Hotel Pivot

Loved it! First time travelling alone to Osaka and would recommend. Very close to stations and good walking distance. Staff were friendly and the late check in time was a life saver! Great rooms too A

Dining is around the Tower area. Very good location and near the metro. Worth the price. Would definitely stay here again.

It was a great stay can’t complain!

Cheap, quiet, chill

My stay might have been quite long... but i loved staying here, very much! The staff was very kind, the room was super clean and the hotel has great amenities. I can strongly recommend this place to anyone!

It's my second stay here. Both times the service and quality are consistent. Staffs are attentive and polite and the ones that served me spoke reasonable English. Considering it's a budget Inn, the size is actually better than APA at the same price range. Area is instead in the more relatively sketchy area in Japan. But compared to certain cities in North America that I have been to which are a lot worse in comparison, I was not worried at all staying at Hotel Pivot.

Inexpensive as it is away from the Namba area (city centre), but the Shinsekai shopping arcade is only a 5-minute walk. Of course, other areas of Osaka can be reached by subway, and a station is present almost just at the front door. The hotel is also not far from the Shin-mamiya station on the Nankai line to get from/to Kansai Airport. I lugged two bags (on wheels) from/to that station without difficulty. Facilities in the hotel commons are minimal but quite alright for a tourist that will be exploring outside anyway. You can rent a bike too from the hotel but I had not done so during my visit. The time window in which you can request your room be cleaned is rather restrictive: only certain days of the week and before 9 am. There are kettles, irons available but you have to ask; they are not in the room. The hallways on the guest floor are winding and narrow, but the single-person room I had was spacey: the size of a normal bedroom, unlike the small single-person room at APA Hotel I got at Tenma some years ago. Air conditioning, refrigerator, and bathroom/shower were in perfect order for me. There were ample electrical sockets with USB as well. No issues with wifi. Staff was friendly and courteous. I understand Japanese so communication was not a problem for me, but I suppose you might encounter difficulty if you tried to ask for something complicated (like directions) in English.

Very clean and great, friendly staff.

Super close to Shinsekai, great location. Train station within 1-2 min walking distance. 35min walk from dotonburi. Staff were super friendly, room was very clean and had everything I needed. Great stay 10/10 no kitchen facilities in room but didn’t matter as they’ve got a kitchen area near the lobby which is free to use. Free coffee available from 5am - 11pm which was a lifesaver!

The hotel is really close to the Dobutsuen-mae Osaka Metro subway station, the Shin-Imamiya JR train station, and the Shin-Imamiya-Ekimae Hankai tram station for transportation. I also like how it's close to the Shinsekai district on the other side of the train tracks. The overall vibe of the hotel was calm and laid back. The staff was very courteous. There's only one elevator, but it wasn't too busy when I used it. My room had enough space for my large luggage. I appreciated that. While I was there, the hot water cuts in and out while I used it in the shower. Other than that, my stay was enjoyable

Overall the hotel was nice, very good if you’re traveling alone (from my experience) common amenities are offered and the staff is very friendly. The area around the hotel is not the best, not very safe either, especially at night. But other than that I would stay here again.

Hotel was in a bad area. Upon checking in, the staff made me write down my residence card number despite this not being required by any prefectural or regional law, it was only done because I am not Japanese despite the fact that I live here. Room smelled terrible the entire stay, like sulphuric eggs. The TV had no bluetooth or pay per view options, so relaxing in the hotel room ended up being very boring. It’s a pity, because the room itself looked nice, but I will not be patronizing this hotel again.

It is next to a train line so if you are a light sleeper, beware.

This hotel provides many facilities for free such as toothbrush toothpaste lotion serum etc., you can just walk in with your clothes that all!

It is very close to the subway, JR and Nankai railway.

Good place, staff friendly , close to namba and 20 minutes to all Osaka main places

nice, clean, convenience, affordable, good location.

Convenient place to stay with good facilities, short walk to train station and close to convenience stores. Only disadvantage is that showers are only on one floor, but for the price this was a minor inconvenience.

Does what it says on the ti and ok for location and few nights stay as near the station.

Very nice people, comfortable room. An explanation in English on how to use the airconditioner would be appreciated
