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!

Enjoy Ed the location of this property. Things were close by so it made it easy

It was great experience. Easy to access to the train and bus. They have a good services, they took us to train on our last day for free. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

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.

This was the best hotel we stayed at on our multi-city vacation. The staff was so friendly and spoke very good English. Room was so clean and spacious. Hotel is close to everything
