I have stopped there many times before. The back part has been remodeled recently. New mattresses, cuvets, ... . The dogs in the backyard are still there. I love the place, a bit Spartan-type, fully corresponding to the description, though.

The front building has not been re-modelled, however, the photo tells all about the room: very simple, futon, window, locked door. All one needs to overnight. No curfew, staff always in place, close to Midosuji and Sakaisuji Bubway lines, two more minutes to Shin Imamiya. It is not shiny, but it is clean with good bath(men) and shower(for women). I have been there multiple times and still like the place.

Some foreign tourists were filming the place to show that it was dirty, not meeting (their?) standards, as I heard from their video comments. I guess it is well described and defined, and those, who cannot make right decision about whether to stay or not based on reading a proper description text.

The staff are exceptional and the reason why I come back to Hotel Diamond when i visit. This was my 6th visit to Osaka/Shin-Imamiya. What a great team of workers the hotel has to serve those who rest at their hotel, What a Japanese true to form trip. If you expect a western experience, stay home. Thanks again Hotel Diamond staff.

Trip was too short as I got sick when there and did not get to travel to Nara or Nagoya as planned. The heat and humidity the hotel has no control over. My sickness was not at all related to hotel

Hotel Diamond is my home away from home. This was my 4th visit to Japan and I usually stay about a month. This is an excellent budget hotel with above average staff. The staff work hard and I believe they do not have a big turn around with their workers, so they must have a pretty respectful work place. The foreigners unfortunately bring their own disrespectful ways. Example: The smoking area is not the whole hotel as some guests assume though "No smoking" signs posted. Guests with children seem to leave their children in the lounge to go shopping without children....Please tend to your own children sign was once needed but not posted. The Japanese live a simple life. This is a Japanese style hotel for those on a budget. I am from USA

It was hard to book the time I needed before I left LA for Osaka. I did get that straightened out with hotel when I got there, as every 6 months I visit and stay a month.

It is a gem situated in proximity to a happening area within Osaka. The metro is right next door, but so much can be accessed on foot. There is a great strip of karaoke bars nearby. Den den town is a 20 minute walk up the road. To conclude, it is absolute bang for your buck if you are on a budget while in Osaka.

For the money, you can't complain. Shared bathrooms are not for everyone, but they are cleaned daily. In our particular room, there were no curtains, and the light pollution from outside made it difficult to get to sleep.

It's affordable, it's clean. The host has listened to the guests' opinions and tried her best to make it more and more comfortable. She's really good

It's really small and doesn't have a bathroom inside the room, which we all know before making a reservation but this is really inconvenient haha. For a more comfortable trip, you absolutely need to book a bigger room. There's no wifi inside the room so you need to buy a sim card for using the Internet

A private room for this price is very reasonable, even if it is very small. The room is quite comfortable and has a futon inside, it is quite clean. The hotel is in a good location, accessible both by metro and JR stations, so it's good if you have the JR pass. There is friendly staff, and you can buy soap, towel, razor etc.

The shower is only on the ground floor, and rooms are up to the 7th, and also it is not locked - there is no private shower. There is also a deposit charge of 1000 yen when paying, which is paid back at checkout - not an issue, just worth knowing.

good internet - very cheap for Japan - You have your own room for aheap price - in the center not far away from the important sites with Underground and train

eine große gemeinsame Dusche internet only in the lounge and kitchen

Hands off best value you could get for your money. It is a cheap hotel which is clean, has many facilities and the staff is always helpful. Location was great too. Would totally recommend to people travelling on a budget.

The room sometimes got somewhat hot

the room is clean. staff r kind. very affordable price/night

wifi only available in the lounge. not in every room there is smell space between the main building to the elevator for new building . idk where it’s come from but it’s quite uncomfortable when walking through to elevator
