MIMARU Osaka Namba North

We stayed here twice: once in the Pokémon room (which the kids loved), and the second, longer time, in a normal family room. We enjoyed our stay both times a lot. The hotel is a 15 min walk from the Namba stations and about 10 min to the nearest metro station. The Dotonbori area is around the corner and you'll find many shops and restaurants closeby. The rooms are well laid out, ideal for a family stay. You can lend items like a stroller, toaster, etc. free of charge. There is a laundry facility as well. Staff is incredibly helpful in recommending places to eat, trips, luggage forwarding, etc. The real star of the staff has to be Jay, who was not only super helpful, but really surprised us with a small, but very attentive little gift for the kids on our last night. It's people like Jay that make the difference between a really good, and a memorable, hotel experience. Would stay here again without any doubt.

Very, very kid friendly hotel with spacious accommodations close to the train station and within walking distance of many eateries and shops. The lobby is 100% designed for kids...there are games and dress up kimonos in the lobby. They also have booklets to give you ideas on where to eat and what to do in the area...which I really appreciated not being familiar at all with the location. A/C within the rooms worked very well, and the rooms are very spacious by Japan standards. The front desk is also very helpful with whatever you need (i.e. ground transportation to the airport, reservations at a restaurant, etc.). There is also a laundry room available with 5 units to wash and dry...so that's nice!

The location was very convenient as it close to dotonbori and many other restaurants and shops. The staff was very nice and accommodating, they helped us with our luggage when we were trying to send it on to our next location. They were also very easy to talk to and very friendly. Our 4 bedroom room was very spacious which was great and they provided all amenities on request.

The hotel is in a great location - right across from the entrance to Orange Street and a 15-minute walk to Dotonburi Ebisu bridge and Shinsaibashi. There are 24-hour grocery stores in the neighborhood and Family Marts a 5-minute walk in every direction. The room was very comfortable. We stayed in the 4 bed option with 2 loft beds. The hotel has an Apple TV console for borrowing, as well as other travel amenities, like power plug adaptors and extension cords. The front desk staff were wonderful and helpful as well and helped us arrange airport transportation (do this upon check-in a day or two in advance).

The apartment hotel was very clean and new and pretty much sound proof. Microwave, big fridge, humidifier, stove, cups, bowls, plates and utensils all catered. Change of towels everyday and cleaning provided. Front desk were all helpful and friendly. Free board games for hire. Location is near to Shinsaibashi and Dontobori- within 10 mins walk. A bit further from Namba Station (15 mins walk with luggage, flat pavements n roads n unsheltered). Note to/fro train/limousine to Kansai Airport to cater extra time.
