Hotel Kojan Shinsaibashi

Solid 3 stars. The room we had was bigger and more spacious than our previous hotel in Ginza. Conveniently located near multiple train stations and Dotonbori. The lobby area smelled like food coming from the kitchen. It’s not always a pleasant smell. This hotel was worth the price we paid.

This is a great Hotel close to Dotonbori (about 10 min walk) and just a few steps away from a Subway station, there are Family Marts and 7-Elevens close by, which are a great plus, the staff is friendly and although not all of them speak perfect english, they do their best which is certainly appreciated. Breakfast is very good , being traditional Japanese/Korean dishes, I sent my luggage via KuroNeko and some packages from Amazon, they were kind enough to bring everything to my room automatically and were also kind enough to hold my luggage for a few hours on the day I checked out. My only concern is that Front Desk staff is not available 24/7, which makes sense, since the Hotel is small, and that they close the front door at night (you need your room key to get in) so if you forget or lose your room key while out, you will not be able to even get back on to the property (they have a phone number listed outside for emergencies) Based on the above, if you are coming from abroad, make sure you have a way to place phone calls in Japan, I did not have any issues with this but it's certainly something to keep in mind if you plan to stay out late. Will definitely return to this Hotel

친절하고 깨끗하고 정수기나 렌지등 시설도 넘좋았어요

Hotel Kojan was a comfortable and budget-friendly place to stay. The room was spacious, especially by Japanese standards, which we really appreciated. The staff were friendly and generally very helpful. The location was excellent—just a short walk to Dotonbori and surrounded by plenty of bars and places to eat. We highly recommend the onigiri place just a few doors down, and there’s also a nearby ramen spot that serves a delicious fire miso ramen. There was a bit of a damp smell in the room when we first arrived, but it went away after we kept the air conditioning running during our stay, so it wasn’t a major issue. We used the laundry service, which was convenient and a nice amenity. However, it’s worth noting that they seemed to use a hot drying setting, which caused some minor shrinking to our clothes. If you plan to use it, it might be a good idea to specify your preferences in advance. Still, it was great to have clean laundry taken care of. Housekeeping came daily to change towels and take out the trash, except on the second-to-last day. We’re not sure if that was intentional or just an oversight, but it’s something to be aware of. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and would recommend Hotel Kojan to travelers looking for an affordable, comfortable, and well-located stay in Osaka.

전체적으로 깨끗하고 무엇보다 이불이 푹신 푹신해서 좋았어요! 그리고 3인실에 침대가 3개로 나눠져 있다는 점도 큰 장점이었습니다! 다만 1층에만 공용 전자레인지가 있다는 점이 불편하고 방을 치워주는 서비스는 제대로 안 되는 날도 종종 있었어요! 하지만 전체적으로 깔끔하고 냄새도 안나서 좋았습니다.(가장 아쉬운 점은 호텔에서 도톤보리로 가는 길이 호스트나 몸 파는 그런 시설이 많아서 여자들끼리 다니기 무서웠다는 점..?)

It was a very small dated hotel with very few amenities. There’s a restaurant connecting to the lobby where you can smell cigarette smoke. No laundry facilities onsite. I stayed there 5 days and 4 nights, but did not receive any room cleaning. Only the trash was picked up and towels exchanged. The housekeeper was very nice. The owner / manager speaks English well. One of the female front desk staff didn’t seem friendly.

Breakfast area closed for renovations. Take out breakfast provided. Could have been notified prior to booking.

駅からも近く便利ですが、駐車場がないため時間がかかりました

The hotel is in a great area. The restaurant was under renovation, but we didn't have any inconvenience at all regarding that. We got a box-lunch for breakfast to eat in our rooms, which was very convenient because we took the leftovers for a picnic during the day. The only problem was the room (non smoking) smelt like tobacco, somebody definitely smoked there earlier. The staff was super super friendly and kind and helpful and helped us with all our inquiries and problems.

The hotel offered a clean and comfortable environment, ideal for guests seeking overnight accommodations while exploring the city. Its prime location provides exceptional convenience, further enhanced by a nearby laundromat offering excellent service. We had the pleasure of interacting with Maggie at the front desk, who provided invaluable assistance with dinner reservations. While the bathroom facilities were compact, they proved entirely functional for our needs. The beds were notably comfortable, and the hotel's proximity to numerous local restaurants is a significant advantage. This establishment represents a cost-effective option for a quality room.

bugs in the room and weird vibe overall tbh

The staff and crew were friendly. However, the building itself and room was undesirable. The room is not well ventilated. It has a strong smell and always feels humid. When the AC is turned on, the cool air also emits an odor. Our sink was also partially clogged. I understand that it is an older building, but I would expect upgrades and improvements like our shower curtains which were mouldy. Unfortunately, I would not return or recommend this hotel.

This was my second stay at Kohan.this time, when I checked in, the door to the room had been left open. A wet, dirty towel had been left on the rack in the bathroom. Other than this, the room was fine.

위치도 괜찮고, 친절하시고, 가족수에 맞게 수건도 잘 교체해 주시고, 체크아웃도 간편해서 좋았습니다. 다만 룸에서 퀴퀴한 냄세가 나고 엄청나게 큰 바퀴벌레가 나와서 너무나 놀라 잠을 설쳤네요..T T

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room could have been cleaner, somewhere between poor and average.

入住飯店時，房間霉味很重，雖然有與櫃檯人員反應，人員也很積極表示隔天會請清潔人員消毒，但結果無用，仍然霉味很重！心想只居住幾天，後來就沒再與櫃檯人員反應了！

The room was a bit smelly.

The staff were excellent, especially the reception lady. She was very helpful and polite. The room has no view but looking into someone elses front door, so no privacy there. The room was not cleaned properly as you could find dust everywhere. The location for excellent.

It was located in a convenient location. There were many dining options within walking distance. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The property is a little worn. The room smelled a bit musty and one of the beds had damp covers on it. It felt as though they took the bedding out of the dryer a bit too early. There was no view. The only view we had was of another buildings staircase.

Overall good experience. The room was big and good location. Room and hotel was clean but could do with some touchups. Bathroom is very small and extractor fan didn't seem to do much so once you had a shower the whole bathroom had condensation everywhere. Had required facilities provided such as hairdryer and small fridge. The rooms aren't the most sound proof so could hear noise from people in the street late at night and construction work from 7am on some days but this can't be helped. Was able to drop bags off before check-in which is always helpful.

房間隔音不太好,經常聽到外面聲音

여유있는 객실 크기

Room was large, which I was thankful for. Easy walking distance to Dotonbori, a plus !

酒店位置方便，不過隔音效果比較差，常聽到外面走廊的客人說話，常常給他們嘈醒

Not the friendliest staff or cleanest hotel but the location is great. Rooms are a bit bigger than the average in Japan but very dark with poor lighting.

Excellent location, walking distance to metro station and to alot of amenities. We had family room, which was large for Japan standards, would have appreciated a bigger toilet though and the room had a strange “musky smell “ when we walked in! (Soon went away once we had the A/C on for 24hrs….) for location alone, I would recommend this place 👍

The room is big, hotel staff is very kindly, the room is clean.

Worst of the 3 hotels I've stayed at in Japan so far. Was unaware there was building work on (until mid June according to signs). So lift was covered in insulation materials, walls bare, banging started at 8.40 am but I was up anyway at that time. Room fine, has the essential aircon and fridge. Window completely blacked out with some black material glued to it for some reason. Bed good, 3/4 size in my single room. Was a super noisy guest one night making banging noises near continuously until 2.30am. Small hotel, you have to almost squeeze by reception, and always groups loitering outside the front door for some reason. Would choose another place next time in Osaka, as the other 2 hotels I've tried so far (Tokyo and Kyoto) are so much better for similar money.

Overall good experience. The room was big and good location. Room and hotel was clean but could do with some touchups. Bathroom is very small and extractor fan didn't seem to do much so once you had a shower the whole bathroom had condensation everywhere.

部屋はとても綺麗でした。 シャワーの出力も良かったです。 朝方、外の声がうるさく感じました。 コンビニも近いのでその点は便利でした。

Hotel was convenient and clean. Staff member Toshi was awesome. He speaks perfect English and was able to recommend good restaurants.

We selected this accommodation for our friends due to their preference for a budget-friendly hotel. Its proximity to Dotonbori is a significant advantage, and the staff consistently demonstrated exceptional friendliness and helpfulness. While the hotel exhibits some age, it maintains a secure and clean environment. The bathroom, though compact, proved entirely functional. The beds were notably comfortable, and despite the smaller room size, it perfectly met our friends' requirement for a place to sleep after exploring the city. The surrounding area offers a wide array of dining options and shopping opportunities, with convenience stores conveniently located directly across the street. This establishment provides a safe and highly convenient option for those primarily seeking a comfortable place to rest after a full day of city exploration.

Thank you to all the staff for your outstanding service. It was my second time staying at this hotel and would go back again and again. The room was spacious and clean. Perfect location near the Shinsaibashi shopping district and Dotonbori.

This hotel is conveniently located in dotonbori-namba city center and also the train station as well. The staff are very accommodating and helpful. Also, they store your luggage at no charge after checking out until 11pm. Would definitely stay here again the next time we visit Osaka

The front desk was friendly and we enjoyed our stay.

スタッフの対応がとても良かった。手荷物を早く預かってもらい、チェックアウト後も遅くまで預かってもらいありがたかった。。。

The hotel manager waa very nice and he ensured that me and the rest of my group were all on the same floor so that we could be closer together

El hotel está muy bien comunicado a una estación del tren cerca y caminando a la zona de Dotombori

Great location. Far enough from the busy areas. Convenient and accessible.

Close by to great nightlife, still reasonably quiet and good transportation access

We loved Hotel Kojan! The location is great with easy access to delicious food and shopping. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend staying here if you are in Osaka!

Nice little hotel in a quiter part of Shinsaibashi while still not being too far from the more bustling areas of Osaka. During daytime and early evening hours, the several closeby Crysta underground mall entraces allow easy access to the several nearby train stations

Great location in Shinsaibashi. Walkable, good price.

Walking distance to subway station.

I really liked this hotel. The location is perfect if you want to experience Osakas night scene and still be able to walk home afterwards. My room wasn't the biggest, but the bed was comfy and everything you need is there. The breakfast is also the best hotel breakfast I have ever had!

駅からも近く便利ですが、駐車場がないため時間がかかりました

Location is amazing close to metro n Namba but there is construction going on to improve the hotel so i guess it will be better next time. Free breakfast was packed not buffet as advertised.

조식 포함되어있는데, 조리사님이 한국인분이셔서 그런지 모두 한식으로 조식이 나왔습니다. 맛도 너무좋고 숙소도 생각과 다르게 많이 넓어서 만족도 100% 입니다.

Great location. Good room size. Small shower room. Korean breakfast in attached restaurant was good and reasonably priced.

Breakfast area closed for renovations. Take out breakfast provided. Could have been notified prior to booking.

朝食の満足度が高かった。宿泊したときはカレー、味噌チゲ、野菜ビビンパのいずれかの定食から選択でき、味噌チゲを選択。少し辛味のある豆腐味噌汁のようなチゲスープと白米、漬物、目玉焼き、たっぷりの韓国海苔で、味も量も大満足でした。 客室もきれいです。

조식을 한식으로 주는게 좋습니다. 방금 크지만 화장실이 작아요

At first it wasn't bad, when we got there it was difficult to find out if they received our bags, they were sure they didn't know what we were talking about, until I showed them pics of our bags, and then they said they had put them in our room already. That was a nice moment. Two of the staff members were great, the girl and the man with the US accent. Everyone else I won't speak on. The room was lovely except they said they had this eco cleaning thing, which meant we never had our room cleaned except for the day before last. But even then they left the bins unchanged. The pillows had feathers in, I was allergic to them, then one guy I told proceeded to tell me there weren't any, of course I took picture proof that there were. He decided to give us towels to put in pillow cases as replacements... Anyway, the other man found pillows for us eventually but not before housekeeping put more of the allergen pillows on the bed, my face was swollen for 4 days... Also the breakfast was DIABOLICAL! After day one I decided not to eat it and went to Lawsons everyday, which increased our costs. Expedia tried to get in touch with the hotel to gety breakfast refunded, the hotel just ignored them, ha ha, you can't make this stuff up. I will say the room looked nice and was spacious and had charging ports in good places. None of that was enough to save the bad experience overall. There's more but I'd be here all day.

The hotel is in a great area. The restaurant was under renovation, but we didn't have any inconvenience at all regarding that. We got a box-lunch for breakfast to eat in our rooms, which was very convenient because we took the leftovers for a picnic during the day. The only problem was the room (non smoking) smelt like tobacco, somebody definitely smoked there earlier. The staff was super super friendly and kind and helpful and helped us with all our inquiries and problems.

Hotel Kojan's location can't be beat! It's close to Dontonbori and literally three minutes from Shinsaibashi station. For a budget hotel, the rooms are surprisingly big. Rooms are also clean. My family of three stayed in a single room with three large twin beds (felt like a double bed). The staff are all incredibly accomodating and friendly, and they all speak fantastic English, too. I really enjoyed all my conversations with the staff there. Breakfast is a traditional Korean and Japanese dishes. There is also toast with jam, and cereal. If you love staying hydrated like my family and I, there is a water cooler in lobby which can be used 24/7. I stayed at two other hotels whole in Japan, and Hotel Kojan was the only hotel to offer this.

Very good staff, excellent breakfast, quality and price you can’t go wrong. Very satisfied!
