Hotel Noum Osaka

A lovely little midrange boutique hotel. Enjoyed double room 305 with sitting area and view of the river. Kids had a room with bunk beds. Staff are lovely and super helpful. Enjoyed breakfast in the cafe on the ground floor. A short walk over the bridge to the metro station and the castle. Very relaxed atmosphere.

Truly the nicest accommodation experience we’ve had in the whole of Japan. We splurged a little and got a king river view room and it was fantastic! The staff were incredible, friendly, helpful and attentive. Breakfast is amazing and facilities are too. Highly recommend for anyone staying in Osaka.

The hotel staff was really helpful and kind. Rooms are clean and quite spacious. Having breakfast at the hotel was a wonderful experience. It was cold, so there was a heater with a kettle on it. The ambiance felt like something straight out of a lo-fi video, very quiet and relaxing. And to make it better the coffee was really good. I tried drip coffe and latte and I’d recommend both. I’m looking forward to coming back to Osaka and staying there again.

Stayed here the past couple of nights in a room with a shared bathroom. The room was amazing, so comfortable and spacious in comparison to other rooms in Japan and I really liked the decor. The service from the staff was also fantastic and having a cafe downstairs was a nice touch. The area also has lots of little cafes dotted around the side streets. I appreciated the calm after visiting some of the busier suburbs around Osaka. Would stay again.

Great location and staff. Tiny, tiny, tiny room. But... for the location and price, it's ok. I forgive the room because the bed is memory foam and super comfy and they gave me extra pillows upon request. 🥰 You can't beat the location either. So close to the metro and prettily set overlooking the river. The staff speaks English, which is nice. There is a cafe/bar on the first floor. They serve breakfast, but it's not complimentary and I did not eat here.

The stay was wonderful. We sadly only stayed 2 nights but would loved to have stayed longer. The Staff was super helpful (For example: Helping find an Onsen that would allow Tattoos). The were also super attentive and friendly. The Breakfast was also delicious and the Cappuccino was and I quote my cousin here"The best coffee i had on my trip here!". The Rooms are clean and spacious. 10/10 would come here again!

A more minimalist trendy hotel. Decent stay but I would seek out a better location next time. We stayed in their top room, a king river view room on the top floor, but the room was pretty bare-bones. It needed many more hooks, shelves, or pieces of storage furniture; it had a small open clothing rack with 6 hangers and randomly two very dirty tiny couches that we didn’t want to sit on due to stains and cigarette smell. There was a small coffee table and that was about it. There was plenty of space to better decorate the room. Shower was decent size with good water pressure and lighting at bathroom mirror was great, but the mirror was hung too high and I could hardly lean in on my top toes to do makeup in the morning. Sink area was poorly designed and wasted space that could’ve offered storage. I enjoyed that it had hardwood floors. The projector was fun to use but takes a pretty sharp person to figure out how to use. Air conditioning didn’t seem to work and the room got unbearably hot due to large windows by 11am even in cold weather, windows did open but had no screens so bugs got in. Memory foam mattress was more comfortable than many hotels in Japan but wow the linens were awful. I stayed in January when it was quite cold and there was one super thin comforter and no blankets. I requested extra blankets and they have me one small polyester fuzzy blanket that didn’t do much to add warmth. Every other hotel we stayed at had nice cushy fluffy duvets and the bed here was way lacking and cold! I had to ask for extra pillows too. The bed frame felt cheap and creaked awfully. Rooms have no amenities but there is a shared laundry space on the 5th floor with coin laundry, water machines, and cups to borrow, with fridges where you can stash personal items. It’s nice to have this but it should just come in the room ideally. We bought the breakfast and it was quite nice each day with good service, but is a bit pricey and means you can’t sleep in since they ask you to come at a pre selected home each day. Area is not close to transportation at all in my opinion. It’s also dull with not much around. We found a few cute shops but it was hard to have fun at night since it took so long to get home to this hotel. They were gracious in shipping our bags directly from the hotel to our next and generally provided kind service. Overall I think it can serve your needs if you just want basic accommodations but I wouldn’t seek it out again.

The staff are absolutely amazing so friendly and helpful organising everything we need never a problem! The hospitality of everyone that worked there was so classy and made us feel extremely welcomed without it being over the top the room was small but perfect with an amazing river view. The breakfast and coffee in the hotel were some of the best we have had on our trip! Thank you hotel Noum
