Best Western Hotel Fino Osaka Shinsaibashi

Not the easiest hotel to find as Shinsaibashi subway station is huge. Best exit is 5B for reference. Once we had located the hotel it fell in to the category of standard Japanese compact hotel. Very clean and rooms very efficient with all necessities, however very small. Breakfast was ¥1100 per person and was decent value. Clean, good location with standard small room. less

Stayed here for 4 nights. Location is very good, train station is just a few steps away. Actually, you will not really need it since the 3 main streets (Shinsaibashi, Dotonburi and America Mura) are just walkable from the hotel. There are also some small bars walkable from the hotel, a convenience store in front and Mos Burger. I will never argue with the Hotels location, as in! 👌 Room itself However -- 1. Staffs must speak/understand English. There were 2 incidents that I was able to speak with this Female Front Desk Personnel. 1st instance, I asked her if the Forex Machine at the Lobby accepts Peso and she cannot understand, so I just cancelled my question. 2nd instance, I asked where can I get a TAXI, she said, what is a taxi. I tried to spell it out but she still dont understand. So I tried, CAB, she said what is that. So I said, CAR, and she said Sorry i dont really understand it. So I decided to just go out of the hotel, and observe the surrounding on where I can get a taxi 🙄 2. Breakfast is repeating and is not so appetizing 😐 Same menu everyday, the only food changing per day is the bacon (changed with a salami like meat). Btw, bacon is dipped in water. Kinda weird. Very few selection of food in the buffet. Also they are very strict with the time, they closes at 10am. So if you arrive 950, you need to eat in 10mins. 3. I want to commend their luggage transport services (pickup at airport). But, I hope there is a different rate for backpacks and luggage bags. less

This hotel was booked through Exoticca as part of our trip. We arrived at Osaka station and took the subway to the hotel which was fine. We got off at the Shinsaibashi station and it was a few minutes walk from here. Our room was ready when we arrived at 1pm. The hotel had all the amenities you expect with great air conditioning. The staff were helpful and friendly. There are irons etc to borrow on each floor. Check is 10am but you can extend it up to 2pm by paying 1000 Yen per hour. During the day the immediate area looks quiet but at night there are lots of nice places to eat and a few bars. 711 over the road with lots of food options for a night in. Saw Dominos delivering to the hotel too. If you come out of the hotel, turn left then take immediate left and keep walking you end up at the river. 10 mins. All along here are bars and restaurants. Cross a bridge and you’re in the mad area of Dotombori with its street food and neon lights. There is a big wheel here too. Definitely worth a visit. Just up the road from the hotel ( turn left as you come out, keep going) is a huge shopping centre that continues over the busy road. We really liked this hotel and its location and would recommend it. less

This hotel is on a back street- one block south and two blocks east of a major intersection. Rooms clean with two oversized king beds. The hotel was a quiet haven, about 400 metres from a hectic shopping area. My only gripe was staff not overly friendly less

I’ve spent only one night in this hotel and I was more then satisfied. Next to a metro stop, my room was ready before check in time, I got a free upgrade to a bigger room, they booked for me a taxi and told me the price in advance. Needed nothing more for my one night less
