Doutonbori Crystal Hotel

At first I thought the location was ages away from the main strip at Dotonbori (but that's because I let my BF lead with directions and he led us around) when in fact, it was great! on the end of the bridge location and pit of the way and using the next subway line worked out to be perfect. The room had enough for 2 suitcases and a small table and chairs with a coffee station and fridge. We paid extra for the spa bath and it was totally worth it. Our toilet and bathroom was bigger and great. All in all, I would def stay here again. For a budget hotel, it was great $15000 yen a night was great.

the beds were extremely comfortable, the room was clean, and the towels were very lux as well the tv having netflix/hulu streaming options made it the best as it felt like home away from home. The air conditioner made the sleep incredible as it was cold and cozy after a long day walking in the heat. Also free drip coffee was a much appreciated touch.

Selected this hotel because we wanted to be close to Dotombori & we wanted to havea room that is not too small. We stayed in late February 2024 for 3 nights. Location is good being only about 5 -minutes to the Dotombori area. It is about 8 to 12 minutes walk to the subway stations. The room is very comfortable & for a Twin Room we had 2 single beds. Rooms are clean, the bathroom is a traditional Japanese style with the Onsen setup & the bathtub deep enough for one to take a nice good soak like at an onsen. Reception is super friendly & helpful. This was consistent with all the reception staff there at all the times. Have never stayed in this part of town but it is quiet, safe to walk around at night. There are 2 convenience stores less than 5 minutes walk away.

Great location to Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi, so if you want shopping and food, you want to be in this area. It is just far enough away from all the noise and lights, but easily walkable and safe. Room size was a tad bit small, but expected this as we sacrified room size for the convenient location. Something to consider is the bed size. Some budget hotels have double beds that can barely fit two people (you can estimate from the pillow spacing). This hotel has a good size bed for two people. Housekeeping is only upon request and only during certain hours, so keep that in mind. All in all, great value for money.

Location is good, really nice shower and bathroom.
