This was the best hotel I’ve stayed in Osaka. It was in the heart of the shopping district and I couldn’t believe I paid so much less to be located where all the boujie shops were. There was even a Family Mart around the corner. The Ladies Floor was also quite thoughtful. I was very comfortable and I wish I stayed longer. Pro tip: use the Daimaru lift to exit Shinsaibashi station if you have heavy luggage.

The location was fantastic, with just 3 mins walking distance from the train station. It is near Dotonburi too, with accessibility to shopping malls and a 7-11 nearby. Could tell that there was alot of thought put into the interior design and living habits, with touches of guest consideration like the manual clock put at the bed, ample space and storage at the bathroom to put our toiletries which are placed in a way that it is easy to reach for things. I thought it would be cramped, but maybe because I stayed alone, it was cosy and the bathroom was really big.

Bed was quite soft and pillow small, but for the price, you can’t get it all.

The hotel is 2 minutes away from Shinsaibashi metro station (also easy to reach from Namba Station with a 15-minute walk). The staff is always friendly and helpful (especially when I wanted to send my suitcase to the next hotel). I chose a room on the women's floor again: it comes with a separate lounge (there is a coffee machine & massage chairs for free, there is also a separate washing machine). and more necessities in the room.

Breakfast could be more varied, it was the same every day. And on a sidenote: the coffee tasted a bit burned (but could be the roasting).

Loved the location and all the amenities for this hotel.

I paid for a massage service and the person showed up 1.5 hours later than what was scheduled with the front desk. The staff called to tell me they would be late at the last minute, but I wish they wouldn't have confirmed the time I requested without confirming with the massage business that it wouldn't be possible to begin with. Also, big surprise that the massage occurs in your hotel room as a fair warning to those that may feel uncomfortable with that, but the person who provided the service was professional and great with me (a solo female traveler).

The location of hotel Unizo is perfect, so close to subway exit of Shinsaibashi, in the popular area of Shinsaibashisuji were all the shops, restaurants are. We were most satisfied with the hotelrooms, the housekeepers cleaning the hotelrooms are excellent(!!): everyday clean bedsheets, towels, pyjama, bottles water, slippers, and bathroom cleaned & tidied every day!! For phone , laptop there were cables to use, tea & dripcoffee to make, free water dispense at the floor were our rooms were, free storage of luggage. Also reception has received the wifi package one day before our arrival, though wifi company would let it delivered on the day of arrival and that was not a problem, very efficient front desk employees! Free amenities for use of the bathroom. It is much better provided in Japan them the hotels I stayed in Europe. I have been in Osaka before, in another hotel Shinsabaishi ( also next to subway) so hotel Unizo is one of the best hotels to stay, because of hotelroom & location in this area.

Breakfast was till 10.30 hrs, but till 10 hrs am only the breakfast could be taken of the ‘buffet’. We did not like it, but that is because we took our breakfast ‘ late’ around 9.30/9.45 hrs. We discovered a very good cafe close to the hotel were the breakfast was made fresh, baked by the owner of the cafe. The laundry machine (2) were in use by other guests all the time..

location is perfect, it's right behind Nikko Hotel in Shinsaibashi, Daimaru is right across the street, 5min walk from Shinsaibashi station, you find all the eatery, shops for all consumption level in the area, and of course, some 15min walk to the famous signboard and touristy area. Buses and subway stations in just a short walk that take you to explore the culture and history. Hotel is clean and nice, hotel owners put efforts in building entrance hallway and sitting area with some serenity (traditional Japanese garden deco), rooms are well set up although it's tiny like most of hotel rooms in Japan. Will stay in this hotel again for my next visit.

nothing in particular

The best hotel I’ve ever been privileged enough to stay at. Gorgeous building, and it only gets more breathtaking when you walk in. High quality and spacious rooms, and the location is the best part of it. It’s less than 10 min walk to Dontonbori Street. I loved the bathroom, it was huge. The staff allowed us to leave our baggage safe at the reception after checking out. It has been a wonderful experience that I will never forget.

If breakfast isn’t included within the reservation, the meal the staff offers next door for ¥1,200 per person is not worth the money. There is not much options for someone who doesn’t appreciate soups, traditional Japanese meal or savoury dishes for breakfast.

Location was perfect. Just a subway ride from Shin-Osaka and Osaka station. 10 min walk to Dotonbori and right within the Shinsaibashi shopping area, around the corner from America-mura. Perfect location for tourists. Lots of restaurants and shopping nearby. Room was a bit bigger than other business hotels we've been to but still small as expected of business hotels. Still ok for 2 people with 2 carry-ons and 2 backpacks. Room cleaning everyday between 9-12 was great. Water machine on each floor was very convenient. Checkin was at 2 pm (earlier than others which were at 3) and checkout was 12pm (later than others which are 10-11am). Staff was friendly. There is a 7/11 right next door.

The drain was clogged our first night but they cleaned it afterwards. There were some stains on the door frame of the bathroom. Mini fridge was older. AC was a bit slower to cool compared to other hotels we stayed at. Bathroom was a bit smaller compared to some others - impossible to wash my face without spraying water everywhere.

- Really great location with direct access to elevator. You can cut through OPA from Exit 7 or take the elevator near Exit 5/6 (Next to Shake Shack). This was the most important factor for me as I was travelling alone with a huge luggage. I also love that the hotel is just a short walk away from places I personally wanted to visit (Americamura, Orange Street, Dotonburi, Daimaru). It is so convenient that I can stop by the hotel in the middle of the day just to drop off my shopping bags and use the restroom before heading out again. - I also booked a room on the Ladies floor, which came with access to a cosy small Ladies lounge on the same floor. You could bring your tumblr (provided in the room) and use the coffee machine in the lounge for a cup of coffee / tea. The entire floor also smells very fragrant and for extra security, you have to tap your card just to enter / exit the floor. Amazing, cosy and safe. - Room itself is very clean except for a small stain on the towel. Amenities are provided on Level 1, it’s self-help so you could take what you need. Shampoo / Body Soap is provided but I recommend bringing your own. I like that the toilet comes with a tub and it’s relaxing to end your day with a bath (bath salt provided on level 1). There’s also a humidifier in the room :-)

- Only 1 bed pillow and 1 sofa pillow is provided and they are very small. Requests for an extra pillow were not acceded to. This is the only con though; apart from that I had a really wonderful stay in this hotel.

The hotel has a great location in a charming neighborhood, making it convenient for exploring the area. The cleanliness of the hotel was commendable, creating a pleasant environment for guests. The checkout time of 12:00 was convenient and allowed for a relaxed departure. The availability of luggage storage facilities was a helpful service for guests.

Only minor things. One disappointment was the policy prohibiting food and drinks in the lobby. It would have been more convenient for guests to enjoy refreshments in a relaxed setting. The presence of an air purifier and a trouser press in the small room seemed unnecessary and took up valuable space. The room featured frosted glass windows. Personally, I would have preferred the option to look out through a regular window.
