Bande Hotel Osaka

What you see is what you get.This hotel is super clean,bed was super comfy!They also replace the towels and robes everyday.Even you put the sign dont disturb,they will just leave the towel set,plastic for trash in your doorknob. Also, what I like the most is,it's super duper close to the train station,the nearest is 1 min away from the entrance and you can even it see while you are exiting at the hotel.This station is called Kishinosato-Tamade under Nankai Line,there's also another station which is a 5 minute walk from the hotel called Tamade Station.7eleven is just next to this hotel as well and 2 minute walk from Tamade grocery store which we normally buy our lunch or dinner and snacks.Good thing also here is that they have laundry area where you can just set it up and leave your clothes with password so nobody can open it even you decided to pick it up after your day trip schedule.Exchange currency machine is just in the reception area which I think not bad for the rate.Pantry is also nice and clean where you can have a coffee (free) or have your meals there.Wifi was super good too!

Washer and dryer is available so it is alright if you need to wash clothes during your trip. Breakfast meal is not available, but they offer free coffee and some bread in limited quantity. There is a common area for eating so you can buy food outside and eat it there. There are also a lot of food choices at walking distance from the hotel. The bed is nice and comfortable and we can see the sunset from our window. The room is a bit bare in terms of decor but it is bigger than other hotels of similar price. The staff are helpful and tried their best to accommodate your request. It is not as near to sightseeing spots, but it is easily accessible. The train station is within walking distance and Nishi-Umeda station is just one ride. Airport is also easily accessible as well.

I liked the fact that they allowed people to use the breakfast space for work etc. during the day. It really helped me out when I was just stuck indoors during the typhoon. The price was really affordable too. The hotel is provided all business hotel level services I expected. I guess the neighborhood is rather residential, so you might not see many people walking around later in the evening (something to consider mostly for female solo travelers).

Very friendly staff, very welcoming and helpful - let us leave our bags in reception early, and you can help yourself to tea, coffee and water from their canteen type room - we also ate dinner there a few times. Room was nice and spacious with a fridge and good air conditioning. Good lot of amenities, and fresh towels daily. The hotel was in a great location - near to a subway and train station, with a lovely dessert opposite, and convenience store less that 5min walk away.

We had to emergency book this after a slight miscalculation a few days before the booking, so while getting to the hotel was a bit unfortunate, we nevertheless had an excellent experience during our stay! The hotel is quite far from the center of Osaka, but it was very well staffed and very well kept! For it's price, it was an excellent place to stay, and also not too far from Mt. Kongo, which we took a lovely visit to as well! Highly recommend!
