Sumiyoshi Higashi Station × Accommodation With Japanese CuisineHighly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan

The hotel is comfortably pleasant and clean, so you can stay without any inconvenience. The breakfast is delicious, and the staff are wonderful. If you’re coming from another prefecture to visit Suminoe Boat Race Track, it’s an ideal choice. There are many great places to eat nearby, and it also has easy access to the subway, making it a very convenient hotel to use.

I discovered this place on TikTok and decided to stay during the Expo. Conveniently located near the station, with a convenience store and coin laundry nearby. This is my second time staying here. For meals, both sushi rice and plain white rice are available, making it hard not to go for seconds! The egg yolks are rich, so I highly recommend trying TKG (tamago kake gohan). The large public bath offers a shampoo bar and even has a covered open-air bath—perfect for relaxing as long as you like. Free iced tea, coffee, snacks like rice crackers, and cookies were also delightful touches. True to its name "Namba," I walked back from Namba Station and even explored Shinsekai on foot. I'll definitely stay here again when visiting Osaka!

Whenever I shared requests or questions with the front desk (such as how to get additional coffee or amenity requests), they responded promptly. I asked the front desk several times during this stay, and each time they kindly assisted me with a smile, for which I am very grateful. The location is close to the station, and the Room was very clean and hygienic—I would like to stay again next time.

Even before our stay, you emailed to let us know that the Room we had reserved would not have the view we requested, which left a very positive impression on us. After reading these Reviews, I was a little worried about how long check-in might take and about the Room’s smell, but there were no issues at all. That said, I felt the check-in process could be made a bit quicker. We were completely satisfied with everything—the view from the Room, the atmosphere, and how easy it was to use the bathroom area. Above all, every staff member was full of hospitality and truly wonderful. It made us feel reassured and happy. We also liked the Club Lounge’s pleasantly casual atmosphere—it wasn’t stiff or formal at all. We enjoyed drinks such as vodka freely. When we visit Osaka again, I’d like to make a Reservation for a Room with a north-facing view and stay here again.

I stayed here along the line for a concert in Takaishi City. The location was convenient, check-in was straightforward, and the room was spacious—overall a very comfortable stay. As a personal note… the bathtub felt a bit shallow. Also, my name was entered incorrectly at check-in, but the front desk staff were very pleasant, so it didn’t leave me with a bad impression. If I have the chance, I’d like to stay again and make use of the on-site Facilities as well.

I stayed for two nights with my daughter with breakfast included. First of all, the Hotel was clean, and the staff had a great, welcoming atmosphere. The drink bar, one complimentary alcoholic welcome drink, and the fun service of making and eating takoyaki ochazuke yourself were also a nice touch. From the Room, Tsutenkaku looked absolutely beautiful, but the Room felt smaller than I expected—you can’t really open two suitcases. The shower water pressure was strong, and it was easy to adjust the temperature. Amenities: towels are exchanged upon request, and you can take as many loungewear sets and toothbrushes as you need from the lobby. There was also a hair iron in the Room, which was very helpful for women. It was also great to have a coin laundry on the first floor. Everything at the breakfast buffet was delicious; I just wish there had been kushikatsu on the second day’s menu. It was also very helpful that they could store our luggage both before check-in and after check-out. I would definitely stay here again when visiting Osaka.

I stayed the night before a hospital appointment, and it was so close that I didn’t have to worry even if I overslept. The Hotel is simple, and the front desk is pleasantly straightforward without being overly friendly. However, the unit bath shower curtain smelled. Since it’s between two stations, there are few shops or convenience stores nearby, which is inconvenient, but the area is quiet, easy to walk around, and safe.

Located in the heart of Shinsekai, it was very convenient and I was very satisfied. I would have preferred a slightly larger toilet, but the value for money is excellent. I would like to stay again.

The staff kindly assisted us when we left our luggage before check-in. The Room was clean, quiet, and allowed for a good night's sleep.

I had a zazen meditation experience and tried shakyo (Buddhist sutra copying). It was very relaxing. The zazen session was mainly for international guests, but I still enjoyed it and found it a great experience. They kindly mailed me the shakyo materials they had forgotten to give me, along with a letter—thank you very much. I was able to relax at such a thoughtful Accommodation. I also received a leaflet map of the temple district, but I didn’t have enough time to visit many temples, so next time I’d like to set aside more time for that as well.

The stay was relatively short as the main purpose was visiting the Osaka Expo, but overall it was comfortable with almost no stress. The adjacent onsen facility had excellent water quality, and the facility as a whole was in good condition. The room was comfortable with no issues, and while the breakfast buffet initially seemed ordinary, as expected of Osaka, the taste turned out to be great. Minor downsides include the poor quality of toothbrushes provided. Additionally, although it didn’t bother me personally, most guests were inbound tourists making it quite lively. Overall, I would rate this above average in terms of both cost performance and quality.

Stayed for 3 nights with my daughter, No Meals Included. The Room was very clean and quiet, but it was too compact, making it a bit challenging to open even a small suitcase (if both of us opened our suitcases at the same time, the floor space was completely occupied). It was convenient that we could store suitcases under the bed when not in use. The chair had wheels and could be moved easily, but due to the narrow space in the Room, moving it around was still difficult. A bit more space would have been ideal. The shower curtain in the bathroom was too short and barely reached the edge of the bathtub; water splashed outside when using the shower. A longer curtain would be better. As for the refrigerator, a salad I stored overnight froze by morning due to its strong cooling power—next time I'll pay more attention to placement and temperature settings. I used the laundry facilities; they were convenient as various payment methods were accepted besides coins. However, there were only two washing machines available, so including drying time meant waiting quite long. Adding one or two more machines would improve this. At checkout time, I realized I might not make it by 10 AM due to packing delays. When I requested an extension, staff kindly informed me that becoming a member allows free extensions until 11 AM and promptly assisted me with this option—I truly appreciated their support. I will definitely consider choosing your Hotel again for future stays!

I stayed on August 23, 2026, but the LAN port in Room 704 was not usable (unable to connect to the internet). Wi-Fi works without any issues.
