Jakotel Namba — Hotel in Osaka

Stayed here as a last-minute option after arriving into Osaka-Kansai airport. The booking process was very straightforward and user-friendly via smartphone. Well before arriving at the nearest train station, booking details and how to access the property was already provided.

After a short walk from the nearest train station , once arriving at at the hostel, everything was self-served - which may pose issues for those that require additional assistance - but for those that are seasoned travellers, it is fairly straighforward. I wouldn’t recommend if you required tailored assistance with checking in.

Free refreshments were provided on the main floor such as tea, coffee, matcha as well as a small kitchen area. The bathroom / toilets were always kept clean and lots of towels and other hygenic products were provided which was a nice touch.

Access to rooms were via the elevator that had minimal wait times.

Its location is ideal being situated near several convenience stores, laundromats (helps if you are staying for several days), local restaurants and a market that is open daily.

As a larger person, I had no issues with the size of the beds or space of each capsule (have stayed in hostels that each capsule was literally the size of a cupboard) - I wouldn’t recommend if you have issues with mobility. However, I would recommend staying here if you are looking for a value for money accommodation and are a minimalist. It's location is ideal being situated in the heart of downtown Osaka. I would definitely consider...

I had a great experience staying at this hostel! It’s located just a short walk from Namba—one of the most popular districts—and super close to several train stations. Being just two minutes from a lively fish market was a fun bonus! The neighborhood is energetic but feels very safe, even at night.

The hostel itself is clean, well organized, and thoughtfully run. Indoor slippers and pajamas are provided, so no need to bring your own. Amenities are more than reasonable—fresh towels, quality shampoo and soap, and even free drinks in the kitchen on the second floor. The shared spaces feel safe, with security hammers placed throughout the residential areas, which I really appreciated.

The bedding is clean, and while the futon is a little firm, it adds to the authentic experience. You do have to put the blanket into the cover yourself, but that’s part of the charm. There’s no front desk, but don’t let that fool you—the staff are working behind the scenes constantly. I even had an issue with my booking date, and they helped me reschedule smoothly and kindly. Big points for that!

Definitely a great place to stay if you want something comfortable, convenient, and full...

Jakotel is closest I can find to Namba/Shinsaibashi St/ Glico sign

The room is pretty much comfortable, the AC is soo cold even during summer. It has a small common room for you to eat, drink or even have a chitchat with other travelers.

Didn't expect they gave a free rent pajamas, and the towel can be change every after use, free tea, coffee, water, microwave to use and refrigerator

If you have a one big luggage, you can put there as well after checked out but the space are small, it might be very crowded in the 1F area if all customers put there

It is a decent place, I like the self checkin process, it is very smoothhh, to make it smooth you have to fill the form, you just have to remember all the different password though (just take a pic of it and eventually you’ll remember it anyway)

and I don't have any problem with the staff as it is most talked in the reviews, less interaction during the stay though they only available during cleaning time anyway.

Good place and value...
