Bande Hotel Osaka

The location of this boutique hotel is very near the Nankai Line train Kishinosata-Tamade Station, that connects to the Kansai International Hotel in less than an hour at 920yen. Another metro station is further away, ~500m and has better connectivity. This area is not as congested and very peaceful. We looked forward to the journey back to the hotel each time. We stayed at this hotel for 9 days (the price point was unbeatable!) as a base to visit Kyoto, Nara, Kobe and Himeiji. Our room size, 16msq was OK for Japan and we had 1 medium and 2 small suitcases. We had daily house keeping which was nice. The street is a covered street (I. E it won't gets wet if it rains) and lined with shops that sells sushi. It has a supermarket, a bakery and 2 other restaurants. On the way to the metro, you can find more restaurants (the yakiniku restaurant was awesome), McD and 7-11. Next to the hotel is a gated carpark... If not mistaken, 600yen per day. If we are to come back to Osaka, we will definately choose Bande Hotel OSAKA all over again!

It took some time to find this area thanks to google map guided me the right direction. Coming from Tamade Station the walk took around 3-9min and very convenient spot for food restaurants, 7 eleven and so on which nice to grab some late snack or hot meal nearby. The staff are great some of them speak english fluently. And they are very helpful if you needed something. They are 24/7 front desk. We stayed for 6 nights it was the best place would definitely come back again :) Ps there is laundry that cost 500 yen for 2 hours wash and dry additional 100 yen for dry if its still wet no need to bring detergent. There are also near train station (2-5min walk) and that goes to Kansai airport (not directly) you have to hop off from Sakai station. Though the staff tried to help us how to get there but their guide seems confusing and bit outdated location. Just look up in Google Map to not get confused by.

- Location is very close to two train stations. Tamade station on Osaka Metro is 6 minutes away, and Kishinosato Tamade station on Nankai line with easy connection to Kansai Airport just a minute away. Making commute to the centre of Osaka very easy. - The room is much bigger than many other business hotels in central Osaka. If you don’t mind a little commuting, you can save money and get a bigger room by staying in this hotel. - Restaurants and convenience stores are within a walking distance from the hotel (6-7 minutes away). - The area is very quiet at night. Ensuring a nice sleep even if you are noise sensitive person.

The staff were amazing—super friendly and always ready to help with anything I needed. I always put on the do not disturb sign, but housekeeping always leaves a bag of fresh towels by the door everyday which i think was great - in other hotels i stayed at you had to ask for it. The hotel’s location was spot on, really close to a train station and surrounded by great local food spots. The room was clean, and the bed was comfy enough to crash after a long day exploring. Great value for money.

The rooms were simple and clean. The bed is firm and they give you one pillow that is thinner than most pillows in US hotels. I ended up really loving it and never woke up sore from sleeping. They have a room with tables and complimentary water, tea and coffee. I loved grabbing a cup of warm tea before bed. Fast elevators. The location was awesome. Just a 5-7 minute walk to 2 different stations. Also there were many restaurants and vendors literally right outside the hotel door. It felt like a less touristy spot than other hotels. We loved it. Very helpful and friendly staff too!
