Located in Namba area, very near to Kintetsu, JR, Metro & Nankai station (5mins walking distance) , restuarant and shops nearby, very convenience! Nice staff. Reasonable price!

I visited Osaka on a mission so the hotel for me was a place to dump my bags and sleep only. For this it was utterly fantastic.
Because it is located in the middle of basicly pedestrian only streets there is no traffic noise. The staff speak good english and are helpful.
VERY important if you are a non smoker is to request a non smoking room.The difference is phenominal and I suspect one floor is non smoking because I diddn't notice a heavy smoke smell most of the time. .
Remember the Japanese are fairly heavy smokers still.
I had a single room which meant double bed a small couch,a table,clothes storage and a reasonable sized bathroom. Everything was immaculately clean.
Now some tips.--Theres a pay phone in the lobby thats heaps cheaper than the phones in your room
Just to the right of the ground floor entrance is a Lawsons which is like a corner shop with emergency supplies open 24 hours.
turn left out the door and on the first corner is a small supermarket that has fresh fruit
Go straight ahead from the reception desk and theres an "english" pub with good beer and they do a sheppards pie worth eating if you just arrived and arent feeling adventurous.
DO take one of their tourist maps if you venture more than a block or two away on foot because its easy to get lost.
Will I stay there again ?? Yes

I stayed at the Namba Oriental for 5 nights in September 2010. The accommodation was excellent. Very clean rooms and bathroom, excellent television reception, internet connection for the laptop etc. The elevators were fast and there was never a long wait. The hotel is in excellent condition throughout.
My only gripe was the breakfast. The dining room seemed to be constantly full to overflowing. I tolerated that as I thought the breakfast was part of the room rate. Shock horror....upon departure I was presented with a bill for nearly 1500 Japanese Yen per breakfast consumed. MCDonalds (located next to the hotel) did a comprehensive breakfast combo for around 500 yen and it was a more appealing option. Breakfast aside, this is a very good hotel.

This hotel was decent. It was close to Dotonbori which was great! The room was a little old but nice. My chief complaint is that the whole place smelled like smoke. I wanted to hold my breath in the lobby, elevator, and hallways because the smell was so strong. If this doesn't bother you then the place was nice. Fortunately we were in a nonsmoking room so it didn't smell like the rest of the hotel.
