Richmond Hotel Namba Daikokucho

Simple, clean room, perfect for solo travel (or two people)if you're planning on staying out most of the time. Unlike some hotels where I have stayed, you can control the temperature for your room.

The staff were lovely and have a wide range of free toiletries to take including face masks and bath bombs etc. They also provide you with slippers and a nightgown. They have options for massage. It was 15-20 minutes walking distance to the main shopping area in Osaka.

Good location. Just one subway stop away from the center of the Namba district (also possible to walk there). Room was nice, quite and very clean. Maybe a little bit narrow if you're traveling as a couple with two big suitcases. There was also a charger with different USB adapters in the room. You could choose between two kinds of pillows (soft and hard). Breakfast was unexpectedly delicious, I really miss Takoyaki for breakfast. (Beware, it is more Japanese style than Western).

good location - close to subway. Next to good fish market, lots of restaurants and temples. Friendly staff. Laundry available. Good breakfast buffet if you want to stay in with children.

We are thankful there is a metro within walking distance from the hotel and Family Mart just right outside the hotel for our daily water, milk and snacks. There's free coffee at the lobby every morning :)
