the b namba-kuromon

The room was smaller than expected with limited space for luggage however the facilities such as the bathtub were great. Free cold water was provided at the lobby

The hotel is located in Namba and very close to Dotonbori. Several subway stations near by. But I would not stay here again. The staff was not very helpful and the toilets and air conditioning were very dirty. There was black mold in the openings of the air conditioning unit and the toilet seemed clean but if you look between the space of the seat and the back of the toilet there was a lot of dirt and hair accumulated. I didn’t feel comfortable using the AC while knowing that the air coming out of it is harmful. Which was especially annoying since it was very hot during our stay in Osaka. Generally the staff at the reception was not the nicest nor the most helpful.

The location is quite good, right across Kuromon market and within walking distance to 2 metro lines. The hotel is modern and quite clean; price is highly affordable. There is a free coffee and ice machine. On most days, the ice machine is quite messy with ice scattered and coffee stains. However when I opted to extend my stay after checking on Trip.com that there are still at least 5 rooms available for a certain room type, and other rooms were available too, the 3 male concierge told me "Sorry. Peak period. We are fully booked" without asking for my room number. That was highly disappointing, as such, the service did not meet expectations at all.

Love the king size bed but not free space for luggage to be open. Near to train station and market.

The location is near nipponbashi Station. Directly opposite the kuromon market where there are plenty of food options available. The downside is from 18/11/2024 the air-conditioner is switched to heater mode and room become extremely stuffy. Window could be opened but room 207 faces a back alley that sells food and room is filled with fried chicken smell. When the store has closed. Noise from the back alley could be heard making ng it an unpleasant stay. Lobby has donuts for guests but very limited stock. Coffee machine at lobby for cod drink and coffee available. Plus point map given for USJ direction is specific and helpful. Foldable comb, hair tie and shave on table in front of lift. Face wash sachet at the lobby reception area.

Location is good, near to metro station. Staff attitude is polite and friendly. Will stay again in future.
