Paid Y14000 per night for a 3 bedroom apartment with an extra futon in the dining/kitchen for a 4th person. The local fire brigade practised ladder drills at 5:00am in the street below and there were the usual city sirens and garbo crushing noises but sleep was no problem after full days of touristing.

We stayed in a 3 bedroom standard room with 3 adults and 2 young children, It was very comfortable and clean. The rooms are spacious by japanese standards, I would really recommend this place to anyone with young children as there is a park with playground about 3 mins walk away. It is about 10 mins walk to the station.... more

It's more like a small apartment. No daily maid service which is OK, since there is no need to change linens and clean everyday anyway. Just the basic amenities plus the room is clean and spacious. Conveniently located, 2 blocks from subway station (Tanimachi-yon(4) chome, exit #4, from the Tanimachi or Chuo line), several restaurants nearby and 3 blocks south... more

Through the recommendation of my colleague, we booked a 3-night stay at the weekly mansion at 17600 yen and didn't regret it. The room though old is spacious by Japanese standard, with 1 double bed and a single bed good for the 3 of us. Its a studio room with kitchenette complete with cooking pans and utensils. There is a... more

Although booking online was quite problematic - we used 2 different engines to book 5 nights and upon arrival there were no problems. Staff were exceptionally helpful - it is centrally located - right near a train station. Every question we asked - they were able to help or find out the answer for us. My husband & my parents... more

We chose to stay at the Weekly Mansion because it was slightly cheaper than staying in a hotel, but didn't expect it to be like a backpackers hostel. The furnishings were old and tired and the bathroom looked like it belonged in a cabin, not a hotel/motel with a toilet that flushed really loudly. About the only good thing about... more

This hotel might be suitable for a student travelling on a very limited budget. It is not suited for anyone used to staying in chain hotels in North America or Europe. It seemed like a run-down college dorm. There was a small kitchenette area but I didn't even want to make tea in it. The bathroom was very small. The... more

We've paid less than £40 per night for a decent size twin room. It had home-to-home comfort and flexability, convinient location (lots of shops and restaurants nearby) and helpful staff. Although the room is a bit worn out, especially the tiny bath and the noisy toilet., it is a very good value for money. They have bigger rooms for four... more

Spotlessly clean rooms. Reasonably spacious, at least by Japan standards. Kitchen facilities in room. Heating works well. Quiet location off the main streets. Subway, and a few convenience stores and restaurants within walking distance. Osaka Castle a slightly longer walk. Only problem was the front desk shuts up at 8pm -- had to bang on the door for my late... more
