Prince Smart Inn Osaka Yodoyabashi

We stayed here for 5 night during our trip in Osaka and Kyoto. The rooms were pretty clean, although, not very spacious, but this is to be expected for most hotel in Japan so it didn't bother us that much. Unlike the bedroom, bathroom was relative big with a tub which we did enjoy. The hotel provide a free complimentary breakfast of rice ball, but we didn't take it for the whole duration of stay since we preferred to buy some breakfast from a large supermarket nearby instead. The location of hotel is quite good, locate in a relative clean neighborhood and very close to the subway with access right next to the aforementioned supermarket. Though if you have big luggage with you, it is better to get out of the subway at exit 9 with elevator.

Great location, right next to the metro station Yodoyabashi, which has lines to Osaka/shin Osaka and Namba station. There's also Family Mart, a bigger supermarket and a post office nearby. Not that many restaurant close by, but enough at walking distance. The breakfast was alright. Not much to choose from, just miso soup and rice balls (2 flavours). Only allowed to take 2 onigiri per person. I hoped for different flavours throughout the week, but always the same. If this breakfast isnt for you, there's a cafe around the corner and a supermarket next door and the rooms have fridges. Check in and out is basically self-service. Personal did speak English, but was limited to the regular hotel stuff. Hotel was also very quiet at night and barely any street noise.

The hotel is located adjacent to the Midosuji line - very convenient for travel. There is a grocery store located downstairs and a Family Mart across the street. The beds are exceptionally comfortable - the most comfortable of our stay in Japan. The Smart Lounge downstairs is a great place to sit and eat meals bought from the store (a microwave in the Smart Lounge would be an excellent addition, but there is access to a microwave on level 1 near the elevator). Cleaning staff were helpful and kind - we were able to request removal of rubbish and clean towels as needed. Cleaning staff also replaced the complimentary water bottles, which we appreciated. The facilities are (generally) clean and well maintained, staff are helpful, and the room was very comfortable.

Great location, right next to the train station, beautiful hotel.

The location was amazing, 10/10 for those looking to explore all of Osaka as it is relatively central to everything without being in the middle of all the noise & overcrowding of busy places. If you take the Osaka metro lines, you'll find this place amazing to stay at. The staff was super kind and helpful and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Even during moments when it was very busy and they had lots of new guests coming in the staff worked hard to address everyone's needs. Breakfast was also very convenient and delicious, whether you got the free one or splurge for the buffet, you won't be disappointed.
