It was comfortable and all amenities were provided. The staff couldn't have been more helpful! I saw reviews stating the room wasn't that big, but the room I stayed in (Room M) was a standard sized single room and had a good amount of space for my duffle bag and two backpacks.

In no way the fault of the guesthouse, but it was incredibly noisy at night. I'm a bit of a deep sleeper, so I was in and out despite the noise, but a lot of really loud revving of vehicles in the early hours of the morning, especially on weekends.

123 Guesthouse is located in a strategic place which is very near to Nippombashi train station, not far from Kuromon Market, Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori. The owner was extremely friendly and allowed us to park our bags in his lobby after checking out. Room is comfortable and neat. Toilets and kitchen are shared but very tidy and clean. Would definitely stay here again if I visit Osaka in the future! Will recommend 123 Guesthouse to relatives and friends who would like to plan a holiday in Osaka.

Dotonbori Osaka can be a busy and overwhelming experience with tons of tourists. But it is also a wonderful area to explore. This property is right in the heart of Dotonbori and is easy to use as a home base for your explorations. Thusly it was perfect for us.

We had no complaints about this property. The bathrooms and showers are in the public area, so if that is going to be an issue for you. Know that. There is a public kitchen which was great for little things.

The location is splendid to explore Namba Walk, Kurumom Market and other areas near the place. I had a great time enjoying the Chicago Gallery during the stay. The room with no view may be small but rather cozy in a way. Really appreciate Mr Koji's help to get the comics. He may seem to be quiet but he is really hardworking and helpful to a great extent.

I believe there will be constant improvements to make 123 Guesthouse a more comfortable place for longer stay with washing machine available for guests or female only shower rooms or level for women. The noise from the surroundings may not be suitable for light sleepers. Technically I could hear "waterfall" from my room but it did not bother me much though.

I love that location is accessible via exit 5 of Nippombashi station. Staff is accommodating, allowing us to store our luggage during after checkout. They also coordinated our arrival time since our flight got delayed.

For the price, I prefer to stay here than take a dorm type accommodation since we have a private room that is big enough for a standard japanese room. Plus, being near the Metro station is a plus.

The location is great! It’s only 10 minutes by foot to Dotonburi and there’s a subway station right next to the Hostel (not included in JR). If you want to wash your clothes, there’s a laundry mart just about 7-10mins away from the hostel. Furthermore, despite it being a hostel all the facilities were very clean and you can use a few utensils as well (no actual kitchen).

The only thing you have to be aware of is that the size of the rooms is really small. I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s something bad, but just something that you might need to know in advance since the rooms look a lot bigger in the pictures online(at least to me). So if you travel with big luggage like we did you just need to manage who gets to open their suitcases first and that’ll do the trick.

The location was very convenient - right beside nippombashi subway station, walking distance to namba subway station and JR Namba. Walking distance to Dotonbori. The place has all the things you need. There was a nearby coin laundry that has reasonable price.

They will only give you one towel, if you need replacement you have to pay for 100yen per towel. The towel was pretty thin so it can dry easily.

The location is very convenient as it is close to the train station. Some places we wanted to go were within walking distance, such as Kuromon, Dotonbori, Nipponbashi, etc.

Great Location and value for money. Its a budget property right in the a entertainment district loads of bars, shops and cafes but very quiet for sleeping. Its very well organised and I never had any problems accessing the shared toilets and bathrooms which where always clean. Its a 2minutes walk from a subway stop and 10 minutes walk from the canal and main entertainment area

Location is great! There are 2 lines of train within walking distance. The facilities are nice and clean, the staff are helpful and friendly. There are free snacks on the 3rd floor too.

None. Our stay was great!
