Hotels near Cult Sekaiheiwatoitsukateirengo Osaka Church, Osaka

[ENG]: I've never had such a ridiculous experience at a hotel in any country I've been to. On my final night, I returned to the hotel at around 9:30pm to drop off some things without any problem, but when I returned again about two hours later, I couldn't get into my room. After trying to enter the password several times, I went to the lobby but there was nobody at reception. Instead, there was a sign with three accounts (LINE, WhatsApp and Wechat) and a local phone number. My partner and I added two of these accounts and tried to call and message but nobody picked up or replied. I also knocked on the door to the offices but nobody replied there either. After attempting for quite a while, we finally paid for an account to call international numbers and dialed the Japanese number. The person who picked up said she was not on duty that night and that she would contact the person on shift. A bit later, that person came down in pyjamas and slippers. When I enquired why he hadn't responded to our messages and calls, he said that he was in the shower and ”why didn't [I] call the local number”. I explained the situation to him and he said he would help us after he helped a couple who was checking in (who had just arrived). This took an additional ten minutes in which we were just waiting in the hallway in front of our room with three bags. When he finally arrived, he gave lots of excuses as to why the password might have been changed, but offered zero solutions. He even asked me if I wanted to know the new password since I would be ”checking out the following morning anyway”. This unprofessional attitude completely ruined the entire experience on an otherwise lovely holiday and I write this review in four languages in the hope that nobody else has to fall victim to the same experience. [中文]: 我這輩子住過這麼多飯店從來沒有經歷過比住這家飯店更荒謬的事情。最後一晚9:30左右回飯店把東西卸下來出去逛逛都沒問題。 大約兩個小時後回來居然房門打不開。密碼重複試了好幾次都沒辦法開門, 只好到一樓櫃檯去詢問居卻發現沒有人, 只有一個牌子上留了三個通訊軟體的帳號以及一個日本的電話號碼。我試圖透過 LINE 跟微信傳訊息以及打電話但都沒人回應。試了好幾次只好自己存錢買網路卡打國際電話給飯店的電話號碼。接電話的那位說今天不是他輪班 他會試著幫我聯絡當班的同事。過了一陣子有一位人穿著睡衣跟拖鞋的人下樓。當我問他為何沒有回覆我們通訊軟體上的聯絡時 他說他「在洗澡」還反問我「為什麼不直接打日本的電話號碼」。 我把事情的始末解釋給他聽之後他說他會先幫後來進來的一對客人check-in再協助我們解開門鎖。這又擔誤了10分鐘 讓我們在房門外的走廊上跟著三大袋的戰利品等待。他終於來解鎖的時候給了很多藉口說不知道為何密碼會被改 但卻一個解決方案都沒有提。打開門後還甚至還問我有沒有需要把新的密碼記下來，「反正隔天早上就要退房了」。如此不專業的服務態度真的讓我大吃一驚，也讓我美好的旅途劃下了一個非常傻眼的句點。我用四國語言寫下我的經驗 希望以後再也沒有人跟我一樣半夜被鎖在自己房門外 還要被反問一堆令人費解的問題。 [日本語]: 今生でこんな呆れる経験が本当に初めてです。 21:30に荷物をちょっと下ろしてまた夜食を食べに出かけた時問題なかったのですが、約2時間後に戻ってきてドアを開けることができませんでした。 何度かもう一度試してみましたが、まだできなくて1階に降りてカウンターに人がいなかったんですよ。 代わりにモバイルメッセンジャー3つと日本現地の電話番号がありました。 メッセンジャーを通じてメッセージも送ったし、電話もしてみたけど返事がなかったです。 仕方ない、お金を払って国際電話で連絡したので、電話に出た方がその日に働かないから同僚に連絡してみると言いました。 しばらくしてパジャマとスリッパを履いた人がついに降りてきました。 どうして連絡が取れなかったのかと聞いたら、自分がシャワー中だと、なぜ現地の電話番号に連絡をしなかったのかと言われました。 状況をちょっと説明していた時、お客さんがいっらしゃってきたので、そのお客さんが先に案内して私たちを助けると言いましたね。 それでまた廊下で約10分ほど待ちました。 また上がってきた時に言い訳をたくさんして、解決方法が一つもなかったですね。 さらに新しいパスワードが必要なのか、”どうせ明日チェックアウトするんじゃないか”と言われました。 こんなとんでもない経験が本当に最悪なので、私の経験を4ヶ国語を通じて共有したいんです。 同じ経験がないことを祈りますね。 [한국어]: 이번 생에 이런 어이가 없는 경험이 진짜 처음이에요. 밤 9:30에 짐을 잠깐 내려놓고 다시 야식을 먹으러 나갔을 때 문제가 없었는데, 한 2시간 후에 돌아왔다가 문을 열 수가 없었어요. 몇번을 다시 시도해봤는데 아직도 안되서 1층에 내려갔다가 카운터에 사람이 없더라고요. 대신에 모바일 메신저 계정 3개과 일본 현지 전화번호가 있었어요. 메신저를 통해서 메세지도 보냈고, 전화도 해봤는데 답장이 없었어요. 어쩔수 가 없어서 돈을 내고 국제 전화로 연락했으니, 전화를 받으신 분이 그날에 당직이 않는다, 당직한 사람이 연락해보겠다고 하셨어요. 좀 후에 파자마랑 슬리퍼 신은 사람이 드디어 내려왔어요. 왜 연락이 안 받았냐 물어봤더니 자기가 샤워중이라고, 왜 현지 전화번호로 연락을 안 했냐 그랬어요. 상황을 좀 설명하고 있었을 때, 손님이 돌아왔으니, 그 손님이 먼저 안내 드리고 저희를 도와주겠다고 했네요. 그래서 다시 복도에 한 10분 정도 기다렸어요. 다시 올라왔을 때 핑계를 엄청 많이 치고, 해결 방법이 하나도 안 했네요. 심지어 새로운 비번이 필요하냐, ”어차피 내일 체크아웃할거아냐”라고 그랬어요. 이런 말도 안되는 경험이 진짜 최악이라 제 경험을 4개 국어를 통해 좀 공유 드리고 싶습니다. 저랑 같은 경험이 없으시길 바라네요.

B&B: 100% clean, basically like brand new, disposable quilt cover, pillowcase, bath towel, slippers, very reassuring😌 Facilities: washing machine, cooking utensils, refrigerator, hair dryer, USB sockets are complete👍🏻 Location: It’s about a 15-minute walk from Tennoji Station. If you can walk, you can go through the Omall shopping mall. The entire journey is covered and you won’t be too exposed to the sun at all👍🏻 The disadvantage is: I live on the second floor, there is no elevator, the stairs and walkways are relatively narrow, and it is difficult to lift luggage up and down 😂 Everything else is very good, I will stay again👍🏻

The hotel should have been renovated from a famous hotel. There are many rooms in it. Each room accommodates 6 or 8 people, so the space for activities is limited. Moreover, the staff is relatively mixed, with people from all over the world.

Amenities wise, I feel that this hotel offered a great bargain. The shower area and toilets are clean and well-equipped, and the rooms very simple yet cosy. However, as a female solo traveller, the hotel’s good facilities and price were not enough to keep me there for more than a night because of its location. While yes, it is a walking distance to the train station, it requires one to walk down very quiet, almost empty and dimly lit alleys. Found out later that the hotel is located in a low-income, red district, hence explaining the people I saw loitering around. Hence, while the hotel is decent and the area filled with cheap food, I would caution solo travellers (particularly females) to think twice.

My first stay during my first trip to Japan. It was Spring 2018. I was excited because my little room was a tatami floored room. The small room was a basic room for two guests. There was only one plug point to charge our many electrical gadgets, so oh boy im glad i brought along a plug socket with 4-5 outlets. The room was too small for even the two small Asians like us. we have no place to put our backpacks (there were only two bags but) once we spread the futons. This small room actually suitable for a single guest. The bathrooms and toilets are normally clean for Japanese standards. You have to pay separate charge for your towels. Our room situated on the 4 or 5th floor i cant remember but there was only one floor for lady's bathroom - the hostel got about 40 to 50 rooms but there are only 2-3 bathrooms for ladies to share. I woke up very early to take bath but was very disappointing to see the long queue of Japanese female workers who unable to go home and slept here for the night. Imagine the long hours i have to wait to get my turn. sometimes i tried to go to another level to try the unisex bathrooms but they were definitely full with guys. The pantry on the ground floor offered hot water with 3-in-1 drinks. there are vending machines for you to buy mineral water or soda or sweet drinks. The walls between the room are super thin and you can hear everything loud and clear. The door is made of steel so when someone close it with a bang it can be very annoying. Well we were kind of grateful (feeling console?) that the room got a mini fridge. And that the hostel is near to the train station. I'm coming back to Osaka soon but nope, I'm not going to coming back to this hostel just to get myself headaches for the bathrooms. The friend who booked this hostel for us thought we wanted the cheapest room in Osaka and she never asked us about the quality of the service. Well this is the negative side of coming to Japan in Spring i guess. Everything comes in expensive price.

The smell is really bad in the room, but the prices and the location is worth it After long walk, can get relax at spa world And only walking distance to spa world, so no need to worry about the catch last train problem

It’s like you get what you pay for. Room stinks like cigarets. Very noisy because of the railway station. There weren’t enough sockets, just one for the tv, so I had to plug it out to be able to charge my phone. Room and toilet were pretty clean, but the hot springs room is nothing like it looks in the photos (it might be man’s one). Women shower and hot springs locate on the first floor near the reception and the place is very tiny for number of guests who use it. There wasn’t hot water in shower cabins, so I had to go to the hot springs room and use it there. Well I did not really enjoy my stay there and next time would chose hotels more carefully

We arrived earlier than the check in time, and are able to drop off the luggages at the reception and come back later for check in for free. The staff can speak multiple languages, (Japanese, English, Chinese,etc) able to communicate without any problem. Room is very clean and cleaning service is provided each day. Location is close to Nanba. Very convenient. Close to a metro station as well, easy to locate. Would recommend.

The room is clean. Just alittle small and there is no view from the window. Overall, great service from the staff and just 8 mins walk from Shinsaibashi MRT

This was my second time staying here. I had a comfortable stay, just like last time. The room was more than spacious, the facilities and amenities were impeccable, it was reasonably priced, and more comfortable than other business hotels in the area. Thank you very much.
