Nipponbashi Crystal Hotel

Excellent location near Den Den town, Shinsekai and Namba district, with lots of shops and late night food. Friendly staff who also allow you to keep your luggage before check-in and after check-out for the day. Hotel offers cosy seating on the ground floor with self-help complimentary coffee, tea and water available during working hours prepared fresh everyday.

Rooms were very small. Location was a 5- 10 min walk towards Namba station. 10 min walk from Dotombori . Shitennoji temple was a temple with visiting 20-25 min walk . Namba shrine was also 15 min walk. We did have a difficulty to reach the hotel from Osaka Namba Station as the crossing was very confusing and we were carrying bags . Once we knew the path it was a piece of cake. We managed to walk back from the hotel to Namba station with 10 mins. Would stay again. Staff were very helpful and hospitable.

Free coffee, tea, water and miso soup anytime of the day and there's a dining/common area. Room was clean and space was a little small but sufficient. Beds were comfy, only wish pillows were a littler bigger and less flat. Location: around 10-15min walk to Kintetsu station, a little more to Namba (Midosuji) station, 6min walk to Ebisucho (Sakaisuji) station

The perfect location if you want to be in the centre of DenDen Town. I chose the hotel primarily for location, as my OH is an electronics buff, and it was just around the corner from a shop he particularly likes. Staff were great, and very helpful. There was no breakfast, but in the lobby there were extra drinks and soup facilities. Our room had a great view up and down the main street, although it wasn't noisy. I would stay here again. It suited us perfectly for this short visit. I hadn't realised just how close were were to Osaka castle (bus/cab ride away, or walk if you are very energetic) - somewhere I want to visit next time.

Although there was no breakfast option, in the lobby you can get free miso soup and drinks free of charge. Rooms were good. Rooms had enough natural light, as well as clean. Location is good if you want to feel Namba and Dotonbori vibe, bus still sleep quietly at night. Dotonbori is around 20 min on foot. This is our second time staying here. I liked that the corridor of each floor is semi outside. I don't know what would i say if there was a huge rain, on very cold weather, but i liked to feel the fresh non-air-conditioned weather.
