Grampus Inn Osaka Namba

Clean room, friendly staff. Will recommend.

The room itself was okay and appeared reasonably maintained, but the smell was horrible. The area around the bed had a strong urine-like odor that was impossible to ignore. There was even a bottle of Febreze in the room, which made me wonder if the hotel was already aware of the issue. Even after using it, the smell remained and made the room uncomfortable to stay in. The Wi-Fi was also extremely poor. The connection was so slow and unstable that I couldn’t even watch YouTube without constant buffering. In today’s travel environment, reliable internet is a basic expectation, and this hotel failed to provide it. Initially, I thought the room rate was reasonable, but after experiencing the odor and the terrible Wi-Fi, I don’t think it was worth the price. There are many better hotels and accommodations in the surrounding area within a similar price range that offer a much better overall experience. I would not stay here again and cannot recommend this hotel based on my experience.

Good location near the station. Basic stay and good size room.

Restaurants and shops were nearby. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Minutes from Dotonbori was an added bonus.

Quite central

めちゃ　いい　ところ　。　

The hotel is within walking distance to shopping malls and restaurants. The room had a stale smell upon entering.

It was fine. A little run down, a little noisy outside, no view, no decor, tiny private bathroom, not a great area, but not far from the station, etc. But good wifi, fairly comfortable bed, private bathroom...can't complain

Bed too bad

When we booked a room for the Grampus Inn, we knew that it was cheaper and that we should have lower expectations. We were looking for a budget inn, and that's what we got. HOWEVER, we expected a certain level of cleanliness. At first glance, the hotel was about the size we expected. There was a heater and hot water. The things we needed were there. The personnel was friendly enough. We thought the hotel was ok. As we were checking out the next morning, we accidentally flipped over the top blanket cover (kind of like a brown comforter). We found white stains that look like a specific human secretion. That was just disgusting. We will never be going to this place again. I can deal with many aspects of a budget inn, but human secretions on the sheets that our towels were placed on top of is where is where I draw the line.

Good location. Room was spacious enough for light travellers.

Good enough to sleep... not really as family stay Hotel

This is a very small Inn, not a hotel. It's alright if you just stay 1 night for transit. It's about 10-15 minutes walk from Namba JR station.

good service,clean and big room,but bad sound-proofing as there is two korean very noise after midnight and early morning.

The room was understandably small given its location in the Namba area. So was the television set and the so-called double bed. The hotel entrance could be easily missed as it was inconspicuous and narrow. There were no English language channels on the TV. Otherwise, a good no-fuss place for a short stay.

The hotel is located very close to the Namba station. Staff was very friendly. The room was quite small but that’s normal in Japan. Cleaness of the room was below standard. It was quite dusty on the ceiling and behind the table.

Good hotel if you want close to attractions. Room is roomy considering Japan. Average condition. Is ok for 1 or 2 nights.

The hotel is old but the room was spacious & comfortable. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful, providing directions & even an english map. I was also given a complimentary water bottle on arrival. The location is excellent. Walking distance from Dotomburi area & Namba station.

Open drain in bathroom, chemicals smell in room, drafts in all the windows, Just an all around brutal place to stay. We would have left as soon as we checked into the room, but no refunds from this place. The additional $20.00 per person for breakfast was a joke. It got you a coffee, 1 slice of toast, 1 oz of greens and a hard boiled egg.

Wonderful trip in Osaka. It is near to Namba station.
