In todayโs society, consumers are not just paying customersโthey are entitled to fair, respectful, and quality service in exchange for their money. However, my recent stay at a 3-star hotel in the Osaka-ko area of Japan was a clear example of how a business can blatantly disregard the most basic rights of its guests. This review is not simply a complaint, but a public statement aimed at raising awareness and calling for more responsible service practices in the hospitality industry.
A Simple Request for Extra Towels Turned Into a Hostile Situation One of the most basic services any hotel guest can reasonably expect is the ability to request additional towels when needed. During my stay, I made such a requestโand was met not with courtesy, but with irritation and visible disapproval from the hotel staff. It created an uncomfortable situation where I, the paying customer, felt like I was inconveniencing them. This is completely unacceptable. Asking for extra towels is not a favor; itโs a standard part of the service that should be provided without hesitation or judgment.
Poor Soundproofing Made Rest Impossible The primary purpose of a hotel room is to provide a space for rest and relaxation. Unfortunately, the soundproofing in this hotel was so poor that I could hear even the faintest sounds from neighboring roomsโlike switches being flipped or people walking down the hallway. Exterior noise from the street was also clearly audible. This level of noise disruption not only compromised my ability to sleep but also felt like a violation of my personal space. A hotel that canโt offer basic peace and quiet is failing in one of its core responsibilities.
Unacceptable Cleanliness Standards The lack of hygiene was another major issue. A foul odor came up from the bathroom drain, the bed sheets had mysterious stains, and strands of hair were visible on the floor and around the doorway. It was evident that proper cleaning protocols were either ignored or entirely absent. This isnโt just a matter of comfortโitโs a matter of health. When a hotel charges guests for accommodation, it has a duty to maintain basic sanitary conditions. This property clearly did not meet that obligation.
Rude and Dismissive Customer Service Perhaps the most upsetting part of my stay was the staffโs attitude. When I brought up my concerns, I was met with a cold, unhelpful, and even condescending response. Rather than addressing the problems or offering any sort of apology, the staff made me feel like I was overreacting or being too picky. Hospitality is not just about roomsโitโs about people. Empathy, respect, and effective communication are essential traits for anyone working in this industry. This hotel showed none of them.

ย ย ย Read moreThe main problem is soundproofing. You can hear everything, not only the snoring of your neighbor behind the wall, but also his nighttime pleasures. You can hear the street and cars, you can hear trains, you can hear footsteps and the sound of water. Some alarms and signaling devices are constantly going off, which you can also hear.
Everything is very old - carpets are stained, apparently from someone's nausea (?).
The bed linen seems clean, but it smells very unpleasant. The blanket and pillow are old, the filler is lumped together. The shower is very simple and very uncomfortable, apparently an old model. There is no mirror. There is one in the shower, but one is at knee level and the other is low above the sink and without shelves. There is no closet, there are a couple of hooks and hangers for clothes.
In general, the room is not tiny, normal, but it is not very pleasant to be in it because of the noise at least. It is a really cheap hotel. But it is close to the metro. I did not see...
