THE BASEMENT HOTEL Osaka Honmachi

The café from 2:00 PM and the bar from 5:00 PM are excellent, with a great selection of drinks. The Room is a bit small but cute, and the staff are wonderful. I will stay here again on business trips.

Stayed on a weekday with a friend. All rooms include access to the lounge service, so we enjoyed both tea time and bar time. The soft drinks offered great variety, including Perrier flavored soda, and many were new to us. At bar time, there was an impressive lineup of beers such as Minoh Beer, Singha, Tiger, Heartland, and Heineken. There were also Chamisul, Japanese sake, gin, sparkling wine, and more—it was hard to believe all of this was available as free drinks at this price. From 16:00 each day, there is a rotating event activity for guests; that day it was making bath bombs. With help from the staff, we had fun creating our own original bath bomb and it made a great souvenir. The location is very convenient—just steps from Honmachi Subway Station—and the stay offered excellent value for money.
