Hotel Mikado Reviews

Best hostel I've ever stayed.

Not really a place for backpackers. In a very poor area of the city, with not much in the area. Staff was very friendly, but the entire building smelled like smoke and all the showers are located on the first floor

Good location & the staffs are helpful. But the room is too small and the heater is too noisy. I had to turn it off during the sleeping time. But feel like cold...

The directions from Shin-imamiya station are incorrect. The rooms and shower rooms were quite ok.

This hostel was a brilliant choice for us. The dormitories are around half the price of any other in Osaka and the three nights we stayed in Mikado were absolutely excellent. Despite the location not being the greatest, the Nambu district is easily accessible by train/taxi. Furthermore, the hostel has an excellent FREE bike rental and we viewed the whole city from the saddle of these machines!! Staff were excellent, amenities were great. Fantastic stay!

Top 2 of our stay in Japan (totally 4 weeks). Great staff. Good kitchen and eating area, it was never crowded when we were there. The sauna and spa was also great to be in a hotel. Used i a lot. Free bicycle rental was great. We lived in a 4 people room and paid 1500 yen each (two people). Very good in general!

Loved this place. The staff is extremely welcoming and helpful, the facilities are awesome (there's a very nice sauna and free bike rental), the rooms are clean, and you can get fresh towels and sheets anytime free of charge. It's two minutes from the station and within walking distance from shopping mekka Namda. You get much more than you pay for.

Firstly, the price is great. You really get your money's worth at hotel Mikado. The facilities are good, they have a great shower room, and around 4 or 5 vending machines, plus free snacks in the lobby. There's free wifi and although the single rooms might seem small, they've got everything you need during your stay. But I really want to give props to the staff. They are really helpful, offer great company and the manager, Morikawa, is the coolest person! I had a great stay at Hotel Mikado.

Loved our stay there! Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. They even voluntarily offered to change my towel even though i haven't requested for it. The 4-bed rooms were cosy and the bed/pillow were extremely comfortable. We also enjoyed hanging out at the lounge area, where surprisingly there were many native Japanese. The location although slightly further away from the city centres like umeda and namba, the subway/JR line is right outside the hotel.

We had a great stay at Hotel Mikado: first of all it was great value for money, with bath access and many other small things that made our stay merrier (e.g. free bike rental, and good WiFi). The location is good - a good starting point for a walk to the city zoo, Hitachi tower area and Osaka down town. Helpful staff made our stay a breeze. The room was well equipped, although a bit crammed. We will definitely come again!

The staff are kind and accommodating.

This hotel is located in a down-market area of Osaka, but it’s right next to the subway and train station so accessibility is no issue. The hectic entertainment district of Namba is within walking distance (15-20 minutes) , and you will find a lot of interesting shops on the way there. This area has a lot of cheap hotels and Mikado is not the cheapest one, but it does have a more welcoming character than some of the competition. Overall great value, cheaper than most hostels/dorms in Osaka.

I spent in this hotel just one night and I did not use everything what it offers, but I enjoy my stay. Its location is perfect. In the center. In few minutes you can reach many many restaurants and shops. 2 min by walk to subway and 5 min to train station. Hotel is clean and calm. Excellent for students.

standard cheap hotel. great for those of us on a budget! we had some issues finding it at first, but it was obvious when we got there. staff are very friendly and helpful. :)

This was a fantastic hostel and I would recommend it to anyone. Only difficult part was finding it as the directions weren't clear, but once i found it, it was easy and fantastic!

Definitely worth the price. Everything was very nice and clean, except for the bathrooms which were pretty dirty. Overall, a great stay and I would definitely do it again.

The bedsheets for the upper bed did not fit, and I had to go to the reception desk twice to get new ones. On the second time, the receptionist went up to the bedroom to see why the bed sheets did not fit, and they realized my bed did not have the lower futon. The ones thy gave me were stained in green and yellow and not a pleasant sight. Otherwise, the hotel is good. The staff is friendly and helpful, the japanese bath is good.

very good hostel with very helpfull staff. the free bike rental is a huge plus, Osaka is very flat so easy to get around. Would probably go there again if I go back to Osaka

Terrific value, with clean and tidy rooms and super friendly staff. The free bike hire and Japanese style bath house with hot tub and sauna were brilliant. It's not the prettiest part of town in the prettiest city in Japan but hey! Its still fun to explore...

I just stay there one night. But the people there are very nice and I recommend it to everybody, who are searching for a cheap hostel. You got your own bed and there is also an onsen available.
