The amenities are amazing! I had no idea they offered pocket wifi. I've never seen that at a hotel before. They had free dried packaged ramen one night, but it was sadly not vegetarian.  …

Dotonbori Hotel was the best place we stayed at during our two weeks in Japan. The staff was courteous and helpful, the location was amazing, and the free ice cream, drinks and massage chairs were icing on the cake! Although the room was comfortable, we did notice that the shelf at the head of the beds was rather dusty and we had to throw away a dirty bandage that was left there. Other than that, our family enjoyed all the amenities and perks, including the free facial masks. We had the most fun in the Dotonbori district. If I am fortunate enough to go back to Japan, I will head straight to Osaka and gladly stay at Dotonbori Hotel again.

Is so close to dotonbori you Can walk to the famouse running man and is like 2 min walking. The hotel have many free amenitys like beer, coke, and ice Cream and a lot more. The best thing was the free massagechair in the lobby. Very good staff and the best hotel in all Osaka. The picture is just 2 min from the hotel.

This is a great hotel for only being a 3 star. The location is amazing, as it was less than a 5 minute walk to the heart of Dotonburi. The staff was very kind and helpful. The rooms were average, but get the job done. We loved the massage chairs after long days of walking. Also having the free beer, coffee, sake, noodles, ice cream was fantastic! You def get your moneys worth with this hotel. I would come again! Thank you.

Bathroom is tiny, think airplane size with a bath. Room was bit dated and not the cleanest. What it lacks, it made up with location, friendly staff and free amenities on offer. Hotel is next to tourist hotshots, shops and restaurants, as well as subway

It was a fine stay in this hotel. Rooms were typically Japanese in size which was expected, beds were comfy, but just didn’t love the whole thing. It definitely felt less nice than other places we had stayed at this trip. It felt less clean and just a little more seedy but could be the super central location within dotonburi which was of course a plus and one of the main reasons why we chose to stay there! A plus was the free (and unlimited which was a surprise to us!) drinks and ice cream stand from 3pm-9pm everyday (I believe).

A nice hotel, the rooms are a bit small but that's to be expected. The staff were very friendly. There is free drinks and ice cream from 3pm until 9pm, which was quite cool. The hotel lobby always had people around so could be good for socialising. The location is also great. It's also easy to spot the hotel with the statues in the front.

4 day stay in Osaka and we chose Dotonbori Hotel because it was in the heart of the city here! Perfect location, room was a bit small, but not a big issue, service and staff were amazing!Love that Don Quijote, the outdoor mall, the namda walk underground are all within the same area. Enjoyed every day of our stay here and excited to come back.I also joined the membership with the hotel chains, so hoping to stay at another chain hotel with their Dotonbori Hotel Group.

We booked this hotel fairly close to our travel date as our other hotel let us down but this one didn't disappoint. We had two Standard Twin rooms and although the hotel is older, the rooms were still well maintained and presentable. …
