The staff was very helpful and answered all questions. The included breakfast buffet was incredible. The size of the room was larger than I expected from a hotel in Japan. The area is very touristy but very convenient near a major train station, shopping, restaurants and bars. It was very easy to get to Kansai Airport from this hotel.

Perfect location - central to Namba and Dotonbori, but on a quieter side street to the main action. Service is excellent, rooms modern and clean, and a great breakfast too. Highly recommend when visiting Osaka for a few days.

The vessel inn is 5 minutes from Dōtonbori - but that means the area is super crowded, dirty and crazy busy. Honestly, thats down to the tourist (I have found the rest of Japan to be incredibly clean and the locals most welcoming and polite). Fortunately, the hotel was quiet, the rooms clean, and the staff spoke good English and were incredibly helpful. The rooms are small (like most Japanese rooms) but the beds were way too firm for us (much like sleeping on plywood). Sadly, the beds are a dealbreaker for me, so I wouldn’t book again.

Great location, away from the hustle of Dotonbori area, but still on the same street and across the street. Greta ramen place next door and pharmacy as well if needed. Staff were friendly and helpful, free drinks (juice/ tea) available even though we didn’t pay for breakfast option. Rooms are small compared to western hotels, but location made up for it.

This hotel is in an A location with minute walk to Dotonbori, shopping streets, so many restaurants and sights. And very close to subway and airport limo bus stop. The rooms are small but a comfort double has enough room for luggage. Hotel is very clean. The staff is very polite and helpful.
