Bande Hotel Osaka

Amazing experience. Great value for money. I stayed in this hotel two separate times, for 2 and 3 nights respectively in early May. The first time was my first hotel stay in Japan. The staff is very welcoming and helped me with everything I needed. Almost everybody spoke english. The room itself was spacious and very clean, Breakfast had a good amount of variety. Nothing fancy, but tasty. The hotel location was a good surprise. It's not in the city center but you can get there quickly by metro or bike. The area is not very touristic, so it was less crowded and felt very authentic. It has a lot of restaurants and stores closeby, good options for dinner on the days I decided to come back early to the hotel.

Completely random location but really cool for a traveler, inside looks higher end and service is perfect as with most hotels in Japan. Rooms were just a bit on the low end for a japanese hotel, very small, windows couldn't be opened and the bathroom was just a cramped prefab. Nothing wrong at all however, the room itself was just definitely not congruent to the rest of the hotel's appearance

The hotel offered good value for money. Public transportation is excellent, with several subway and train stations nearby, so you can reach the city center quickly. There’s a 7-Eleven next to the hotel, and a microwave available on the main floor. The indoor smoking room could be bigger and cleaner, though.
