I stayed for 3 nights in mid April 2012 and paid less than 2000 yen per night! That includes a single bed complete with TV, VHS, free wi-fi, air-conditioning and a yukata (bathing robe)! The single room was kind of small, but considering a capsule would cost twice as much and I would be compacted into a space no bigger... More

I only stayed one night, and enjoyed my experienced. The staff spoke good english, were very friendly and helpful. The reception area was very inviting. There were often individuals or families eating at the large table after cooking in the small kitchen area. There were computers with internet to use. There were always baskets of free snacks. Location is excellent,... More

Stayed in Hotel Mikado for 7 nights in November 2011 and was really impressed given the very low price (about $30 NZD per night for a single room). The hotel is about 5 minutes walk from Shin-imamiya station (on the Osaka Loop Line), which makes it really convenient. Some people have commented that the area is a bit dodgy, and... More

I stayed here for 3 nights, but i spent most of my time for travelling and visitinng friends outside; therefore, i just came back hotel for taking shower and sleep! Even the location could be a minus point (known as dangerous area), it's not too hard to go to other famous attractions from here. Very close to Dotonburi area and... More

I stayed here twice in November and December 2010, with my younger brother, for 14 nights all up. We decided to hang the expense and have our own private rooms and we paid AUD25/night (about USD25) per room per night. I was incredibly impressed with the service we got for the price we paid. I'll start with the downsides, just... More

Only stayed here for one night but I must say I had a pleasant experience in it. They only charged me 1980 yen, which is really a steal. The room is quite small but I felt really comfortable. There's TV, a personal ref and the aircon works really fine. They also has a private shower room that you can use... More
