Primavera Namba Minami

Having a washing machine right in the room made the stay much easier, and the room itself was roomy and well prepared. It was easy to get around Osaka from here, with several train lines nearby. A 24-hour Lawson and a Matsuya restaurant are just around the corner, too. Check-in takes a little preparation, but the instructions make it straightforward. I really enjoyed my stay and found the place comfortable and convenient.

We couldn't sleep that night after someone tried to get into our room using a code they knew. The inside lock kept them out, but it took a full day for the code to be changed. There was no reception, and the location was awful.

The station is close by, and there’s a supermarket nearby too. I really liked the room: it was large, new, and very clean, with the kitchen, shower room, and bathroom all separate. I enjoyed staying there.

It felt nice to stay somewhere that gave me a sense of living in Japan. The room works well for two or three people, with a big table for four, a bathtub, and a washing machine. The instructions were helpful. Haginochaya Station is just a 2-3 minute walk away, which is excellent, though Nishinari Ward's reputation for being unsafe is a shame. Towels are replenished only every three nights, and you have to ask separately, but they'll probably provide them if you request some. Since it's a guesthouse, you need to take out the trash yourself when the bin is full. I’d especially recommend it for a group of guys. And it's kind of fun to spot the occasional homeless person!
