first time at Osaka. We stayed for 6 nights. Hotels were bit pricy so we decided to rent condo.
Room had kitchen, laundy and 3 twin size. we did laundry twice, and cooked several times. Checkin was very easy
Dotenbori is only about 1.2 miles away, and Shinsekai is even closer. Easy access to those popular areas.
Our friends (family of 3) stayed at hotels by Dotenbori but they had super small room.
Forget hotels
