The place is clean and it's near many wonderful and interesting places like the shinsaibashi street, kuromon market etc. We had a good time staying there and staff there knows many different languages.

Walkable to the main areas for tourists - no shortage of food and shopping nearby. Very clean, and quiet at night, windows can open slightly for air. A supermarket is just around the corner. The kitchenette was functional. I got upgraded to a two room suite but it's the strangest layout. Furnitures are lacking: no bedside table, no shelving in the closet, very limited storage space at the kitchen, no seating except the dining chairs and a few small beanbags. It's a good but very basic accommodation. The room I have is designed for 6, which is doable but tight - which I think is normal in Japan.

Great apartment-style hotel rooms. Space-efficient bunk beds for kids, each bed has outlets and charging. small living area (table and chairs/bench with an equipped kitchenette.) Door to the room is on an outdoor hallway, like many buildings in Japan, but we were on a high enough floor (8) not to hear any of the commotion from the street below. Although the lobby is too small for a common lounge space, there are cute "games" using tokens for little amenities like sake, tea/coffee or dagashi/snacks for kids.

I didn't realize how seedy the area was until the sun went down and the touts emerged on every intersection in the neighborhood. A little uncomfortable getting back to the hotel at the end of the day.

The location is amazing - walking distance to just about everything you'd want to access in central Osaka. Close to several train stations on different lines that will get you just about anywhere in Osaka you'd want to go. We travelled with three teenage children (5 people in total) and our room was on the smaller side for a group that big (Japanese style family room), but it wasn't an issue. The staff were fantastic, very helpful with language tips. If you like ramen you're within a 5 minute walk of Kobe Beef Ramen, which was just about the best ramen we had in Japan. It's just near Dotonbori. Ignore the restaurants on Dotonbori - the best food is in the streets either side of it.

Room was smaller than the photos suggested but this didn't end up being a problem.

Stayed here for 4 nights. Location was great. 2 Family Marts and 7 Eleven close by. 5 minute walk to Daimaru and lots of little streets with eateries. Close walk to Dotonbori. Reception held our bags until we could check-in. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was located on Level 2. We were 4 adults so stayed in a 40sqm room which had 2 single bed and bunk beds which were huge. Shower/bath was separate to toilet. There was a kitchen with cooktop and larger than mini bar sized fridge with a freezer. Plenty of cutlery and crockery. Plus a dining table. Bins were emptied and towels replaced daily. The room was exceptionally clean. We were given 4 tokens on check-in which we could use for either sake, a bag of snacks or coffee pods from the reception area. There's a coin operated laundry room on the ground floor which was so handy! Took 50 mins to wash and dry a 7kg load for JPY1,000.

Nothing

It was typical Mimaru - clean, efficient, comfortable, clever design and friendly staff. Even though it is located in a lively area, once the front door is shut you can’t hear anything outside - the sound insulation is fantastic. Lots of food nearby and also a 24 hour supermarket which is great if you want to cook at home (which you can because our room had a functional kitchen).

Nothing wrong with the property itself, but this is a very lively and at times sleazy area of Osaka so not the best for families. I should stress that this is a matter of personal preference!

All staffs were so friendly and extremely helpful. We lost our backpack with passports inside. The staffs help to contact train station and we received our bag the next day. They really extend their help with words are not enough to thanks them.The location is fantastic so close to stations and within walking distance to the busy street of Todonbori.

None

We had a great 6 night stay here. The staff were exceptional, nothing was too much trouble, and they were always friendly and very helpful. The location was great, close to train lines and shops and attractions. The room was a good size, and had everything we needed including a small kitchen. Would definitely stay here again!

My only complaint is the shower. The water barely had any pressure to it, which made it really hard to shampoo and rinse out long hair. Everything else was exceptional.

Location was good. Walkable to the main shopping stretch with easy access to loads of food options. Staff were all great, friendly, helpful. The connecting coin laundry came in useful as well as we could do a load, go back to the room and come back for it later.

Would have been a 10/10 stay if not for an unfortunate smell in our AC unit that despite the best efforts of the staff - would not go away. Air conditioning smelt stale. We had to crack open a window to get some fresh air.

Great location close to Dotonbori, 2 metro stations and lots of places to shop and eat. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and spacious by Japanese standards, great for a family of 4.

Only downside was that this Mimaru has a shared laundromat facility on the bottom floor which is also open to the public. This means you are often waiting for use of the machines and you have to pay extra for laundry. Other Mimarus we have stayed at provided a washer/dryer in the room which is far more convenient.
