What guests think

At Quintessa Hotel Osaka Shinsaibashi Comic & Books, travelers repeatedly praise the central Shinsaibashi/Dotonbori location and easy transit access, generally courteous staff, and practical touches like lobby amenities and a manga library for borrowing during downtime.

Rooms are consistently small with limited storage, firm mattresses, and bathrooms that feel tight or low-ceilinged, and some guests report street or corridor noise. Cleanliness is often rated good, but recurring complaints mention bathroom or AC odors, occasional mold or dust in vents or curtains, and housekeeping quirks like infrequent bedding changes or towel replenishment. Breakfast is widely considered tasty and good value with decent variety, though a few found it repetitive or average. Expect a practical base for sightseeing, with trade-offs in space and bedding comfort.

Very walkable to restaurants and shopping nearby. Stations are within 5-10 minute walk as well depending on your destination. Ceilings in the bathroom are a little short, but overall nothing to complain about. Staff are very friendly and welcoming, and there is a reasonably sized comic selection for English readers that seems to be expanding periodically.

We chose the hotel well, especially since we were accompanied by a child. The service they offered for the child was excellent. It included a kit with all the necessary amenities. The breakfast buffet offered a great variety of food. It was fresh and tasty. You will enjoy all the comfort and services for a fair and affordable price. We used the parking service (check directly with the hotel after booking), and it was reliable and made it easier to visit the city. The staff is kind and helpful. Thank you for your services.

地點、環境、早餐、服務、價格都是五星級無可挑剔，尤其大廳還有漫畫可以借閱真的很棒。唯一扣分點在於空調清潔度。由於家人入住之後開始有非常嚴重的呼吸道過敏，檢查之後發現冷氣內外卡滿灰塵。通知櫃台之後當天就有進行清理，外觀跟濾網都清得很乾淨了，但內部需要特別清理程序的冷排部分還是無法及時清潔。浴室內的換氣扇也是灰塵頗多，空調系統的清理頻率上需要改善(櫃台說有在定期清) 如果沒有這個缺點就是完美飯店了，十分可惜。

Terrible hotel. Rooms are tiny. The washroom stank and smelled like a public restroom. Told the staff and they used an ozone machine to disinfect it, but it didn't help. They don't let you eat in the lobby so if you have food, you need to eat in the room. We did that a few nights, so you can imagine others doing the same. That means the rooms must have fits bits inside. They make your bed every 3 days but remove garbage and change towels every day. We had 4 people in the room and they would take away our 4 towels and replace with 2, so every day we had to ask for towels. Their claim to be environmentally friendly is a crock as they would throw away our 4 slippers every night and give us back 2 new pairs, so we had to ask for new slippers too. This hotel is just terrible. Don't stay here.

The mattress was very thin and firm and not super comfy. There wasn’t really any soundproofing in the room so lots of street noise. We were right beside the elevator, so we got lots of hallway noise as well.

Storage is also a challenge as the room we had could only fit one luggage in the closet .

Excellent locatin. Short walk to subway and to shopping/dining/entertainment. Hotel is new,clean with polite and helpful staff that can communicate in English. Negative- beds are rock hard and small. If you plan to share bed with your spuse or a child - don't do it! We put our 12 year old on one bed and tried to sleep on another - it was a nightmare! We are not large people, but it was just too narrow to even lay side by side on our backs without having arms hanging off the bed. Also, room is tiny, we had our suitcase open in the entry hallway and it was not letting us to open the entry door fully so we had to slide sideways to get in and out of the room. There was no other/better place to put our suitcase. But, its like this in many japaneese hotels so, no big deal. Breakfast was nice with good selection and sufficient sitting. Overall would stay again but only with no less than one bed per person!

The Quintessa Hotel Shinsaibashi is well located for walkability and access to the metro and many restaurants, bars, and shopping. The rooms are small and efficient, but the mattresses are too firm (reminiscent of a piece of cardboard on a cot). I am 6'3" and I just barely fit in the bathroom/shower, so anyone taller than 6'3" will need to be hunched in much of the hotel room. There are two laundry machines on the main floor that are easy to use, but take several cycles to dry a full load of washed clothing (plan 3 hours). The laundry is also very competitive since there are just two machines for the entire property. The breakfast was tasty each morning and the comic book library is a cool touch as well.

Customer service was mediocre at best. Not recommended for families, a bit too small. The front desk attendant rudely scolded me and my family for having candy and drinks in the lobby lounge area. He said there was no eating allowed in this area, despite other people in the past eating there. There no no signs indicating there is no eating in this area, and there are no other areas to eat in the hotel. The rooms are too small. Don’t bring your family here, pay more for the extra room.

The location is excellent—just a short walk from one of Osaka’s largest shopping districts. The staff were kind and helpful throughout our stay. One thing to be aware of is that the hotel requires both key cards to be returned at checkout, with a stated fine of ¥2,000 if one is missing. While we felt this fee was quite high for a plastic card, the staff were gracious enough to waive the charge after our request when we accidentally lost one. This policy was unique compared to other hotels we stayed at in Japan. The property also features an extensive collection of Japanese manga and anime books and magazines, which is a nice touch, though unfortunately there were no English editions available for us to enjoy.

Most ridiculous when check out at the lobby my family and kids want to gather ourselves before departing we were approach by front desk staff to leave premises immediately because we had already check-out. Zero hospitality you don’t feel welcome. Guest are just transactional. Would not return.

It will be good to vary a little bit and may have better coffee, but it’s my taste. I’d booked for 4 people and everyday I had to go to reception to ask additional 2 towels, because they only let 2. After claim, on last night, they arrange room correctly. Kids loved the bathtub. Amenities really nice.

I actually really liked this hotel. It was pretty clean, seems like bathroom/shower were recently renovated. Yes room is pretty small, but I read that a lot of Japanese hotels are like that. We were able to fit myself and 1 year old in a bed, and then my husband and 5 year old on the 2nd bed. To open our luggage, we had to open it by the room entrance and then close it up right away or else there would be no space to open doors; but it was doable even with 2 large luggages and a stroller. I also enjoyed the buffet selection for breakfast (eggs, sausage, noodles, fried chicken, rice, lots of veggie options, fish, soup, pastries, cereal, coffee machine, to name a few. Staff were friendly and spoke English. There was no issue with us checking in at midnight as opposed to 3pm. They had many free toiletries in the lobby (lotions, shaving cream, toothbrush, etc.) I loved that it was walking distance to the Dotonbori district and Shinsaibashi train station. We took the train to Nara to see the deer; train ride was less than an hour. If we needed to go further from our hotel like Universal Studios, we had no issues getting an Uber. They also allow you to leave your luggage in area by the entrance once you check out, in case you want to explore more! Overall, pretty good hotel to rest after a full day of exploring.
