Hotel Diamond

I’ve been Osaka for several times and i stay here every time because of valuable and easy to access subway.

The location is close to the metro and JR stations. And the police station. Everything. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND! If it wasn’t too late in the evening to find a new place to stay, we would have. Biggest issue, it was VERY dirty and we left feeling itchy and with BUG BITES all over our bodies. The area is in a dirtier part of town (lots of police presence) Upon arrival, In the lobby there were several men who were sitting and staring in a way that was uncomfortable. The location’s dog was barking aggressively and had actively open wounds. The hallway to the room was unlit and looks unsafe. The room we stayed in had no soap, no towels, the covers on the futon were covered in white stains, and the mattresses had dark stains on them. The walls were dirty from either mold, dirt or both. It was noisy in the hallway due to people coming in the early hours of the morning. And then the owners dog barking starting around 6 am and other tenants loudly vomiting around the same time. This should be shut down if not barely be listed as an hourly rated place, not an official Booking.com recommendation.

Ok Nice

The public men’s shower, not that it was bad but I just wasn’t used to it

A cheap hotel to stay in Osaka. Its ok if you look a cheap place

Yes very much ☺️ Near at the station

The price is unbeatable, the location not so fancy but very convenient for traveling (4-5 train lines, if you combine both Shin-Imamiya and Osaka metro) and the staffs were kind and helpful (They even let you get your room in the morning time, not like anywhere else in Japan) No Wi-Fi in room, they have bath tub in Male bathroom but didn’t fill the water (Like they used to do)

The beds not comfy

The building is dirty

Nothing at All Everything is dirty smells bad … Pay little and find urself decent place meant for human beings in my opinion

There are kitchen facilities and also a laundry machine, both of which can be used for free. The staff were friendly and eager to help even despite the language barrier. I stayed in the old building in the cheapest room, it is comfortable enough considering the price. I would definitely reccomend it for solo travellers on a tight budget.

Since the hotel is near the road, expect there is noises from vehicles and motorcycles.

The price is the cheapest you can find ! Common areas (smoking / dog smell)

Those bed mats were so comfortable. Honestly the best beds we used in Japan. I did not like how we booked three rooms, and they put us in one room. Some of the bedding was dirty. And there’s only one shower for men. Weird.

Good

THE ROOM WAS INFESTED WITH BEDBUGS. When we gave back the key to leave because we obviously could not spend the night there, we translated the problem the lady at the reception, she immediately understood. She probably knew what she was doing when she gave us this room….

Close to station. Cheap. Early check in at 9am. Helpful staff Building is shabby. Room is relatively clean but the rest of the building is not. Building looks run down. It smells in some areas.

The room was okay, but it is very, very basic. Guest are allowed to only smoke at the lobby. So when we arrived, the smell overwhelmed us. Unfortunately, people smoke in the hallway or at the emergency exit doors, so you smell the smoke. Gentle man bathroom only onsen (which was empty), so you need to shower with all others, not privacy. Women showers are in the kitchen area, and that didn't make me feel comfortable.

Good

The staff was perfect. They tried really hard to help with any question and were really friendly. If you want a cheap accommodation, with a good location, this might be for you. Just don't expect any komfort. My problem were the bathrooms, which were connected with the official lounge. The next problem was the temperature. I got sick the first night because it was freezing cold. The sheets were full of foreign hair and the floor was dirty.
