I stayed for five nights here and it was a very good experience staying here! my twin room has two single beds of good quality mattress (a bit firm) and nice thick blanket. the room size is okay, understandable as most hotel room on this budget in big cities in Japan is usually very compact and small. the room lacks racks / place to put your luggage, however, there is daybed / sofa that i put my luggage into. there is water heater and two cups, but lack of instant coffee / tea, however, at the lobby, they provide good quality all you can drink coffee, tea, soda and etc, from 3pm to 10am. bathrobe is in drawer. slippers are provided The room is clean, well lit but the only windows is frosted glass so can't see anything outside. bathroom is well sized, with bathtub and shower head too. standard bathroom amenities are all provided and complete and good quality. even better, they provide sachets of body lotion, cleansing oil, toner, shaving cream and after shave lotion! However, they implement what they call as 'eco-cleaning', thorough cleaning and changing of blanket and linen is only done on 3rd day of your stay, however, the staff will replenish all of your amenities everyday and also replace towel. wifi works great, airconditioner excellent too. location wise, its in the center of Osaka, very near to the dotonbori, shinsaibashi and namba area, which means, its in the centre of food-mecca of osaka. there are two metro line nearby too that will get you anywhere. if you are returning to KIX airport, a 10-15 min walk to namba station north entry is easy. another highlight of my stay is their staff is so friendly, particularly Jason who speaks english really well! he even took initiative to provide us with huge paper bag after seeing is bringing lots of goods on separate plastic bag. thank you so much Jason, you are what every hotel need on reception desk :)

“Small, clean hotel”

We were surprised with the size of the rooms that we booked. It's very small and tight, but that's to be expected with most of the hotels in Japan. The rooms are very clean, including the bathrooms. The hotel is near the train stations, and restaurants are all close by. A good 10-15 min walk to … Mehr

“What a gem in the middle of Dotonbori!”

We stayed here on the night of 4/27/2024. We had only one evening (actually 14 hours) in Osaka before heading out to Kyoto the next morning. After spending countless evenings watching videos on YouTube about things to do and places to stay, we decided that all we wanted to do after we arrived that evening was to explore the food scenes in Dotonbori. We chose the IAM Hotel because it was in Dotonbori. Though it had decent reviews and looked good in videos, we were not sure what to expect. We did not arrive at the hotel until after 8pm on a Saturday night. What a gem this hotel turned out to be! The front desk was on the second floor in what looked like a small but modern apartment building in the middle of Manhattan. The staff were friendly and professional, and spoke enough English for us to communicate. We had room #801, a corner Japanese-style Superior Family Room that we booked through Agoda. The room was beautiful and very spacious. To the right of the entrance hall was a good-sized bathroom with bench shower, a soaking tub, and a separate vanity with sink. To the left was a separate water closet with a bidet. Opening the door straight ahead revealed our large Japanese-style bedroom. On the left side was a sitting area with tatami, fridge, safe, and a deep closet. On the right was a raised wooden platform with two mattresses. They were comfortable. Even though the hotel was in the center of Osaka’s nightlife, the room was very quiet. Our reservation through Agoda included breakfast served in the lounge. We chose the Japanese breakfast and enjoyed our full course meal with miso soup, appetizers, fish and steamed rice. The staff who served us were friendly. The hotel is located on a covered walk street. Our car had to drop us off and pick us up on the main street, and we walked about 1/2 block. It was an easy walk. This is not a 5-star full service luxury hotel; but it is well managed, clean and comfortable. The only reasons we did not give 5 stars were (1) the staff, though friendly and professional, did not provide exceptional services that were above and beyond their call of duty, and (2) the hotel does not provide many amenities. But the room is large and well equipped, and the amenities they do offer are nice and attractive. Most importantly, we loved the location that allowed us to explore the Dotonbori neighborhood with ease. We highly recommend it.
