Lake Biwa

A short distance from a few train stations, walkable distance from tourist attractions such as dotonbori and denden town. This hotel felt very comfortable and bigger than most others i’ve seen in japan. 10/10 would come back if in osaka again.

Not too far away from the train station, like 5-7min walk. A few 7-11 and family mart down the hotel. Brand new hotel and everything is clean.

This is such a great way to live like a local! There are convenience stores (I actually sent my carry-on suitcase to the airport via the Family Mart across the street), grocery stores, and restaurants (including a yummy bento place) nearby, along with 2 convenient train stations. You’re actually very close to Osaka Station (2 stops away), so if you plan to go to Kyoto for the day, it’s pretty convenient. The room itself is spacious. You have your own kitchen and a nice tub, and I got a room with a balcony. You’re right by the train station, so if you’re sensitive to noise, make sure to request a room that’s located further away from the side of the building, facing the train station. I found check-in and check out to be very easy, and whenever I had a question, they got back to me pretty quickly. Also, I stored my luggage using their locks and didn’t have any issues. I would definitely stay here again for the location, space, and price point.
