Randor Hotel Namba Osaka Suites

What a great hotel, big comfortable rooms, clean & well kitted out. Good size bath & shower room, comfortable beds, basic kitchen facilities & a washing machine in the room, great if you’ve got the kids with you, great it you haven’t. The location of this hotel is fantastic, right next to the train station, 15 minutes walk to Dotonbori, 5 minute walk to Tsutenkaku tower & surrounding streets. 7-11, Lawsons & plenty of eateries all around you. 100% recommend.

Excellent apartment. We stayed on the 10th floor. Big beautiful king size bed in a separate room from the living area, with a European style kitchen/laundry (washer/dryer) and large living room. Also included a beautiful outdoor bath.

The online material is deceiving for this place. Pros: - large space, if you book on a sale can be good value. - fairly modern on the inside, basically a service apartment. - location is within walkable distance from Namba. - right near the exit of ebisucho Station. - some staff are helpful. Mainly those that speak English well. Cons: - the area is quite seedy, unless you're looking for renting/buying porn or visiting maid cafés. - you're not renting for the terrible view. - self service is a bit of a pain. Both from checking in and getting things fixed. We wanted to change towels (you need to initiate) and two of the service staff didn't even follow through with the request, so I didn't even get to shower for a day. Needed someone who spoke better English to tell me to bring down my towels and at least he walked into the back room to ask the staff to hand me towels to bring back up. - the room isn't really clean. Lots of areas aren't clean, there's a smell. The jacuzzi water is so dirty, better off using the shower. - beware of areas where they can charge more. 30 minutes late to check out and they'll charge you. Something about not having coverings for the sheets or futon and they'll charge you. - no help after 10 pm.
