Located just off the main road it is easy to get to by both the subway and JR lines of Osaka. It is also right next to a line of restaurants and shops that serve cheap and tasty food, although warning they shut about 9pm each night. The hotel staff speak adequate English and the place is clean and tidy.... More

Conveniently located near a couple subways, and the Shin-Imamiya JR loop station. The neighborhood is not great, but not unsafe at all. The hotel does have a gate they lock every night. My room smelt not so great, but there was a window that I left open so the smell dissipated. Bathrooms on every floor, not extremely clean, but not... More

We stayed there for two nights. The staff is very very helpful, friendly, and ready to provide with everything which is in their scope of capability. The price is excellent.

To shower, we had to go from our room on the 6th floor to the bottom floor. Our room (608) was directly in front... More

I stayed for 3 nights in mid April 2012 and paid less than 2000 yen per night! That includes a single bed complete with TV, VHS, free wi-fi, air-conditioning and a yukata (bathing robe)! The single room was kind of small, but considering a capsule would cost twice as much and I would be compacted into a space no bigger... More

I only stayed one night, and enjoyed my experienced. The staff spoke good english, were very friendly and helpful. The reception area was very inviting. There were often individuals or families eating at the large table after cooking in the small kitchen area. There were computers with internet to use. There were always baskets of free snacks. Location is excellent,... More

Stayed in Hotel Mikado for 7 nights in November 2011 and was really impressed given the very low price (about $30 NZD per night for a single room). The hotel is about 5 minutes walk from Shin-imamiya station (on the Osaka Loop Line), which makes it really convenient. Some people have commented that the area is a bit dodgy, and... More
