Grampus Inn Osaka Namba in Osaka

The location is excellent relative to the station, there are small shortcomings in the cleanliness of the bathroom (hair, fine dirty linen). Considering the cost, it's a great option.

Short and easy walk from Namba station (yes, Rapit) staff were friendly and helpful. Lots of restaurants options, convenience stores and drug stores too.

The hotel service was excellent. Its location is fantastic, being very close to Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori, and right next to Namba Station, which makes it incredibly convenient for getting around.

The room was a decent size, with enough space to spread out our luggage. It also had a small fridge, which was handy for keeping food and drinks. The location is excellent, just a 5-minute walk to Namba Station, with a convenience store right downstairs and a wide variety of dining options easily accessible nearby. Do note that standard check-out is at 10 AM, and extending your stay incurs a charge of 1000 JPY per hour.

The main drawback was that the bathroom was quite compact. This made doing laundry rather inconvenient, as there was no space to hang clothes to dry.

It was spotlessly clean and perfect for a solo traveler. It would be a tight squeeze for two, but considering it's Japan, it offers pretty good value.

804 room, window view. Its very nice hotel near namba station.

Slightly older looking hotel that is just a stone’s throw away from Namba, with very competitive price particularly during peak sakura blossom season. I chose this place also for its location: It’s easy to take the Nankai Airport Express from here and reach Kansai Aiport in 35 mins; and the hotel is basically at the heart of Osaka’s nightlife with hundreds of arcades, restaurants and bars open late into the night. Albeit looking slight gloomy, the room here is larger than most hotel rooms in Japan, with enough space to open 1-2 large luggages. The bed is comfy, and they offer room service everyday. The front staff speaks decent English and is quite helpful as well. Another plus point is there’s a decent cafe just at the foot of the hotel, so if you’re thinking of getting a hearty western breakfast, pay this a visit.

I feel the room was quite big. thr lobby was quite small. ho ho
