checkout we asked for luggage storage service, which is very basic services of hotel, but the staff said if we were leaving and not staying for the spa, they would not keep our luggage. I am not meaning leaving Japan but I just go out from breakfast or some shopping. I have visited Japan multiple times and stayed in many hotels or residence, and this is the first one not offering luggage storage service. Please do not call this a hotel if you refuse to offer luggage storage service. Third, the hotel prohibited any slipper and every one had to walk back to rooms in bare feet after public bath, this sounds dirty while the staff was wearing slipper. Hotel could provide slippers and require resident to wear hotel slippers only. Bad experience and poor service."
"Used the room for 4 nights, the stuff was polite , they informed about changing towels every day but they will clean it up only once during our stay. Room condition is good, toilets and towels very clean. One minus of our room was that it was noisy because of highway. Overall perfect for price. Zoo is located right backside of the hotel. The zoo is definitely must visit place in Osaka!"
"Hotel is near the metro and JR station. There is a direct train to and from airport but it is about 15min walk with luggage.
The room is small but comfortable and quite clean. The service staffs are able to speak English and are helpful. There is even a welcome pack and drink upon arrival. Hotel also has happy hour from 6 to 7.30pm and supper from 8pm to 10pm.
Downside is the surrounding restaurants sell all the same type of fried food on sticks and little shopping. Therefore, limited food and shopping choices. It can be easily solved by travelling one or two stop to the next station which has lots of food and shopping."
"🚎 Commute: Just a 1-minute walk from Ebisucho Station Exit 3 to the hotel! Super convenient! Dotonbori is only two subway stops away, or about a 25-minute walk.
Hygiene: I was personally very satisfied, although the air conditioning had a strange smell for the last two days, not sure why.
Housekeeping: They bring fresh towels and bottled water every day! Thumbs up! Honestly, I don't use that many towels, haha. They also clean the room and make the bed on the second day of your stay.
Bathroom: It's quite compact, but the shower pressure is excellent, making for a refreshing wash. Taller or larger guests might find it a bit inconvenient.
🤓 In summary: The best choice for solo travelers! If I come to Osaka again, I'd recommend staying at this hotel. It's also very quiet at night; I was worried it might be noisy, but it wasn't at all. The guests in the neighboring rooms were all very considerate. 😇
🥹🥹 A wonderful trip to Osaka!"
"We booked a room with four beds for three people, so everyone had their own bed which was very comfortable. The space was decent, and the bathroom was tiny but functional. You can get here directly from Kansai Airport without any transfers, and the staff speak Chinese and are very friendly."
"The hotel is conveniently located near a train station. The staff service is good, but the cleanliness is substandard. Free room cleaning is offered once for stays over 3 nights. I stayed for 4 nights, and on the third night I developed a rash on my neck, back, and legs, and scabies appeared on my fingers. Guests should consider this."
"I had a wonderful stay at **Hinode Osaka** overall, and I'd definitely recommend it, especially for couples.
The amenities are easily **10/10**. The hotel offers so many complimentary perks, including free alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, ice cream, laundry facilities, and a hot spring (onsen). These little extras really made the stay feel great value for money.
The staff were friendly and welcoming. Although I didn't interact with them much after check-in, the entire process was smooth and efficient. Since we mentioned that this was a birthday trip, they even prepared a small gift for us, which was a thoughtful touch and much appreciated.
The location is another huge plus. There are plenty of restaurants and convenience stores nearby, and **Tsutenkaku Tower** is only about a 5-minute walk away, making it very convenient for sightseeing and food hunting.
The only downside, in my opinion, is that the hotel seems to accommodate many tour groups. We noticed buses of tourists arriving almost every day. During peak hours, the hot spring could get extremely crowded—we couldn't even get in at times. The complimentary late-night ramen was also very popular, and we often had to wait around 10–15 minutes just to find a couple of seats.
Overall, I'd highly recommend Hinode Osaka for couples looking for a comfortable and well-located hotel with excellent amenities. For families, however, be prepared for the crowds, as the hotel can feel quite overwhelming when multiple tour groups are around."
"The hotel's location is excellent, with two subway stations and three convenience stores nearby. There's also a Matsuya (a popular fast-food chain, great for introverts!), and Tsutenkaku Tower is right next door. The hotel is very clean, and the front desk even offers Chinese-speaking staff, so there's no need to worry about language barriers."
"Pros:
- No bedbugs
- Showers are 24/7 and are located on the first floor
- There is a water dispenser
- There are rooms for smokers and luckily my room didn't smell of cigarettes.
Cons:
- Washer costs 200 yen, detergent costs 30 yen, and dryer costs 100 yen for 30 minutes. I can go to a nearby coin laundry that can offer the washer for 100 yen less and everything else the same.
- Checkout time is TOO EARLY (9AM). There are places nearby that offer later checkout time (as late as 12PM) and at similar or cheaper price.
- There is a kitchen stove but it's coin-operated (20 yen per coin) and I believe each coin lasts a certain amount of time (not sure how long). I also didn't see any cooking equipment (knife, cutting board, cooking pan, etc) so I'm not sure how we can cook. Maybe there are some but I just didn't see them."

Amazing
HhetomyThe room was very quiet, and housekeeping cleaned it daily. The location is excellent, just a short walk to Shinsaibashi, and the subway station is right outside the door. Although breakfast was Japanese style, there were many options, and I thought it was even better than the breakfast at the hotel in Kyobashi.
IIAN OBOLENSKIII really liked the ventilation in the capsule. It was cold in the hallway where the capsules are at night because the air conditioning was on. There were no odors, so the capsule itself felt fresh too. I'm not sure how the ventilation is set up, but I was pleased with it. The common area on, I think, the 10th floor was usually empty, so I could sit and eat alone, which I also liked.
After this, I stayed at a couple more capsule hostels in Japan, and this one was the best in terms of the capsule design and living area.
My only complaints were with the kitchen and cooking facilities. But for sleeping, it's an excellent option. The showers and toilets were great too.
XXige1993Extremely satisfied with my stay! The hotel's location is super convenient, and the room was spacious, bright, and very clean. The bedding was so soft and comfortable, I slept like a baby all night. The front desk staff were incredibly warm and attentive, always ready to help with anything I needed. Breakfast was delicious and had a great variety. The facilities are excellent, offering great value for money, and I truly felt at home. I'll definitely choose this place again next time and highly recommend it!
FFabairimengdexiaolongIf you're going to Universal Studios Japan, you HAVE to stay here! You can't get any closer to the park. I took the Shinki Bus directly from Sannomiya, Kobe, to the park entrance, and then it was just a short walk to the hotel. You can drop off your luggage first; they have a dedicated luggage storage room. The front desk will give you a card to access it and can even exchange coins for you to use in the lockers. The coins are returned after you retrieve your luggage. The room facilities are complete and comfortable, and the room itself is super spacious! The bathroom and toilet are even separate, which is very convenient! Even though I only stayed one night, I already fell in love with this hotel. Breakfast was also incredibly satisfying, with a huge variety of options, and you can even look out at the park from the window – it was truly delightful.
GGuest UserThe hotel's location is truly excellent. Coming out of the north exit of Namba Station on the Nankai Line, you'll find a large plaza. Head right and you'll see two pathways. Take the one on the right, and when you reach a fork, turn right again to find the Don Quijote Sennichimae store. If you go straight left out of the pathway, cross the street, and then turn right, you'll reach the hotel. It's incredibly close to Dotonbori, Shinsaibashi, Kuromon Market, and other popular spots, making shopping and dining exceptionally convenient. Even many day tour meeting points are nearby. The hotel rooms aren't large, but they are very new and come with a full set of toiletries, so you don't need to bring anything. The price is also affordable, and I didn't even have to pay the accommodation tax! Highly recommended!
AAnonymous UserThe front desk had a staff member who spoke Chinese, which made check-in super easy. The room was spacious and well-laid out, and it's really close to the subway station! Plus, it's right next to some very upscale residential buildings in Osaka.
GGuest UserThe hotel is located right in front of Dotonbori Street, but it's not a noisy area. There are convenience stores like Lawson and 7-Eleven nearby. It's about a 15-minute walk (1km) from Namba Station, which is manageable when coming from the airport. The bathroom was clean. Free breakfast includes bread, drinks, and coffee. The coffee was absolutely delicious! Amenities are self-service on the first floor. You need to request new towels daily. Room cleaning is done once every three nights. The room itself is small, but having experienced even smaller rooms before, this size was acceptable.
AalgebraxThis hotel is super convenient, located near Namba Station. You just cross the famous bridge that everyone visits, and you're at various subway lines, which is why I always stay here when I visit Osaka! There are also plenty of great food options nearby, and a Lawson convenience store right around the corner downstairs. This time, I stayed in room 803, and right outside my door were the ice maker and laundry room. It costs 25 RMB to wash a load of clothes, which takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes – really handy for tourists staying in Japan for several days. Check-in is at 3 PM, but if you arrive early, you can store your luggage yourself. The hotel provides daily housekeeping and bottled water. I stayed here this summer for two nights, costing 1052 RMB, and paid an 880 JPY city tax upon arrival! I appreciated the post-payment option after check-in, and booking through Trip.com was very easy!
MMeituankefuThis hotel boasts an excellent location, right in the heart of the bustling Namba area, and close to Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori. The front desk features a comfortable lounge area and a water dispenser. What's more, on my floor, there was a large beverage machine offering a variety of drinks, both hot and cold. The bed was cozy and came with a TV that had decent reception. The bathroom, washbasin, and toilet were all quite spacious, and importantly, all these facilities were separated for men and women. I also discovered a prayer room available for Muslim guests, which is a very thoughtful touch. Of course, the front desk staff were incredibly polite and attentive as well.
AAnonymous UserComing from Kansai Airport, you do have to transfer a few times on the subway. However, the hotel is very close to Juso Station, about a 6-7 minute walk. Juso Station has a food street, so dining is super convenient! It's not crowded around at night, so sleeping is very, very quiet! There's a convenience store at the intersection, and Don Quijote is just across the main road! There's also Daikoku Drugstore nearby! Although breakfast is simple, it changes a bit every day, which shows a lot of thought. You'll definitely be full and satisfied! The lobby also has vending machines with beer, drinks, and ice cream! All your normal needs can be met here! Personally, I think even though the location is a little out of the way, it makes up for it in value for money, and transferring subways is still very convenient~
