Hotel Kojan

“Good for a night or two”

Decor is a little dated, but the room is clean, comfortable and quite a good size by Japanese standards. The staff are brilliant, and so helpful with everything. Good option for a short stay, but would look elsewhere if you are looking to stay for longer.

“Great bargain for all travelers looking for something simple.”

Our room with two twins and one queen bed was spacious enough for three adults and one teen. Although we didn't ask for any type of service during our stay, the staff at the front desk were friendly.

Our room with two twins and one queen bed was spacious enough for three adults and one teen. Although we didn't ask for any type of service during our stay, the staff at the front desk were friendly. The hotel is quiet and although it's off the beaten path, it's close to everything. The nearest subway station is two blocks away and Dotonbori is a 10-15 minute walk. There are convenience stores like 7-11, Lawson and Family Mart close by. Breakfast is served every morning for a fee and there is a water station in the hotel to fill one's water bottles. This is especially convenient during the summer months. The hotel is kept clean and the room air conditioning keeps the room nice and cold. I'd definitely recommend this hotel for all types of travelers who want something simple. I'd definitely stay in this hotel again.

“Ok, but the worst of the 4 hotels I stayed at..”

This was the worst of the 4 hotels I stayed at on this, my first trip to Japan. Having said that, it was still okay, as the room itself had the essential aircon and mini-fridge, and the bed was comfortable. However, the window was completely blacked out - not with the usual semi-opaque material, but a solid black one so there was no inkling of what the weather was doing etc. Housekeeping was minimal, just new towels in a wicker box each day - bed was never made up etc. It's not as good as the others, which were all chain hotels, as this had more of a hostel feel. Very cramped reception area and groups of people outside the main doors smoking etc. One night some neighbouring guest was stamping or banging on walls, in weird patterns, until 2.40am, making it impossible to get any sleep. Also, there was building work going on (until mid-June 23 according to the signs) - the lift was covered in insulation materials, walls were half plastered and there was hammering starting at 8.40am, but I was up anyway so that didn't bother me. it's in a lively area, not too far from the bright lights of Dotonbori, but wasn't too noisy. So, it's ok but I'll stay somewhere else, probably a chain, if I'm in Osaka again.
