Hotel Trend Nishi Shinsaibashi

Lovely little hotel not too far from Dodtonbori street. Staff was very kind, and the hotel was more on the quiet end, which we liked. Train is about a 10 minute walk in either direction, and there is a Family Mart literally right next door. We were huge fans of all the little shops and bars nearby, and I know it sounds crazy since you're in Japan, but you have to try the burger place nearby! (Rich Garden)

The location was very close to Dotonbori though you're at one end of it rather than central/middle and pretty convenient to subway/train lines. We wanted to take advantage of our JR pass for our transportation. This was a second visit (first visit was a day in port on a cruise) so we had already done some sightseeing. If you've never been before, you may want a different location. While the room was small, the layout was fine.

Hotel was near transit stations and the big market area. Plenty of close by restaurants and near the big shopping district. Also was able to ship our luggage from our previous hotel's location in Kyoto to here so we don't carry it all ourselves. Little fridge was nice to have and the WiFi worked. Room was accommodating enough for me because I had it for myself, however if you're staying with others it might feel cramped.

The room was quite spacious. Definitely larger than other hotels. Bed was really comfortable, strong aircon, toilet has good amenities. The location was a 5min walk to Namba station or to Dotonbori. There is a supermarket next to the hotel which is perfect also. Staff were really helpful also.

Location was perfect, Close to everything we needed. Room was tight but big enough for a couple to navigate with! Staff were polite but told us they wouldn’t hold on to luggage after check out, we walked past a room full of held baggage. Must have got lost in translation when we asked!
