Hotel IL Cuore Namba

Very conveniently located for Nankai Namba Station (Airport Express rail service). Good for main tourist area (Dotonbori). However, very strict check-in procedures are annoying. 3pm on the nose and no a second sooner - this is not typical for almost every other hotel I’ve stayed at in Japan (there’s usually a bit of flexibility for a weary traveller).

Very convenient, near the the shopping area and major railways

Great location, clean rooms, excellent staff, kids friendly. Would stay here again in the future

Fast check-in and check-out. Great location : 3-min walk from Namba station (express train from KIX) and 5-min walk from Osaka-Namba station (Nankai Namba).

Nice, spacious room with everything you need (apart from a spoon to stir the coffee, haha). Everything clean and maintained. Lovely staff, especially Lee the friendly Korean receptionist 😊 I'll be back!

Room is clean and staff is good.

Convenient location, good room, and easy check in process. However, the downsides were: 1) One of the two twin beds was rollaway and not very comfortable. 2) The room temperature is determined per floor. Although the outside temperature was ~70 degrees (F), the room thermostat was set to “heating.” When I initially asked the Front Desk how to make the room cooler, they told me to “open the window.”😳 I thought that was absurd. I asked the Front Desk about getting a refund for the remaining nights, but since we pre-paid, that wasn’t an option. Instead, they agreed to change the thermostat for our entire floor to “cooling.” However, they advised that if another guest on our floor complained about being too cold, they would change the thermostat back to “heating.” (Fortunately, that didn’t happen.) 3) Toilet is an older model and a bit noisy. I’d recommend staying at other hotels (at a comparable price) in the area.

they always cleaning the room everyday., staff are nice, respectful and breakfast just fine.

Nice hotel in the centre of the action. Loud late at night though

Very nice hotel would come back!!

very limited breakfast choices, if its winter there is no airconditioning, we ask for help to turn on the air conditioning and was told to just open our windows but it was too noisy that you can hear all the cars . we just had to ise earplugs all night

Location was excellent, very close to namba station, shops, food, convenience store. Room was tidy.

Location!

Very friendly and helpful staff and great location.

Not bad location

I liked the staff’s. They’re friendly.

2 minutes walk to the Nankai Station. But located in the back street a little scarring to light hearted. But I will come again.

Great hotel and location. Just a block away from the namba train station and close to shops. Our only issues were the very small pillows and that the TV was just placed on the window desk (taking up about a third of the view) instead of being mounted on the wall. Very minor issues

Hotel Il Cuore Namba had a great location — super close to Namba Station and easy to get around — and the staff were very nice. However, overall it was one of our least favourite stays. The room and especially the bathroom were very small, which made it feel a bit cramped and uncomfortable. If you’re just looking for somewhere basic and convenient to sleep, it does the job.

What a great place to stay - right next door to Namba subway - short walk to Dotonbori Hotel staff very friendly and super helpful
