Strongly recommend this hotel -- designed for the traveler. Extremely clean! Quirky decor. Massage chairs, eating area (with dishes, cutlery, microwave, beverages), lounge area in the lobby. Air conditioned hotel room is large with sofa, beds (with best mattresses we had in Japan), microwave, full size fridge, safe, lots of hangers & coat hooks, drying rack for laundry, air purifier, washroom separated into 3 rooms: sink, shower/tub, toilet.
Room key holder is map to area.
Staff are amazingly helpful! & kind! Quick to respond. When we asked directions at front desk, a staff insisted on walking us to the correct gate for our subway at Namba Station -- good thing as our just loaded Suica card didn't work & she handled it & worked with subway staff to resolve the problem. Luggage storage provided. When we checked out, staff offered to drive us to OCAT to catch the airport bus and also carried all our luggage in.
HIGHLY recommend this hotel!

One of the best locations, great price, amazingly clean, efficient designed rooms, water pressure painfully good. Free massage chairs are awesome and the AC worked too well.
The staff made all the difference here. So friendly and accommodating. We are definitely planning to return.
Highly Recommended

This hotel got so many things right. For a family of 4, the room was not as spacious as previous places we've stayed at in Japan (291 sq ft vs the other places we stayed at, which were 377 sq ft, 678 sq ft, and 484 sq ft) but the room was efficiently designed, from multiple hooks on the wall, multiple hangers for clothes, a drying rack, and a separate toilet from the bathtub/shower area. There was a daily change of towels, and a daily supply of water bottles left at the door when you chose not to have your room serviced. They had a common dining area (with plates, utensils, cups), where families can eat comfortably (since there isn't a dining table in the room) AND they have free drinks (soda, water, coffee, tea). There was a pool table that provided entertainment for adults and kids. There were multiple massage chairs and 5 of them were conveniently located near the coin laundry area. We were using these chairs on a daily basis especially after long days of walking. The location was close to the train station and bus station (OCAT), and the NAMBA walk underground area, with many selections of food restaurants, bakeries, convenience stores, etc. It was also very close to the Dotonbori. We stayed at this hotel for 7 nights and felt super comfortable. And at the end of our stay, the hotel brought us to the Shin-Osaka station for free! We would absolutely stay here again. And as per my kids, they liked this hotel the best out of 4 hotels we stayed at during our 3-wk Japan stay!

We stayed at this Hotel 88 in Osaka for 3 nights (August 9-12, 2024). The location is perfect. Just step out of the door and you are closed to everything, Namba train station, underground shopping and eating, and Osaka’s most famous tourist attraction, Dotonbori. But most importantly, the exceptional degree of help and friendlyness from the hotel staff and management is unmatchable. From the moment you check in, during the stay and the moment checking in to checking out, they are there to help. They accompanied me to the exchange office after I just asked for directions. They helped us carrying suitcases from the hotel all the way to the entrance of the train!!! Where can you find this kind of help these days? I will surely come back to this hotel. And I recommend this hotel 88 to everyone who come to visit Osaka.

We are highly recommend this hotel for others. That is not only its tidy and stylish environment, but also free drink provided in the good hygiene common room. We really grateful for the pick up service when we left with many luggages. We just worry about how to go to the station with so many luggage. They just suggest to sent us the station and also help to pick up our luggage.

Excellent hotel and staff. They are friendly, helpful, and speak good English.This is a great value for proximity to Dotonbori. Cozy rooms, well-equipped and very clean. Walking distance to many restaurants and shopping, and Namba station is a few minutes walk. Just be aware that there are adult hotels nearby, but they are discreet.
5.0
Super convenient as hotel is close to dotonbori. Loved all the amenities, especially the Dyson hair dryer. Highly appreciated the Dyson after other hotels only offering the average Panasonic hair dryers that take 10x the amount of time to dry hair. Staff was really helpful and the drink bar is amazing. The one downside is the area outside the hotel. Not sure if this is common but there were a lot of love hotels and “erotic baths”. Hence at night it didn’t feel quite as safe walking around.
5.0
The hotel and room were very clean. The staff of the hotel were especially kind and accommodating. They anticipated the needs of their guests and made the visit to Osaka as seamless as possible. Would highly recommend.

The hotel was 10 minutes walk away from Osaka Namba station, and provided shuttle service that dropped us off at Nankai station during our stay. It was also a short walk away from Dotonbori. The area itself was quiet at night.

Everything was great
2.5
Hotel was in a great location and staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Room was definitely one of the biggest I've ever stayed in while traveling in Japan and comfortable. Massage chairs were great in the lobby. Only down side was the dryer not drying that well even with a small load of clothes in there, so be prepared to dry the same load a few times.
1.0
Our room layout had multiple small level changes that made no reasonable sense. The flooring was all one continuous vinyl. This created tripping and stumbling hazards any time we moved around. If you book, watch your step!

Amazing and friendly staff. Loved the convenience to the rail and the drink lounge. Enjoyed the massage chairs after long days of walking
5.0
Excellent in every aspect. Hospitality, cleanliness and support from staff are all excellent. The only limitation is that it does not have the restaurant, but it provides all the beverages, microwave, etc. BTW, it’s vicinity to all the shopping areas, restaurants makes this totally unnecessary. Go explore all the nice Japanese cuisine and let’s not forget the nearby Kuromon market which offers all the fresh seafood. Last but not least, kudos to the Japanese work ethics and hospitality, they go to great lengths to provide all the help. When I checked out the hotel, I declined the offer of the shuttle to the train station. However, one of the luggage were hard to be moved. Instead of ignoring my difficulty, one of the guy ran out and carried my luggage for me all the way to the train station. I really appreciated his effort and I felt bad that I did not jot down his name. I highly recommend this hotel.

The staff was great but inside the room I could hear other people talking in the hotel and the street beyond. Hotel walls and windows need better sound rating. Slept with earplugs

The front desk staff is very friendly and professional. We enjoyed our stay here, they even send us to Namba station for our airport bus to the airport. Awesome free drink machines in the lobby where you can get free juice, coffee, tea, and soup.
Enjoyed the convenience of walking to transportation and food options very much.

10/10 amazing hotel & staff!
Room was huge, had separate toilet from shower which was great. There’s a free drink machine in the lobby where you can get free juice, coffee, tea, soup. There’s also billiards massage chairs all for free use. The hotel itself is very artsy which is quite fun to look at. But the staff are truly the best. They provided a paper map to show us how to get back to the train station and 2 men (one being the owner) actually helped bring our luggage into the station up to our gate for us! They were so incredibly kind! Location is also amazing, as it was only a 5 min walk to Dotonbori, 7 min to Glico sign, and even less to the train station. Stay here, you won’t regret it

Small room, conveniently located close to heart of Dotonbori. No breakfast options. Walking distance to JR Namba station and it worked out surprisingly well for us because we used JR pass almost everyday to explore areas surrounding Osaka.

The service was beyond amazing from the first time we arrived. The hotel has a super cool style and our room was a great size. 88 is extremely close to everything one would want to do in Dotonbori. When we left they even offered to shuttle us unexpectedly to the airport bus! Couldnt recommend more and when I'm back in Osaka, I'll be staying here again!

My sister's family and my family (total of 8) stayed at Hotel 88 Shinsaibashi from 12/28/19 to 1/1/20. We LOVE the hotel! Hotel has a slick interior design and with free message chair which I could really used after long walks during the day. The rooms are clean and spacious. The location is very convenient - close to the train/subway and the Dotonbori shopping/restaurant area yet it's in a quiet corner of the street. We all enjoyed the Drink Bar at lobby area which opens at 6am. It offers cold/hot drinks and even soups. The hotel provides plates and utensils at the Drink Bar which is very thoughtful. The staffs are all friendly and helpful especially the owner Vicky. On the day of check out which was New Year's Day, we were in need of a van to carry our luggage and we did not planned ahead. Vicky helped us to contact the taxi but found they were fully booked, he then offered to give us a ride to the bus terminal to the airport. The staff not only gave us a ride to the bus terminal, but guided us all the way to the ticket counter and to the bus stop. Thank you so much, Hotel 88 Shinsaibashi! We highly recommend this hotel and will be happy to stay here next time we go to Osaka!
