Very comfortable and welcoming hotel!
Pros:

Convenient, clean, and comfortable. Facilities like the laundry room and the lobby were easy to access at all hours. It feels like a quiet resting spot just to the side of the busy chaos of Dotonbori.

Great location and friendly staff, but cleanliness, comfort, and room conditions unfortunately made this a disappointing
Pros:

The front desk staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. I also appreciated the complimentary refreshments and daily activities offered by the hotel. The location was very convenient and within walking distance of shopping areas, restaurants, and nearby subway access, which made getting around Osaka easy.

Cons:

Unfortunately, our room experience was very disappointing. The room had a strong odor upon arrival that smelled like smoke and urine and did not feel fresh or clean. The property felt very outdated and in need of refurbishment. The bathroom was extremely small — even smaller than a cruise ship bathroom — making showering and using the toilet uncomfortable. We also discovered stains on the bed sheets and provided pajamas, which raised concerns about cleanliness. The beds were extremely hard and uncomfortable, making it difficult to sleep comfortably throughout the night.

Staff members go beyond to help.

Cons:

Amenities in the rooms were a bit old and dusty. Construction right next door also made it noisy during week days.

A wonderful stay. Thank you, Dotonbori Hotel!
Pros:

The location is excellent. The amenities are above and beyond what other hotels of the same caliber can offer. We stayed in Urban Hotel Kyoto Gojo Premium hotel, a 4-star hotel, and yet the amenities and services of Dotonbori Hotel, a 3-star hotel, are a lot better. I don't recommend Urban Hotel Kyoto Gojo Premium; avoid it if you can. But I highly recommend Dotonbori Hotel. well worth every penny paid. The hotel rooms are small, like many 3-Star hotels in Japan. However, the services, amenities, and location of Dotonbori Hotel far exceeded those of the other hotel. The bonus that our family and friends love the most is the drinks, ice cream, and Bowls of noodles, which are the icing on the cake. We love it. Oh, plus the massage chairs are awesome; it helps relax the body after a long day of exploration. We love Dotonbori Hotel.

Cons:

Nothing really, besides the small room size. However, it's expected in Japan that rooms are typically smaller in a 3-Star hotel.
