Experience of the stay
I stayed at "the b Osaka Shinsekai" on a Friday in July 🏨✨. It was a cost-effective hotel that I could book through HaFH, so I wanted to share my experience!
⚫︎ The location is perfect
It’s literally "right in the center of Shinsekai". Just a short walk to Tsutenkaku, making it incredibly convenient for both sightseeing and food! Surrounded by Kushikatsu restaurants and charming retro streets, this is an area where you can enjoy before and after check-in 🍢👟 (It was so helpful to hop from three places and be able to return to the hotel quickly).
⚫︎ Busy area but quiet
I was worried it might be noisy because it’s in a busy area, but the hotel was quiet, and I slept soundly at night ◎ (My husband, who is sensitive to noise, was also reassured).
There were quite a few foreign guests staying, but there was no particular noise issue.
⚫︎ The hotel is very clean
The room was very clean, compact yet unified in a chic black theme, giving it a sense of cleanliness.
What made me even happier was that check-in and check-out could be completed with a self-service machine. I could smoothly process without waiting at the front desk, which was a pleasantly surprising point 🙌
⚫︎ Free light meal service!
In the lobby, you can pick up one bread or drink per person, making it perfect as a substitute for breakfast or for a little break. 🍞☕✨ Apparently, there are around ten types of light meals like croissants and macarons, so it may change day by day.
Though it’s right in the middle of Shinsekai, there’s no noise stress. It has great access for sightseeing, the hotel is clean, and above all, it's affordable—highly recommended as a base for sightseeing in Osaka!
If you were curious about it, definitely check it out!
Experiences during the trip
It was great to be able to get to the bustling area of Shinsekai in seconds from the hotel! Being able to drink and return to the hotel quickly was the best part.
The next day, we visited Namba Station's Yasaka Shrine and tried Takoyaki and Kintan Ramen in Dotonbori, and saw the famous Don Quijote Ferris Wheel.
