Good, near Donki, near the station. The hotel is clean, the staff is friendly, and the location is strategic, close to the station and restaurants. The rooms are comfortable and the facilities are complete. Perfect for vacations or business trips.
Staff so nice and the location is good
I enjoyed my stay at hotel Kaga. It was a great deal and even though I would have liked a private bathroom and shower you get what you pay for and I went in knowing I wouldn't have that.
If your on a budget or know you will spend most time out of the hotel I would highly recommend.
Hotel Kaga was a last minute booking + reasonable rates. It’s closest to the Osaka Loop train line at Shin-Imamiya station. The location is also perfect to get around to most of the prominent areas of Osaka.
I had a traditional style room (tatami mats). The operation is very basic, but clean. The AC/heater is solid and the WiFi is strong. There’s a mini fridge that I didn’t use. They maintain the building considering that it’s from the 1970s.
It’s similar to a hostel, but with more options like having private rooms. (Btw had a loud Chinese-speaking man next to my room. The walls are thin, so if you’re a light sleeper, then this place is not for you.)
You will pay for additional necessities like if you needed a towel, do laundry, rent the stove burner for cooking, etc. There’s a kitchenette on every floor adjacent to the bathroom. Water refill stations are on some floors. The microwave is on the main level near the vending machines.
The 6th/top floor has a Women Only designated shower/powder room. (Shampoo and body wash were provided.)
Overall, there’s a mix of travelers and locals living there. I’d likely stay there again to take advantage of going to Spa World next time (less than a 10 minute walk). There’s also a local bath/onsen place with dry saunas a couple blocks away.
Best regards and enjoy Osaka!
Very easy to locate and was a fairly short walk to the nearest station. Also was very quiet. Definitely recommended place to stay
