I've been regularly staying at Hotel Ichiei for the last 7 years and I don't see the point of looking for another hotel in southern (Minami) Osaka, since this excellent modern ryokan is probably the best value for money in the area - and possibly in the whole Osaka area. I was so happy with this little gem that I... More

Very good location, close to everything in Namba, right at the exit 6 of the metro station. Japanese room was large and comfortable. A bit noisy and bright in the morning. Good value for money (11.000 JPY per night).

Thank you for your stay. It looks rare to have Japanese style room in the central city, Osaka. Also, we serve breakfast and dinner to the room so if you have a chance to come here again, please try it next time!! More

We stayed at this hotel for two days. (around Feb, 2013.) The location is excellent. It's right behind exit no. 6, Namba station. (The hotel is within Ichiei building, and the lobby is located on the 8th floor.) The breakfast was excellent and the staff kind; they had a lot of information brochures and a great restaurant, Hotaru. The rooms... More

Thank you for your stay here. I am sorry to have troubled you also, I am afraid that the staff wouldn't correspond to you enough. I guided these staff more steadily and I apologize our inconvenient condition again. More

The service was great but I found the room really dusty. We went there doing autumn and it was still cold but they were unable to lower the temperature for us- so we had quite an uncomfortable sleep. However, its very close to the shopping centre - but note it you have the JR pass it is a good 15... More

Thank you for your stay here. I am sorry for uncomfortable condition in the room and I will try to improve about it more in that moment. Also, I am located at central Osaka is called ' Minami ' area so it will not be inconvenient for shopping, having meals like you says. Anyway, I would appriciate leaving comments! More

Given the price we paid, we were very pleased with the enormous Western style room we were given. Lots of space, comfortable beds and seating and quiet despite the location. The bathroom was a little small and simple, perfectly in line with the price point though, whereas the rest of the room was above what we expected. Staff were very... More

Really, being over a metro station and 1 minute walk from a huge closed market, you would expect a hip hotel/hostel. Not here! This is a marvel! The corridors leading to the rooms are decorated with bamboos and flowers (pastic ones, but still), and nice relaxing japanese music playing non-stop. The rooms are big and comfortable. I had one with... More

Spotl essly clean - staff very welcoming - English speaking receptionist really helped. Right in the centre of Namba next to a subway meant that visiting anywhere was easy.

The rooms are old. They make the futons for you which is nice. They put our bags in our rooms prior to us arriving since we shipped them which is really nice. But all the rooms are smoking rooms, which I did not know. The room size is very large so that was nice. The smoking part was the part... More

Stayed in a tatami room for 1 night. The hotel locates near Namba Station (within 5 mins walk). Big room, clean place. It's just USD90 for 1 night, a good try for traditional japanese style hotel!

Could not want a better location. Next to main shopping area and train station. Get to see the busy streets below but from the comfort of a very clean and spacious room on the 8th-10th floor of a highrise. Friendly, helpful staff. Good breakfast. Will stay here again for sure.
