HOTEL THE FLAG Shinsaibashi

Stayed for 4 nights in November 2025 and absolutely loved the convenient location — right in the heart of Shinsaibashi with countless food and shopping options just steps away. You’ll never go hungry here, even at midnight, with several Lawsons right outside the hotel! It’s also surrounded by three major train stations, making it extremely easy to explore Osaka and travel around without any hassle. The staff were friendly and hospitable throughout our stay. I also really enjoyed the cosy lounge area with a fireplace, and the quiet reading nook near the laundry room. It made the hotel feel extra homely and comfortable. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Osaka who loves being close to everything! 🙌✨

This hotel was truly exceptional! Its prime location, just a 10-minute walk from Dotonbori and 6 minutes from the metro, made exploring Osaka a breeze. Our 8-night stay exceeded all expectations; the beds were comfortable, and the room was spacious. The convenient on-site laundry was a huge plus. The breakfast spread was incredible, offering a wide variety of delicious options. Every staff member was incredibly friendly and helpful, even assisting us with getting our four suitcases into our rental car. We will definitely choose this hotel again on our next visit to Osaka.

The hotel was great, location is exactly what’s needed, good amenities and overall great value. If I come back to Osaka I will stay here again for sure. It is walking distance from anything you need (restaurants, bars, shopping, public transport). The area is really nice at night, but also safe. They offer good coffee all day, water and the laundry service is great. They also have a designated smoking room in the reception area. What I also appreciated is that in the room there is a telephone they offer where you can see all the info necessary, including if the laundry is available.

The Flag is truly exceptional. Its proximity to Dotonbori and a subway station is highly convenient, and the surrounding neighborhood offers a vibrant atmosphere with excellent shops and restaurants. The hotel itself is particularly noteworthy, featuring comfortable rooms, spacious bathrooms, and an aesthetically pleasing design. Complimentary coffee, water, and amenities are also provided. Furthermore, the staff demonstrated outstanding service throughout our entire stay. We are quite sad to depart, and we wholeheartedly recommend this establishment when visiting Osaka.

Staying at HOTEL THE FLAG Shinsaibashi was a great experience overall. The hotel itself is very modern with plenty of amenities — around four washers and dryers (with live availability viewable from your room), vending machines, free coffee, a change machine, and even a library area to relax in. The rooms were comfortable and spacious enough for a couple, with modern facilities and decent streaming options. The biggest highlight was definitely the staff. The hotel clearly puts effort into hiring a multilingual team — we met staff who spoke excellent English and other languages, and there’s even a pinboard showing which days and hours each language speaker is available (English, German, French, Japanese, etc.). It’s a thoughtful touch that makes the experience smooth for international guests. Breakfast was a Western-style buffet, good for those who prefer continental options. The location is right in the heart of Shinsaibashi — perfect if you like being in the middle of the action, shops, and nightlife. For us personally, we found the area a bit too busy, so we’d probably stay elsewhere next time. But for families or travelers who enjoy the energy of downtown Osaka, this hotel is an excellent choice.

We stayed for five nights here. The service was great, and the location is the best, being near the Shinsaibashi shopping street. The staff can speak various languages. Around the hotel, you can find many convenient stores (Family Mart, Lawson, 7-Eleven) and a lot of restaurants and cafés. The thing I would like them to improve is their breakfast offering. I wish they would add a Japanese-style breakfast because I only found Western-style breakfast every day. However, I will certainly stay here again next time I visit Osaka. 👍🏻

Amazing stay in the heart of Osaka! We absolutely loved our stay here. The location is perfect — right in the center of Osaka, with most major attractions, great restaurants, and lively bars within walking distance. The service was excellent, and the staff were always friendly and helpful. As part of our honeymoon, we received a complimentary breakfast on our first morning, which was so delicious and reasonably priced (only 2000 yen per person) that we decided to add it for another day as well. The hotel has a modern and comfortable design, with convenient facilities like laundry machines, a cozy lounge area with tasty coffee and water, and spacious rooms that were perfect for a couple. They also handled the delivery of our luggage to our next hotel quickly and efficiently. Overall, this was the best city hotel we stayed at during our trip to Japan — highly recommended!

Damn i likes it here. I had 5 hotels in Japan on my trip and this was by far the most clean, service oriented and beautiful room service hotel ever. Staff was 1A and they helped with everything in fluent english. Your room was big enough and so clean. Everything was so easy walkable and no hustlr to take any metros etc. would visit again and again
