Great location with friendly staff. The hotel was much older than we anticipated and though it is a non-smoking hotel, the hallways and elevator do have a smoke odour

Disliked: Cleanliness
The pictures and reviews did not properly represent the room we were staying in. The room was incredibly small as was the bathroom facilities which when we've paid quite a lot stay here, we expect a level of quality that unfortunately was just not there. The room that we were staying in was deemed as a Smoking Room, we are not smokers, and this made our stay worse. The room was so smelly, the smoke from previous guests was stuck to all the walls and furnishings which I can't imagine is pleasant even for smokers, maybe consider an outdoor smoking area instead? Staff were very friendly and tried to help where they could but I do feel like maybe there was a small language barrier issue.

Walkable from the JR station (15min or take a bus (5min Ride).This hotel is located by the subway station ~2 min walk distance. Everything was clean and convenient (laundry room in premises) but the AC did not work in the room. The hotel is older but it is priced accordingly. It was worth the stay to get around and visit tourists areas in Osaka. For a budget friendly stay it was great!

The Frown Hotel Namba

We arrived there around 2 had to wait till exactly 3 to check-in. The bed was extremely small for two people so we were very uncomfortable the whole time. Everything seemed like it hadn't been cleaned properly and felt dingy. The bathroom was tiny and had a terrible smell the whole time we were there. The breakfast was bare bones and bad. The location wasn't even worth while since we had to take the subway to get to dotonburi everyday since there is nothing around the hotel. The costs add up every time so you're spending more money just to get around and find a decent breakfast. I would highly recommend staying somewhere else since the price is not worth cutting corners for comfort and cleanliness.
