Super close to Shinsekai, great location. Train station within 1-2 min walking distance. 35min walk from dotonburi. Staff were super friendly, room was very clean and had everything I needed. Great stay 10/10 no kitchen facilities in room but didn’t matter as they’ve got a kitchen area near the lobby which is free to use. Free coffee available from 5am - 11pm which was a lifesaver!

Overall the hotel was nice, very good if you’re traveling alone (from my experience) common amenities are offered and the staff is very friendly. The area around the hotel is not the best, not very safe either, especially at night. But other than that I would stay here again.

It's my second stay here. Both times the service and quality are consistent. Staffs are attentive and polite and the ones that served me spoke reasonable English. Considering it's a budget Inn, the size is actually better than APA at the same price range. Area is instead in the more relatively sketchy area in Japan. But compared to certain cities in North America that I have been to which are a lot worse in comparison, I was not worried at all staying at Hotel Pivot.

The hotel is really close to the Dobutsuen-mae Osaka Metro subway station, the Shin-Imamiya JR train station, and the Shin-Imamiya-Ekimae Hankai tram station for transportation. I also like how it's close to the Shinsekai district on the other side of the train tracks. The overall vibe of the hotel was calm and laid back. The staff was very courteous. There's only one elevator, but it wasn't too busy when I used it. My room had enough space for my large luggage. I appreciated that. While I was there, the hot water cuts in and out while I used it in the shower. Other than that, my stay was enjoyable

It was close to a couple of train stations. They let me check in early which I was very grateful for. They did have some toiletries for free, but you had to pay for some eg, razor.... which had been free at other hotels. Reception was friendly. Room was ok, towels were slightly small & thin. Being close to train stations, definitely heard the trains going by.

No frills stay perfect for the solo traveller who wants their own bathroom and in a convenient location. It's steps away from a Osaka metro stop and a Nankai/JR stop and it's 30 min on foot from Namba. Yes it's a bit sketch at night but nothing a tourist cannot handle. My only issue was annoying guests who wouldn't stop dragging chairs on the floor but that's not the hotels issue. Another issue however is that you have to pay to have your own hot water kettle, and all their body soap etc are disposable packages, but you can ask to borrow larger shampoo and conditioner bottles at the front desk. They have a kitchen as well. I'll stay again for the convenience but if I wanted more amenities or services I'll go elsewhere, there's plenty of choices on the same street.

Hotel was sufficient for me to stay during my visit to japan. There’s a convenience store (FamilyMart) near the hotel if you want to buy some snacks for the go. But not that far from the hotel are some restaurants that offer sushi or ramen. You have two train stations, one is Dobutsuen-Mae for Osaka Metro and the other one is Shin-Imamiya for the JR-Lines. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Mi sono trovato molto bene in questo hotel il quale è situato in una posizione comoda per raggiungere le zone di interesse sia a piedi che con i mezzi. I difetti si riscontrano nel letto che non risulta dei più comodi, e nella doccia dove a volte l'acqua non fuoriesce per un pochino di tempo.
