Ikaruga Historic Hotel

"깨끗 친절 위치 만족"

"Smack bang in the hart of Namba/Dotonbori. A real sensory overload. with loud pachinkos, stores, eateries. An amazing Osaka experience. Hotel is a short walk (about 150m?) from the Namba station, so getting around is a breeze. Room while a bit dated and could do with a renovation, was comfortable, clean and serviced daily. Breakfast gets very busy, and if you arrive at 8 to 9am, expect to wait about 5 to 10 minutes for a table. They have a ticket system and you can wait in the complimentary lounge area for a bit. Breakfast options were good, obviously not much halal but you get by with non meat options such as eggs, salads, cereals, fruits and some breads. The free laundry room was a huge help (tip: dont go between 9 and 11pm, busy period) has a neat washer, drier and clothing compressor. For muslim tourists, the area is good and walkable with several halal restauraints all within a 5 to 10m walk away. Osaka is the foodie capital of japan. And you'll find it a challenge to try out all the halal restaurants. Because you're in the heart of Namba, everything is walkable, the various shopping streets and arcades, dotonbory canals etc. Omeda is a short metro ride away and good to spend a day exploring and doing the viewing deck. This hotel also does the luggage transfers seamlessly. The complimentary lounge was a nice suprise. Free tea/coffee/soft drinks (and alcohol if you prefer) along with a little pancake station and various toppings. "

"The room was beautiful and we loved the location! "

"Very close to USJ & the citywalk area. Clean rooms, staffs were friendly and helpful during check-in/out. Amenities were good - beside the usual bathroom amenities, water dispenser, microwave on every floor, coin laundry, currency exchange machine. The daily free simple cafe beverages were good too."

"Great room and staff! A pleasure to stay there. "
