Smile Hotel Shin-Osaka
Very affordable and well kept property in a fantastic location. Easy access to Shin-Osaka train station. Express train is only 3 stops from airport to Shin-Osaka station. For the price this hotel didn't disappoint.

Very good for the price
Really good for the price. Good location close to both the shinkansen and easy metro downtown Osaka. Eco friendly. Abundant breakfast both Japanese and western. Only tiny minus is a sometime unstable internet in the evening. It's fast enough, but sometimes lose connection for a few seconds when many go online.

The staff was nice and did their best to work with English speakers. For a budget hotel, it was was excellent and on the same level as fancier hotels that cost twice as much elsewhere. It was a very cozy and enjoyable neighborhood to stay in

The room is much larger than I imagined, and the front desk staff is very friendly. Even though we communicated in broken Japanese, they responded patiently and kindly in Japanese. Every time I went out and came back, the staff would greet me warmly. I will definitely stay here again if I get the chance.

Very nice, respectful, and easy to communicate despite there being a language barrier. Very clean and 10 minute walk from shin-osaka. Super close to metro line as well making dotonbori and other places easy to get to. Would definitely stay there again.
