Stayed in Hotel Mikado for 7 nights in November 2011 and was really impressed given the very low price (about $30 NZD per night for a single room). The hotel is about 5 minutes walk from Shin-imamiya station (on the Osaka Loop Line), which makes it really convenient. Some people have commented that the area is a bit dodgy, and... More

i stayed for 6 nights in this budget hotel.It's great for location.I don't mind the location that sometimes you will see homeless or poor people because they are not dangerous.I accept that the room is very affordable.

I stayed here for 3 nights, but i spent most of my time for travelling and visitinng friends outside; therefore, i just came back hotel for taking shower and sleep! Even the location could be a minus point (known as dangerous area), it's not too hard to go to other famous attractions from here. Very close to Dotonburi area and... More

I stayed here twice in November and December 2010, with my younger brother, for 14 nights all up. We decided to hang the expense and have our own private rooms and we paid AUD25/night (about USD25) per room per night. I was incredibly impressed with the service we got for the price we paid. I'll start with the downsides, just... More

Only stayed here for one night but I must say I had a pleasant experience in it. They only charged me 1980 yen, which is really a steal. The room is quite small but I felt really comfortable. There's TV, a personal ref and the aircon works really fine. They also has a private shower room that you can use... More

I foudn this by accident after an 8 hour trip from Tokyo. I couldn't find the place I'd booked and this is in the same area (I think!) the walk from the train station was pretty downmarket, but the whole area is full of cheap hotels, so it's probably worth trying them all out... This one has Japanese style rooms,... More
