Hotel staff were very pleasant and helpful. The hotel is located centrally, which made it a great pick to get around the city. The rooms were clean, but in need of some maintenance to get them back into good condition. We stayed in a traditional Japanese room. Our room had scratches and some staining on the walls, grout in the bathroom was discoloured and the furniture could use some updating (scratches on the table, the sitting chair were a bit discoloured). All that said, it was a great central spot to see the city!

Eh.
We changed from our inital room because it was extremely dark and weirdly laid out. Second room was more comfortable, comparatively. Staff were courteous and helpful. Hotel is in just okay shape. Bathrooms are uncomfortable and outdated. Showerheads are misplaced and difficult to use (too close to the wall). Chairs and tables in rooms are worn out. Hotel doesn't provide water to room unless you agree to not have the room cleaned every day. Our bathroom sink only had scaldingly hot water. The seventh floor is noisy because there is a kitchen / service area entrance without a door on that floor.

Japanese style rooms were good. Unfortunately our stay started a little disappointing because we were made to pay for an extra futon bed at $70ish AUD extra DESPITE the booking confirming two single beds and two futon beds - We were only given two single beds. The attitude of the staff was to just share the two single beds between four of us (2x adults, 2x children) - They also only supplied two towels despite there being four of us. Apart from this downfall, our stay was otherwise ok.

Dear Guest, Thank you for staying at hotel ichiei. We are sorry that you are not satisfied with the extra charge. The child below 7 years old is free to stay if the child shares bed with the adult. If the child also need bed and amenities, we have to charge for extra cost. We are sorry that it seems the staff did not explain you in detail. We will think and be careful with this issue.

Amazing location and a great hotel
Although the hotel is rather dated, the location, rooms and service makes up for it. It's located just at the crossroads of Takashimaya, 0101 and Nankai rail. From Namba subway station, it's a little further away but still nearby. If u have a lot of luggage, I suggest not taking exit 6 of the subway exit as it's stairs. Go from the main road. Itami airport bus stop is just outside the hotel. Same day Luggage delivery service is also in same building. We had a huge tatami room. The housekeeping team kept the place clean and tidy. They even changed the fresh flowers in the room each day. The hotel key has to be left at the reception each time you leave which can be a pain since it's a different floor, but I guess it's just a small hassle. I've added photos of the side view of the hotel. There's a bubble tea shop downstairs at the side which has long queues every day. You can see 0101 on the left and takashimaya building on the right at the traffic light junction just outside the hotel. Overall, a great hotel to enjoy Japanese ryokan stay in the city.

Great service but room with few kinks
Pros : beautiful layout in rooms and corridors / excellent service from multi lingual staff / authentic Japanese ambience in the room Cons : The inconvenience of having to keep key at counter / no post check out luggage storage (but you get to store bags for free in the luggage centre in the same building / walls in the modern Japanese wall and ceiling in bathroom although beautiful are spiky, someone can get hurt if they press against the wall too hard Would I come here again? Maybe for the service and if there is another room type with no spiky walls (which is a shame because if this was remedies the modern Japanese room would be perfect!)

Not impressive... We won't come back.
The location of the hotel was great. Near JR and subway lines, it's easy to get around. But the hotel is old and it shows in the room. The room partition doors were stained and the flooring is fraying. Apparently, even though I put in my booking that it's 2A&2C, I'm only giving 2 (smaller than) single size mattresses. Not sure how they expected an adult and a child to share a single mattress. Plus, it was suppose to be a Japanese room with futon, the mattress was not futon. In the room, we found a line closet with additional mattresses, so we took one more out on our own for my husband to sleep and was charged an additional Y3000 per night. The toilet was small with insufficient lighting which made me feel like it is not so clean. Overall, of all the 5 hotels we stayed on this trip, this was the worst.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Ichiei. We were greeted by Natsuko at the front desk and registration was smooth. All the front desk staff were very helpful. We stayed in the Modern Japanese Tatami room which was quite spacious since the ‘bedroom’ was separate from the living room. Every amenity was included in the room so if you forgot toothbrush etc, no need to run out to buy one. The hotel location is perfect as it was steps away from Takashimaya and Namba City malls as well as Shinsaibashisuji Shopping Street. Dotonburi was just past Shinsaibashi. Hotel Ichiei is far enough from the hustle and bustle so it was nice and quiet for a very relaxing sleep - the half block away makes a big difference. Should you need to do laundry, there is a 24 hour laundromat about 5 minutes away. The machines dispense detergent and fabric softener, but if you want extra softness there is a vending machine for it. Namba Station entrance is literally just outside the door to the hotel. If you’re arriving for the first time using the train, look for exit number 6 and that will take you right to the hotel entrance.

Spacious. Convenient loaction.
Second stay at this hotel. Still loving it. This time stayed in a different room - a Western room. Very spacious and comfortable for 3 of us. But the extra person had a sofa bed. It wasn't that comfortable. So he laid the sheets and slept on the floor instead. Yet, there are still much room to walk around and lay the luggage flat. However, lighting is a bit dim. Would suggest the hotel to add another 2 or 3 more lights to brighten up the place.

It wasn’t comfortable for him… we wish we helped him something. Actually, we changed lights in western style room in a few months ago. We have light on ceiling which we can control brightness in some step like dark to bright with remote. If you have chance to stay here again and have some problem during your staying, let us know.

Central Location
Transiting or a short stay in Osaka makes this a perfect spot to stay. From Osaka KIX Airport get out at level 2 and cross the road to the railway station. There is a ticket booth to the left and catch the Nankai train to Namba station, option 1 is to catch the high speed express reserved ticket or the all stations unreserved seat. At the end of the line xit the station using the North exit and as soon as you leave the building turn left and after a short 20m walk you will get to a pedestrian crossing, looking diagonally across the road you will see the hotel. As soon as you enter the building take the lift to the 8th floor where reception is.

Thank you for staying our hotel. As you said, it is close to Dotonbori and Namba railway station. It takes about 5min on foot to both place. Also, 10min to Kuromon fresh market and 15min on foot to Shinsaibashi area. We can also keep luggage after guest check out for free if they pick up on that day. If guest would like to leave luggage overnight, there is Namba Hands Free center which is luggage storage service on the 4th floor in our building. It costs 500yen per bag. We are sorry that you feel room is a little tired. If you don't mind, let me know which room type you stay. Direction guide which you upload is very very clear! Photo is very useful too! Yes, Nanakai train is the best way to get to our hotel from Kansai airport. Namba is the nearest station. High speed express train ' Rapid ' is about 35min to Namba. If you take JR line, you need to walk to our hotel about 10min then direction is complicated a little. So we would like to recommend to take Nankai train. We hope you spent nice time in Osaka. We welcome back you in the future!

Amazing location
Once you arrive at Kansai Airport, take the Nankai Line and it'll take you straight to Namba Station. The hotel is just across the road from Namba Station. The amazing location allowed me one less thing to worry about! Booked the Japanese room and it was super spacious and clean! There are plenty of food options and amenities available even till dead in the night. Love it and would definitely stay here again if I return to Osaka! Thank you, Hotel Ichiei!

The morning breakfast café area is small and we have to Q for seats. If you have big luggage is no fun to pull all the way to the hotels for 8-10mins by walk. Upon return home sweet home to airport we have book the transport from other hotel , take taxi to that hotel to catch the coach to airport. Hotel double bed size is small. Smaller than Queen size bed .
