Wonderful experience! The staff was capable and helpful. The food was delicious. And you can’t beat how close the hotel is to Donguri Street and the Glico Man. One small thing is that the door directly to the women’s bath was somewhat broken and hard to open and close. Other than that it’s a great place for a traditional Japanese experience!

Great service at a good price in an amazing location. Countless dining options nearby and clean facilities around the entire hotel. Only complaint would be the high noise levels at some hours of the night, but that’s because of the location and not something the hotel can control.

Central Osaka Convenience

The Yamatoya Honten is ideally located in central Osaka to make it easy to walk to nearby Dotonbori for food or Denden town to do some shopping. The hotel itself is in a more traditional Japanese style and a great experience for it. (Though you don't lack any modern amenities - there is air conditioning for example!) The hotel staff were very helpful and spoke quite a bit of English, which was helpful since my Japanese is still quite basic. The Yamatoya accepts luggage deliveries and my suitcase was waiting for me in my room when I arrived, which was a really nice touch. The front desk staff also helped me book my bag through to my next hotel. The room had enough space for me and sleeping on the traditional futon bed was quite comfortable.

How lovely everyone was. How good the food was. We booked a meal and although normally you don't eat in a separate room they do so for us anyway. There was plenty of space for luggage. Comfortable futon floor beds. Room service everyday.

The water leaked from the ceiling while we booked the traditional Japanese Roman experience. We could not sleep all night, kept moving the bed around the room to avoid water drops and the staff was not empathetic about it at all on reporting the incident.
