The hotel is in a great area, just far enough away from the crowds but not too far to walk. The room was very small, even when compared to other rooms we had on our trip with similar ratings. It was clean and safe and the staff were friendly.

Great location in Dotonburi, a short walk from the local metro station and also to the Dotonburi canal. The room did have basic amenities such as shower gel and shampoo. A kettle was provided but no tea or coffee. What was a shame. Upon check-in the room had a strong musty smell which upon further inspection, it appeared some damp was forming in the top corner of the room. Not ideal. The smell did eventually disappear but on my final morning checking out, the clothes I had hung up to wear, were damp upon putting them on. Rooms are also poorly insulated in terms of noise. You can hear everything going on in the hotel corridors and also in the rooms above.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Decently sized room. The room kind of had a dirty water smell. Would go away when we used the showers, however it would return when we would be out for the day and return in the evening. Station is nearby so accessing the rest of Osaka is easy. Dotonbori is a short walkable distance away. A family mart is down the street.

Sarasa Dotonbori ended up being a great choice for our family to stay in Osaka. The rooms are large (for Japan) and well-presented. Rooms are not cleaned daily (staff inform you as you arrive) but fresh towels etc are available from the front desk upon request. Location was good, close to the action in Dotonbori and Kurumon Market. Nippombashi station is a short walk away too. Some good local Japanese restaurants nearby (try the Okonomiyaki place on the corner!) and lots of Chinese restaurants that seem to cater to tourists and tour groups. The local convenience stores are always great too! Recommended!

Review for Sarasa Hotel Dotonburi

Our stay at the Sarasa Hotel Dotonburi had some positives but also notable drawbacks. Positives: • The rooms are spacious. • Check-in went smoothly. Negatives: • The rooms were dirty, which was particularly unpleasant due to my sensitive skin. • We found toothpicks, peanut pieces, seaweed, and other rubbish under the bed when we tried to move the beds together for our two kids. • Despite only staying for two nights, the lack of cleanliness left a poor impression. Location: • The hotel is a 15-minute walk from the station. Overall, while the room size and check-in process were good, the cleanliness issues were significant enough that I would not return to this hotel.

Staff is very friendly and attentive. The buffet is great for the price and it’s really useful if u want to go out with a full belly. The only bad thing is it’s just from 8-9:30am so if you’re not a morning person maybe waking up early will be an inconvenience. The room was clean except I did noticed accumulated dust beneath the bed, that’s the main thing I would improve.
