"I would definitely return! Actually, I will be returning to Namba two more times before the year ends, and I booked it all at Namba Oriental Hotel. I've stayed at other hotels in the Namba area and just tolerated it knowing that most hotel rooms in Japan are very tiny. The room at Namba Oriental Hotel was decent and very clean. The bathroom is a bit small, and you have to step into the deep tub to shower.
My room had the Lounge access and the laundry room. I normally don't take advantage of the lounge, but this was my first time spending summer in Japan, and it was hot and muggy. My husband and I took a break from shopping and sightseeing and enjoyed the air condition in the lounge, The lounge offered beer, wine, sake and a few hard liquors. They also had juice and soft drinks and charcuterie snacks and pancakes. Definitely worth having lounge access.
I don't do laundry while I'm on vacation, however what I really thought was a great benefit is that in the laundry room, they have a vacuum sealer. I vacuumed my used clothes, and a few stuffed animals that I won on the claw machine, it really saved me so much space in my luggage! They had the plastic bags for you to use, and it was free to use!
The location is so convenient! Right near everything! Across the street is Dotonbori, down below the hotel is Namba walk, and Shinsaibashi and Ebisu-bashi and the BIC store all within 5-minute walk. Definitely returning!"
