Hotels near Ernie's Rubber Ducky Race, Osaka

During the summer vacation, I took my children on a free trip to Osaka. I chose the Jide Hotel. I was pleasantly surprised to meet the owner of the hotel, a lady from Guangzhou, China. She was warm and considerate and responded to domestic tourists’ requests. She introduced in detail the secrets to avoid pitfalls such as bus rides, attractions, and shopping. The hotel was clean and tidy. It is spotless and far exceeds expectations. The room is compact and warmly decorated. It has all kinds of facilities such as bathroom, shower room and kitchen. It is very convenient. It is especially suitable for all kinds of independent travelers. It is especially close to the Japan Transportation Bureau. It is on a first-come-first-served basis near water and buildings. The transportation is extremely convenient. Universal Studios, Shinsaibashi and other major attractions and shopping malls are all within a three- to five-minute walk of subway and tram exits. I didn’t even have the opportunity to try a taxi in Osaka for four days. Sister Chen will also introduce you to various taxis. Tips for saving money on rides. Haha, Sister Chen said that there is a branch in Shinsaibashi, so you can choose it next time. Also, there are shopping malls such as AEON around the hotel. The prices of goods are cheaper than in China. Especially at the intersection in front of the hotel, there are also octopus balls that are much more delicious than those in China. You can try them. The prices are cheap. The boss is nice. Very good too. Also, on the way to the bus, I passed by various houses and experienced Japanese customs and customs. The facilities are compact and reasonable, and the roads are surprisingly clean. This is really worthy of praise👍In short, it is a very down-to-earth hotel, worthy of your choice!

5 minutes walk to Shinsaibaishi metro station and the main commercial area. Very close indeed and a good walk. Hotel was generally clean, tidy, decent. Rooms were small but expected of in Osaka. We actually felt fortunate to be given a disabled room since the room was much more spacious and the bathroom was extra large. Service was good at the reception and breakfast provided a sufficient selection. Downside is this is really not the type of hotel where you would feel you are able to truly relax and wind down, consider it more like a family-type, bnb stay. Simple and plain, right for its purpose for a comfortable bed and shelter to rest. We only stayed a night there but I would probably only be able to spend 2 nights at max.

To be honest, holiday inn has been quite disappointing these few years. This was my least favourite hotel amongst the ones I’ve stayed at in Japan. Service was good and they allowed us to check in earlier as the rooms were ready. But the rooms were really a tight squeeze, charging points were not in very accessible locations, lights were super dark and bad for getting ready, water kept getting clogged in the bathtub coz the flow was so slow…. But the good thing is that it’s in a very good location as many places were within walking distance. Though this can be a bad point as well if you’re staying on the lower floors as it can get quite noisy if you’re facing the streets. Which is what happened for my other room.

The location is good. Staff are friendly & helpful. The hotel is clean, and with amenities that you can be hassle free. They have a comnon area equipped with microwave and provide free flow of drinks, such as coffee, tea & soft drinks... etc., which is excellent! They serve ramen at reasonable price up to 21:00, love it!

The entire experience is petrified. I have never ever had so horrible experience in my entire life due to the foreign staff who is not Asian nor Japanese. The foreign staff is a guy with the cap on. As a tourist I forget to take off my shoes when I came to the hostel that made sense. Also it was the only and first time I made the mistake. He then shouted at me and pissed off by saying please Obey OUR Rule whilst other Japanese staff just said Oh she forgets only instead of shouting and being so rude. The Japanese understand I did not do it on purpose or have any intention of breaking their rule. The foreign staff looks so bossy as this is his hostel and he is the boss. He speaks fluent Japanese. I seriously don't understand why the hostel hire this rude person. Come on I know you want to make it international. He might brought his very rude culture from the middle east. The white people or Asian will not behave like this. I am not asking for a five star hotel service but at the very least treat your guest with respect. Obey is a strong word and I know he is not an English speaker but he is unbelievably rude. In the hospitality industry even though it is a hostel it needs service basic service and at the very least being polite. As if I owed him a lot come on I am a guest. Another staff like the Japanese girl and the owner Japanese guy are nice especially the girl called naka and she was very sweet to ask where would I go and giving suggestion. Apart from that the TV is amazing coz you turn up loud it's the same as silence Like other review said it is very noisy especially on Friday night. Staring from 4:30 in the morning someone was brushing teeth and locked and opened their door. It happened on every hour. I did not get a good night of sleep. I cannot wait to get out of this hell as I worried to make other mistake or forget something like take off the shoes and get shouted by the big boss from middle East. I will not come due to this guy. Taking to the local mere y who sold the skewer about the Japan is getting international. The old say is Japanese refused the immigration. There are not much white people only up to 2. But tons of the Middle East people who worked in restaurant hostel supermarkets or clothes shop. They are rude like the male Middle East staff in the hostel. The local said he welcome tourists not immigrant Japanese culture emphasis on politeness and repect. This rude staff ruined my trip and my good impression about Japan. Ask me to obey okay I will not be back to your hostel. And even in China have much better service then you. I will not come to Japan and spendinf money for such disgraceful treatment . Thank you Middle East staff you just ruined my trip in Japan. This is utterly unpleasant.

We got a great deal with Trip and stayed on the Club floor for 2 nights. The hotel entrance was a bit hard to find when you are walking through the mall. Checked in at the Club floor and it was very efficient. Room was very spacious and very clean. Club floor experience was excellent with breakfast, afternoon tea and evening cocktails. We had particularly good experience with the afternoon cocktails as they made lots of different ones for us that was not the standard menu.

There are 3 people at the front desk and 3 automatic payment machines. I was able to check in with plenty of time because I entered early, but I think it took longer than usual due to the procedures and explanations of regional coupons during national travel support. When I looked back, the waiting customers were lined up before I knew it, but they kindly explained it and asked me to answer the questions. I am grateful to the lady at the front desk who was in charge. The room is Hollywood. Twin cleaning was beautiful, so I was relieved. Since it was renewed, the equipment is new. A wide table that can be expanded and work with a PC Semi-separated (by bath and toilet) ← This is the first condition when deciding a hotel. I thought there was a washroom and I wanted it, but shampoos are placed on the edge of the bathtub. There is no shelf in the shower, no chairs and tubs. When used on the floor they said it was hard to use. I don't have a laundry hook, and I put it in a gap next to the bathtub, such as a towel, a brush, or a shower, and I wondered if there was such a place until now. Anyway, the bath is difficult to use. I thought, but I got a lot of delicious food at breakfast ＾＾ Is there a place where Chawanmushi is served for breakfast? I was disappointed that the dashi roll I was looking forward to was a time-consuming item or a date. It was good enough to search for a shop after I got home. Most of the ”Shokusai Kenmi Nono Grape” branches? It's also in the hotel. I'm thinking about choosing the next hotel. The staff 々 all felt good. The breakfast venue was good here. Thank you.

I was reading reviews prior to booking and they all said “small” but the room is like perfectly fine especially for Japan. The staff was friendly and welcoming ready to help with all questions. On the second floor is vending machines that sell cool drink and alcohol and there are washing machines onsite with a microwave in the same room. They change the towels everyday and make the bed etc but deep clean every 3 days for longer staying guests. The subway is called NAGATA you exit through exit 1 it’s literally 100 ft away you can see it as you exit. So convenient. There is also a car park on site . Will Definitely return. Thanks so much Richmond!

Very surprised Cantonese speaker from Hong Kong help us at front desk like home coming. He is very friendly and helpful. We missed the shuttle provided by hotel but it’s easy to catch a public bus to arrive. The Family room with open air bath is nice and worth the price. Bath with the nice view is very relaxing, stress free. The hot spring is nice as well. Great experience, will definitely come back someday.

Location is perfect, just next to the airport. Best choice for arriving late or super early flight the next day. Hotel bit old but overall condition is if you only look for a comfy bed to have some sleep.
