We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Vista Namba. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating, and special thanks to Kondo for the warm hospitality. The hotel’s location is perfect, just steps away from all the Dotonbori action, with a 7-Eleven right beside the entrance and plenty of convenience stores such as FamilyMart and Lawson nearby. Our first room had a small rice leftover on the table, but the staff immediately moved us to a new room with no hassle at all. We really appreciated how efficiently they handled it. The bed was super comfy, and overall, it was a pleasant and relaxing stay. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Osaka.

We used tour company and they picked this hotel. Originally, were going to a different hotel but closer to the trip they put us in this hotel. When I went to read the review I was a little concern but I was like what can you do. I don't know what is going with people. This place was great. The location was a bit far from when we got off the JR rail but let me tell close to Dantobri. Then close to the food market which had a mix of food, shopping, and kitchen items. If you are looking for nightlife, this place is around the corner from night life. Then we took the metro to the Osaka World expo and on the way back it took us a different route and we passed by a family mart and Lawson. This hotel is super close to 7-ll as well. The room come with a refrigerator. The ice machine and a microwave at the lobby. The staff were so nice, they deliver our luggage that we have ship from Tokyo to Osaka up to our room. The are strict about check in time but they will storage your luggage so you can go an explore the area. The staff were so patient with me. I had them call the last hotel where my husband left his cell phone. They were kind of enough to hold the phone cell when it arrive to the hotel. We had plan to go to the Osaka World expo, I gave them my email address and they email while were in the expo that the cell phone arrived. We expected to return around 10 pm. but it was humid and crowded and we left early and made our way back to the hotel around 8 pm. I plan to come back to Osaka and I would like to stay at this hotel again. I hope too.

My previous visit to Osaka lasted a mere twenty-two hours and involved a capsule hotel, so this time around I decided to stay longer and in more comfort! The Hotel Vista is located a block or two up from the Dotonburi and directly up from Nippombashi metro station. In short it is somewhat near the thick of the action. My room was a Comfort Double, 1008 on the tenth floor. I’d say it was a standard size for a Japanese city hotel room. The layout is slightly different with a sink as you first enter with separate rooms for a shower and a toilet. The shower is in a dedicated little wet room. You have the choice of a semi-fixed raindrop head (which seemed to more dribble than flow) and a standard shower head on a hose which was nice and powerful. Interestingly there is a full-length mirror in there too, which of course instantly fogs up when you put the shower on! There is a safe which is in a decently accessible area, though it’s not big enough to fit an iPad in. There is also a small amount of hanging storage. I had breakfast included in my room rate, which is taken in the first floor lobby with a good view of the street below if you like to people watch. The selection was pretty good covering both Western and Japanese style food. Like a lot of hotels nowadays there is a small coffee machine which does take a small while to create something. Generally not a big problem unless you get a few people in a queue. The staff were friendly and helpful and spoke enough English if your Japanese doesn’t go that far. They also helped set up some luggage forwarding, though that was a bit chaotic as in the end I think three different members of staff ended up working on various bits of the process! A quick tip on how to get here if coming from Shin-Osaka or JR Osaka/Umeda and you don’t want to go outside much if it’s too hot/wet. You can walk between Namba and Nippombashi metro stations by using the underground Namba Walk shopping street, aim for the B exits. There are plenty of shops (including a Studio Ghibli one at time of writing) and restaurants down there for you to also check out. There is also a 7-Eleven pretty much underneath/next door to the entrance, so very handy if you need to pick up some drinks/snacks/etc on the way past. Overall I had a pleasant three night stay there and it was a good base to not only discover things locally but also take day trips to Kobe and Himeji. If I come back to Osaka, then I would consider staying here again.
