We booked this hotel fairly close to our travel date as our other hotel let us down but this one didn't disappoint. We had two Standard Twin rooms and although the hotel is older, the rooms were still well maintained and presentable. The rooms were the most spacious of any we stayed in in Japan, the beds were comfortable and it was quiet. The bathroom was small but functional, a bit like a cruise-ship bathroom. The foyer was pleasant with plenty of seating and the free beer/spirits/soft drinks and ice cream in the afternoons/evenings was most enjoyable. The best part about this hotel is the location though. It really doesn't get any better than this. Right in the happening Dotonbori restaurant district and very close to the Namba stations (both Metro and JR) and the Shinsaibashi shopping area.

The best hotel. Of all the hotels I went, I liked this one better. They had a free non-alcoholic drinking area. The reception area is very pleasant. It has free massage chairs. The staff is super friendly and friendly. Left in the same street of dotonbori and to 1 minute of family mart. They had a free stuff area with toothbrush, face masks, among others.

Fantastic location - doesn’t get much better than this. This was a great hotel with a decent sized room. The air conditioning worked very well (it was well over 30 degrees outside) and while the communal stairs and halls were hot, the room was quickly cooled. We were always out exploring so missed most of the free food and drinks - but we enjoyed the ice cream when we had the chance. Reception staff were very kind and helped us get a taxi on our last day. We loved the giant heads outside! We would stay here again if we come returned to Osaka.

The amenities are amazing! I had no idea they offered pocket wifi. I've never seen that at a hotel before. They had free dried packaged ramen one night, but it was sadly not vegetarian. They had drinks on tap another night, including Asahi beer and juice. They had ice cream one night- chocolate or vanilla. I saw others participating in their game night (Jenga). The location was very conveniently near the train station, but I found it thanks to Google maps. Had I not had wifi availability in Japan, I'm not sure how I well I would have fared as from the train station it wasn't far but did involve several turns into a side street. The hotel staff were very friendly. There's a lot of shopping in the underground train station. We had a mishap with footwear and needed new footwear ASAP, and luckily found a shoe store open late that night, albeit with difficulties navigating to the Namba Walk store, as Google maps does not differentiate clearly when something is under vs. above ground.

Short walking distance to the main shopping street and Namba train station. Many convenient stores and restaurants around the hotel. Staff at the reception were very helpful and friendly, Housekeeping staff did a good job to keep our room clean every day. There is a daily happy hours at lobby where the in-house guests could enjoy free drinks, tea, ice-cream and also free cup noodles during the night.
We stayed 3 nights in Standard Twin room 18sqm, sufficient space for two persons with big suitcase (king-bed room has only 13sqm size). Unfortunately, bathroom is very tiny, we are quite tall persons, so we hit here and there while using shower facility. Also, sound insulation is not vey good, we heard people talking at the corridor during the night time which is so disturbing.

Rooms were comfortably sized (compared to Tokyo's micro-efficiency rooms for similar price range). Lives up to the oddball kitschy-grotesqueness of this district of Osaka. Pros: great location (foot/subway), good sized rooms, funny things (for students/kids) like free ice cream/drinks/cup o'noodles in the evening Cons: Not as clean as other hotel stays this trip (bathroom vaguely unsanitary smelling 6/10 would be my rating) But all in all, pleasant enough for my tween and I.

Access from Shin-Osaka by JR lines requires 3 different trains. Easier to pay (280 Yen) for the Midosuji Line on Osaka City Subway from Shin-Osaka straight to Namba Station (take the Exit 25 and when on the street do a 180 turn, walk ahead and take the 2nd left. Hotel will be down on your left. If you go over the river you are lost.

The Hotel has magnificent pillar statues out the front which are so unique to see in Japan. They represent the faces of Asian, Western, African and Arabian people.

The Hotel rooms are very small, very small showers, clean and the cost is probably not that cheap. Notwithstanding that they provide free wifi, laptops, bikes, coffee, tea and even mildly alcoholic drinks in your bar fridge.

There is a lot of construction noise happening when I was there in February 2020 from the next door building which is being demolished or renovated.

The main foyer is a meeting place for hotel guests as well as Groups attending conferences there. Outside food is allowed in the front foyer meeting area (first time I have seen outside food almost welcomed). You can get coffee and tea there as well as access to free computers.

If you walk out of the hotel and turn right, you will be in the middle of Dotonbori proper.

If in Osaka again I would definitely stay at the Dotonbori Hotel.

The hotel is very conveniently located at the heart of Dotonbori and also near Kuromon Market. Rooms are clean and cozy. The staff are welcoming and friendly. There is free ice cream, cup noodles and alcoholic beverages in the lobby daily in the afternoon. I will definitely look this place up whenever I am in Osaka again.

Dontonburi Hotel is in a great location - super close to the heart of Osaka's nightlife. Room was basic but adequate. There are free refreshments for guests in the lobby - beer, sake, soft drink, coffee, tea and ice cream which was a nice little perk.

Yes they do have standing shower rooms, but with a small threshold, probably 2-3 inches.
Answer from 道頓堀ホテル

Dear Guest, Please take the Nankai line from the airport, get off at Namba station and leave via exit no. 25. The hotel is 5 minutes walking distance from there. Regarding early check in, it may or may not be possible depending on the cleaning situation that day, but the hotel can certainly take care of your bags for you if you wish to begin your adventure in Osaka as soon as possible.

Hi - I don’t know about early check-in. The hotel is about a 7 minute walk from JR Namba and very convenient to the Namba metro. We arrived and departed by train and both so simply took the Metro. I believe OCAT is near JR Namba which is within easy walking distance. Hope this helps.
