Agora Place Osaka Namba

The location is exceptional, Dotonbori is right behind the hotel, Namba station is really close and practical (use exit 24). Amenities station and currency exchange machine at the lobby are very practical. The room was clean and decently sized, the bathroom was great and water pressure was very good. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Washing machines at the 11th floor are also very practical to have.

The location was fantastic. Just on the other side of Dotunburi but far enough away that the noise doesn’t disturb you. This location in particular was super easy to find (you walk from the Big Crab straight through the mall opposite, and you’re basically at the hotel). We enjoyed the self-serve amenities (you help yourself to small face wash, combs etc in reception) AND COIN LAUNDRY on the 11th floor. It was 300yen to wash (took 40 mins) and 100yen to dry (30 mins). Tip is to go early in the morning vs late night before, as the machines were busy at night. It auto-dispenses detergent however my clothes came out clean (I guess) but no detergent smell. For a basic room, it was very good value and we were in easy walking distance/connection to what we wanted to see, with lots of choices for food around. We were only there for 1 night. Rooms are small, which is the Japanese standard. But we are short people and packed light so it didn’t bother us.

Loved that the powder room lead to seperate toilet and shower, each in their own compartment. Had small nook to hang clothes. Only stayed overnight as we were headed to Tokyo the next day. However we came back later in the week and stayed for 6 nights in a Premium Twin. That is in a seperate review. But like to clarify for others, the beds in the standard twin room are about 95cm wide. It has a better bathroom set up (everything seperate) Although they allow children to stay free (booking will be accepted) it will NOT be a comfortable to share this size bed. We only did this bc everything else was sold out and we only needed over night stay. We had 2 adults 2 primary school kids. The Premium Twin room has wider beds (120cm) and was quite comfortable for parent /child to share a bed. We did this when we returned from Tokyo. However the bathroom set up was not as good. The powder room was shared with toilet. And shower was connected to powder room.

If you have a full day itinerary and you need a comfortable place to rest, sleep, take showers, this place is for you. Location: if arriving from airport train, go to b2 level, find your way to b20 exit. This is the exit with a lift so it would be easy to go up with your luggages. When in the ground floor, walk towards family mart, agora and family mart are just beside each other. If you dont have any luggages with you, b24 is the exit in front of agora. Easy 10-15 min walk along namba walk. It is close to everything, train stations, dotonbori, shinsaibashi, restaurants etc. Breakfast: they have no bfast service during that time but you have good bfast places near the hotel (ie Marufuku or family mart hehe) Cleanliness and toilteries: it is clean, toiletries are provided at ground floor. Room: this hotel is spacious as compared to other similar hotels ive been to in osaka and tokyo. Bed and pillows are comfortable. We are on the 10th floor, we didnt hear any noises along the street.

I love how friendly the staffs were and I felt so welcomed by them and had such a pleasant stay in Agora Place Osaka Namba. Hotel rooms were cleaned well and the hotel room is slightly bigger as compared to other hotels. This is definitely a plus point! The hotel is easy to find and the best thing is that there is a family mart just beside the hotel. The location is great, near the popular places such as the Dotonbori and near the Kuromon market. At Kuroman market, there are a few halal & Muslim-friendly restaurants and foods that we can eat and love the yummy food at the Kuromon market. The hotel is near to their train station and it is so convenient. I just love how accessible the location is! I will definitely come back to Japan, Osaka again and choose this hotel for my stay.
