We are in love with this place! It is like our home in Japan! The place ia super clean and equipped with more things than we could dream of! The location is perfect, just in the heart of Dotonbori. Don't worry about the comments that it is loud here - the street gets quiet at 22:30 each day and you can sleep like a baby. It is also close to everything. We couldnt have picked a better place! Also, the contact with the management is super fast. A family od 2 adults and 2 kids 😃
Nothing to unlike!

The accommodation was quite spacious for three people. Well furnitured with full amenities. Except for a few issues, I think the accommodation is definitely worth it in terms of location and facilities.
1. Smell : When we entered in, we frowned at the smell of the sewer. Only after turning off the ventilation and running water in the sink and washbasin did the sewer smell subside a bit. 2. Noise : The building across the street was under construction, and unbelievably, the work continued all night. To be exact, the construction work actually started in full swing at midnight. I was lucky enough to fall asleep with earplugs, but my husband couldn't sleep at all even with them on.

The location of this hotel is amazing. We stayed for 4nights/5days. As soon as you walk off the elevator and hit the corner of the entrance, you're right on the main street for everything. Hotel entrance is right next to the strawberry mochi, crepe, ice cream store. Pretty awesome that it could accommodate the 5 of us - 2 separate rooms with 2 full size beds and a couch that one of us slept on which was a little bit uncomfortable but it worked. The room included slippers and a cubbie outside of the elevator/front door to store your shoes. The bathroom and shower are separate. The shower and laundry machine are in the same room with a door for the shower - the bar where you hang your towel is a little far from the shower but we ended up putting our clothes on top of the washing machine since it was right outside of the shower door. We used the washing machine once and hung dry our clothes on the rack provided in one of the rooms. They provided an amenity kit with toothbrushes, face masks, feet/leg patches for relief, and mini loofah. The mini kitchen included coffee, a coffee maker, hot kettle, and plates/bowls/utensils/cups. The fridge was big enough to store our konbini snack hauls. It also included complementary water bottles and an assortment of condiment packets in the fridge (ketchup, jam). Instructions on using the elevator, getting into the room, and disposing of garbage were very clear. Instruction booklet on using appliances inside the room also included which was very helpful. *secure location, felt very safe! Host was very responsive to all of our messages! Replies quickly.
The only complaint I have is that the elevator had a slight smell to it. Not sure if it was the carpeted walls? But they did try to spray it and leave air fresheners in there. I just held my breath or covered my nose with my shirt for the short elevator ride 😅. Other than that, the noise outside was expected since it is a party street with plenty of people wandering throughout all hours of the night/morning so can't really complain about that.

Great great great location. Room fully equipped and very well organized.
The garbage collecting spot is right out front, garbage truck will be doing their job at night for at least 2-3 hours during the early A.M. If you are sensitive to noise, it will be a problem. Wall separating the 2 rooms is very thin, a small roll hitting the wall could wake the other room up.

Location, cleanliness, welcome feeling
There wasn’t really a comfortable place to sit together with our group (there were 5 of us). There are a couple of hard chairs and a…I’m not sure what to call it a kind of sofa on the floor that doubles as a mattress. It was awkward and not comfortable to sit on. (It wasn’t the same as in the picture of the apt). There is no dining table or place to sit and eat together.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dotonbori Hotel. If you're looking to experience the vibrant Dotonbori/Namba area, this hotel is the perfect choice. Situated right in the heart of Dotonbori, its location is incredibly convenient, being in close proximity to train stations, an array of restaurants, and shopping areas. Additionally, it's just a stone's throw away from the iconic Glico sign. The property is well-equipped, offering the convenience of a kitchenette that is almost fully stocked, except for a knife. This feature allowed us to prepare our own meals, adding a homely touch to our stay. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend Dotonbori Hotel to anyone looking to immerse themselves in the lively energy of this bustling area.
Nothing.

Centre of Dotonbori , very near icon Glico Man, MRT Station, Taxi stand, restaurants, shopping & stores (pharmacies, fashion). Across got restaurant & their music A LITTLE BIT heard into our rooms until 22- 23.00 PM. Small rooms only @for 2 guests/room, but living room and kitchen quite comfortable , laundry machine is a great bonus, kitchen equipment is complete include microwave.
No one cleans the rooms daily, and handle the trash, But downstair ( 1st level) and outside 15 mtr got public trash bin.

Location and facilities. It is at the centre of Dotonbori so everything was so close. A lot to eat and shop. Place was a little bit smaller than the photos but it has everything you need. I was very impressed as they prepared a lot of things in the hotel
Noise. We arrived on Sat night so it was even more noisy. Because you are in the middle of Dotonbori, can't help. If you are sensitive with noise, I don't recommend.

Great location, clean room - feels like home. Well-stocked kitchen with microwave so we can bring home breakfast or dessert items and eat there. Appreciate the separate toilet and bath area. Has a drying area for towels, has a power strip so we can charge multiple devices.
I was expecting a bigger place with living room area, but the size is ok. Sometimes noisy at night. Another mirror in the bedroom would be helpful :)
