Hotel Pivot Shin-Imamiya Ekimae

It was close to a couple of train stations. They let me check in early which I was very grateful for. They did have some toiletries for free, but you had to pay for some eg, razor.... which had been free at other hotels. Reception was friendly. Room was ok, towels were slightly small & thin. Being close to train stations, definitely heard the trains going by.

スタッフにホテル近辺の情報を分かりやすく教えてもらったので助かった。 駅が近いので列車の音が聞こえるけど気になるほどではなかったし、エアコンも使いやすくて快適でよく眠れた。

清潔感はありますが、浴槽がないので、本当にただ泊まるだけなら安価ではあるので最適です。土地柄か周辺の道路に交通量が多く、週末は暴走族で騒音が難点です。

Super close to Shinsekai, great location. Train station within 1-2 min walking distance. 35min walk from dotonburi. Staff were super friendly, room was very clean and had everything I needed. Great stay 10/10 no kitchen facilities in room but didn’t matter as they’ve got a kitchen area near the lobby which is free to use. Free coffee available from 5am - 11pm which was a lifesaver!

Inexpensive as it is away from the Namba area (city centre), but the Shinsekai shopping arcade is only a 5-minute walk. Of course, other areas of Osaka can be reached by subway, and a station is present almost just at the front door. The hotel is also not far from the Shin-mamiya station on the Nankai line to get from/to Kansai Airport. I lugged two bags (on wheels) from/to that station without difficulty. Facilities in the hotel commons are minimal but quite alright for a tourist that will be exploring outside anyway. You can rent a bike too from the hotel but I had not done so during my visit. The time window in which you can request your room be cleaned is rather restrictive: only certain days of the week and before 9 am. There are kettles, irons available but you have to ask; they are not in the room. The hallways on the guest floor are winding and narrow, but the single-person room I had was spacey: the size of a normal bedroom, unlike the small single-person room at APA Hotel I got at Tenma some years ago. Air conditioning, refrigerator, and bathroom/shower were in perfect order for me. There were ample electrical sockets with USB as well. No issues with wifi. Staff was friendly and courteous. I understand Japanese so communication was not a problem for me, but I suppose you might encounter difficulty if you tried to ask for something complicated (like directions) in English.

The hotel is really close to the Dobutsuen-mae Osaka Metro subway station, the Shin-Imamiya JR train station, and the Shin-Imamiya-Ekimae Hankai tram station for transportation. I also like how it's close to the Shinsekai district on the other side of the train tracks. The overall vibe of the hotel was calm and laid back. The staff was very courteous. There's only one elevator, but it wasn't too busy when I used it. My room had enough space for my large luggage. I appreciated that. While I was there, the hot water cuts in and out while I used it in the shower. Other than that, my stay was enjoyable

駅から近く清潔で設備も充実しているが、路線がすぐ近く 電車の騒音がかなり気になる

Service is good, can speak and listen in fluent English. Counter staff explain the rule of accommodation in details. But the disadvantage is room cleaning only for 3days in a week, it is inconvenient for consecutive living visitors. Also, toothbrush cannot allow for pick at lobby. No bath is provided, only shower.

飯店右轉50公尺或左轉100公尺各有一間全家，右邊全家對面就是JR新今宮，從關西機場搭南海電鐵在新今宮下車走一段路可抵達，距離通天閣走路不到10分鐘，雖然在西成區，但近年大阪政府有在整治，主幹道安全性基本不用太擔心，單人房小歸小，冰箱電視桌椅廁所浴室洗手台該有的都有，奇蹟九連休中的1/2-1/4入住一晚約900台幣，非常適合獨旅。

My stay might have been quite long... but i loved staying here, very much! The staff was very kind, the room was super clean and the hotel has great amenities. I can strongly recommend this place to anyone!

청결함. 혼자편하게 쉬기 좋음. 전철역과 가깝고 오락시설, 메가돈키호테, 워터파크와 가까움. 대로변인데도 소음이 없음. 침대와 배게가 편안함.

房間基本上很乾淨，一個人住也蠻舒服的，但是晚上會有飆車的聲音跟救護車的聲音，除非真的很累，不然真的會吵到無法入睡

房間乾淨，交通非常方便，附近機能也很好，餐廳便利商店都很近，唐吉訶德走路也是5分鐘左右就到了，非常讚！

2回目ですが、清潔感があります。 禁煙部屋を取ったつもりが、喫煙部屋でしたが、すぐに部屋を変えてもえました。 感謝です。

部屋は綺麗で新しい。地下鉄の駅がすぐにあるので交通の便は抜群。

少し外部の電車の音とかバイクの音が聞こえてきましたがずっと聞こえる訳では無いので、気にしなければ良いホテルだと思います。 部屋の清掃が行き届いていました。気持ちよく利用する事が出来ました。

Staff was helpful, room was clean and nice, and you can't beat the location, especially for walkability and proximity to the subway.

Very clean and great, friendly staff.

お値段以上でした！！ 清潔感もありました！！

環境嘈雜，會有列車經過的聲音，房間也稍舊，由於交通方便，考量到其價位，如果對上述沒要求的話很適合

Hotel discreto nei pressi delle torre tsutentaku, ben collegato con la metro al centro e all'aeroporto. Staff cordiale e disponibile. Camere molto essenziali, letto non molto comodo, manca di una testiera, TV molto piccolo, lavabo in camera .

電車の音がうるさいが泊まるだけなら問題ない

It is next to a train line so if you are a light sleeper, beware.

Mi sono trovato molto bene in questo hotel il quale è situato in una posizione comoda per raggiungere le zone di interesse sia a piedi che con i mezzi. I difetti si riscontrano nel letto che non risulta dei più comodi, e nella doccia dove a volte l'acqua non fuoriesce per un pochino di tempo.

Loved it! First time travelling alone to Osaka and would recommend. Very close to stations and good walking distance. Staff were friendly and the late check in time was a life saver! Great rooms too A

Hotel was sufficient for me to stay during my visit to japan. There’s a convenience store (FamilyMart) near the hotel if you want to buy some snacks for the go. But not that far from the hotel are some restaurants that offer sushi or ramen. You have two train stations, one is Dobutsuen-Mae for Osaka Metro and the other one is Shin-Imamiya for the JR-Lines. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

It's my second stay here. Both times the service and quality are consistent. Staffs are attentive and polite and the ones that served me spoke reasonable English. Considering it's a budget Inn, the size is actually better than APA at the same price range. Area is instead in the more relatively sketchy area in Japan. But compared to certain cities in North America that I have been to which are a lot worse in comparison, I was not worried at all staying at Hotel Pivot.

Service is good, can speak and listen in fluent English. Counter staff explain the rule of accommodation in details.

Location and value for money

機場可以直達 前往其它據點也很便利

Overall the hotel was nice, very good if you’re traveling alone (from my experience) common amenities are offered and the staff is very friendly. The area around the hotel is not the best, not very safe either, especially at night. But other than that I would stay here again.

近くにスパワールドや飲食店街があり立地がいいです。駅近なので電車の音が遅くまで響きますが気にしない方は丁度良い値段で宿泊できます。

Dining is around the Tower area. Very good location and near the metro. Worth the price. Would definitely stay here again.
