Moxy Osaka Honmachi

Stayed for 4 nights in Dec. 2024, and it was great. First visit ever to Japan for us. The hotel is about 10 mins walk from train station, easy walk, safe at night and plenty of lights around. Easy check in, we used Marriott Bonvoy points and it was worth it. Room was well laid out, furniture folds up and hanged when not in use. No microwave in room, but there is one by the bar area. We loved everything in the room, comfy bed, ac easy to adjust, bathroom was great, the water pressure in shower was nice after a long walking day.|Staff was friendly during breakfast, plenty of options. As a bonvoy member, we had the option for breakfast as our welcome gift and it was worth it. They have 2 washers and dryers, but dryers does not dry good, we didn't fill it too much but still had to run 2 cycles and it was still a little damp after so we just air dried in room.||Plenty of convenience stores around, restaurants walking distance as well. Highly recommend staying here. We plan on coming back here in the future.

Our absolutely new favourite location. We much prefer this location compared to the Umeda given the subway is 6min walk to the Brown or Green line. There are also good eats around, and great for people who’ve already been to Japan and just want to avoid all that noise when too close to tourist areas. Will be coming again, and high recommend it. It’s clean, laundry coin operated on site, rooms are spacious. We were able to open our 2 luggages and still had space to walk around. (Queen bed booking) Comfortable bed and pillows. You get what you picked on the Bonvoy booking site. If you’re a gold member of Marriott. Don’t bother asking for upgrade / availability. They outlined in printing at front desk they will honor the 2pm check out etc.

Having stayed at a couple of Moxy around , I always looked forward to my stay whenever I have a chance and this Moxy didn’t disappoint in most aspect.||Check in was done at the bar counter and was given my room within minutes. The room (since I was upgraded) is by Japanese standard large considering that it comes with a King Size bed. Everything is as any Moxy I am familiar with.||The only down side to this Moxy is the very limited choice of breakfast which though I knew Moxy as fuss free, it could have been better in this case. The hotel is also located off the Main Street which makes it quiet and it is also not too close to subway station having more used to always a subway entrance / exit just steps away.||Overall a nice experience considering I know what to expect from Moxy.

This hotel had the largest rooms and bathrooms on my trip. It is located in a not too busy area but if you need to make a quick emergency trip or stock up on last minute souvenirs there’s a family mart and 24 hour pharmacy five minutes away. I wish I had stayed longer than one night.

Everything in the hotel was clean and looked very new. I enjoyed my stay at this hotel very much. The room I had was very spacious, there was a ton of floor space to have 2 large luggages opened and still be able to walk around. Staff was very friendly and helpful with shipping my luggage to my next destination.

This is my regular hotel for my work trips to Osaka. Good price for the location that is convenient for my work. Also having a pharmacy (Sugi Yakkyoku) in 1 min distance is very handy as they open late and have many snacks and drinks at discounted prices. The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 star is the gym. Could you please add more smaller weights for training. Good to have some dumbells in the gym but rangers so skewed to heavy end and limits the types of workout we can do with weights.

We stayed for three nights in July 2024. Location is not bad - about a 10 minute walk to the midosuji metro line and an easy 25-30 minute walk to the castle. Feels like it is more of a business district - so not a lot to see or do in the immediate area. Overall feel is this hotel is a place that tries a bit too hard to be on-trend and cool. For example, they had a dj in the lobby one evening but there were no patrons there, just the staff. ||Rooms were not a bad size and very clean / well-appointed. I love the Japanese practice of providing complimentary canned/bottled water in the rooms, especially at this time of year (I am currently staying in Whistler, Canada and our hotel charges $4.50 for a similar can of water!). There was however an odd low buzz sound in the rooms - as if someone was running a planing saw way off in the distance. I could not sleep the first night because of it but admittedly my wife barely noticed it - so maybe it’s just me.||Staff were friendly and helpful. ||Laundry machines were a great idea and were a deciding factor in choosing this hotel. That said, the machines were not as good as the ones at Moxy Kyoto, which had a security code you enter so no one can take your laundry out of the machine except you. ||There is nothing at all wrong with this hotel - a better location would have merited a 4 star rating. Maybe we’ll try the other Moxy in Osaka next time!

Service was amazing especially Sue who went above & beyond to help us navigate a website for an excursion we were booking. Our rooms were super clean, small but very efficient. We enjoyed being in an area with good access to many areas and train station.

Whenever I'm in Asia, I try to make side trips to get myself out of the work mode. I went to Osaka one weekend in early December. It was my second trip to Osaka and I wanted to stay in the city center so that I could go to Kyoto for the day. Moxy has a great breakfast joint. It served Japanese and American food. The welcome drink is a nice surprise with sake. My best find is the izakaya restaurant that is literately 10 steps away from the hotel front door. Not on Yelp but it is almost adjacent and you can't miss it as it's right next to the hotel. I got the best sashimi and sake one can hope for. The room is spacious for Japan and very tidy. I couldn't asked for a better design. The downside is that it didn't have coffee maker, so I just drank as much as I could when I was at breakfast. Subway is very confusing but there is a subway that takes you to Kyoto that is 600 meters away. On a Saturday night they had a nice Christmas band and they were out there singing and dancing. I went to the lobby for a drink and got to catch the holiday vibe. I would absolutely recommend this to a single traveler. I would not go with a family. It's too petite for the family ( I last stayed at the St. Regis in Osaka with the family), but great for a single person.

After staying at a mediocre Airbnb for four nights, my bf and I decided to cancel our reservations and use his corporate discount for a hotel instead. We decided on the Moxy and was very happy with our choice. There is a walking distance of around 30 minutes to get to Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi. It's actually quite the workout. In general, the hotel is an affordable sister branch of the Marriott. It kind of reminds me of the W with its smart and stylish designs and decors. Even though it's not huge, the room was no doubt comfortable, clean, and perfect for two. It had everything we needed for a two-night stay. The lobby is modern with an industrial vibe. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take pictures because Chinese tourists were parked everywhere making it hard for me to maneuver from the check-in counter to the elevator. Overall, I highly recommend the Moxy if there's one in the city you're visiting. However, for Osaka specifically, I thought the Moxy was a little out of the way for all the tourist attractions.

I want to disclose that I am a Marriott member and stay at Marriott hotels for all my travels. This is my first time staying at a Moxy hotel. Unlike my previous experience, there is no concierge service, bell boys, executive lounge or room upgrade at this hotel. Location: The hotel is a 5 to 7 minute walk from the train station (Sakai-suji Hommachi station). However, it is not centrally located. It is about a 20 minute train ride to dontabori and Osaka station. Area: the area is busy with people going to work in the morning but very quiet at night. Lobby: the lobby is very nice. It feels like a bar than a regular Marriott hotel with the music and bottles. I was there during the World Cup. During the night when Japan was playing, the hotel played the game on a projector and the lobby was packed with hotel guests watching. It felt very communal. Check in: you checkin in at the bar. they give you a free drink ticket upon checkin. I tried the moxy cocktail, it was above average. Room: The rooms are smaller than your typical Marriott hotels. There is no windows in the room and you are surrounded by grey doors. There was barely room to sit or walk once you put your luggage. Overall: I think it is a great hotel for the budget American travel. However, if you want the marriott experience, then this hotel might not be for you. You do not get free breakfast for being an elite member. Also, if you want something closer to Osaka, I would pick a different hotel.

One of my favorite Marriott experiences was at this hotel! They are so nice here and I love the decorations. I loved the small rooms that were very thoughtfully designed. The vibe here is modern and young, full of energy, ready for a good time. The breakfast is amazing! It is the perfect amount to start off your day in Osaka. The hotel is located close to Shinsaibashi. Probably a 15-20 minute walk. Or you can take the subway but it provably takes you around the same amount of time. It's so safe around the area. Even at night. I really loved staying here. The staff is also amazing. We came when it was only 10 months now since it's opening. I was there during New Year's Eve. They had a DJ and drinks and small food items. The hotel puts on social events in the lobby. It seems like a nice idea but also not something I would probably partake in. But it is not that it is available.

First time staying at a Moxy, stayed on points and luckily got upgraded to a larger room. Room size was fairly standard compared to our previous hotels in other cities around the same price. Buffet breakfast looked mediocre and was a bit pricey so we skipped it. It's in what seems to be a business type district so not much in the way of places for dinner nearby. It's also not close to a train station which isn't too bad of an issue but did add 7-10 minutes of walking to all our activities. Likely would stay at a hotel closer to a train station next time, but it was fine.

I knew it'd be a "minimalist" hotel, so it worked for me, but Hubby didn't enjoy his stay as much. He was hoping for more of a traditional type. By minimalist, I meant no closet, no fridge, with the table and chair hanging on the wall. Decor is hip, simple in black and pink. Room is small, but that is standard. Staff is on the younger side with a casual vibe which could be misconstrued as unprofessional. The bar double duties as check in/check out, so beware if you are in a hurry. The lobby is spacious and welcoming. Many guests just hung out there for an extended period of time. There is coin-operated laundry facility. Detergent is included. On Friday night, there was even a DJ spinning in the lobby. One downside is that the hotel is not located close to a main train station, but it's not far away from a sub station. There is a 7 Eleven (or was it Lawson?) across the street. Many eateries are near the hotel. I would stay at Moxy again. In fact, I'll try the New York one very soon.

My partner and I stayed at the Osaka Moxy for three nights, and overall, I thought the price was extremely reasonable and it's definitely a hip, different kind of hotel. We have never stayed at this brand, though, I know they exist around the world. It's basically trying to be like a W with the vague club atmosphere in the common area, except more hipster with random decor like cat pillows and Jenga sets to play. We told the hotel that it was our honeymoon, and they sent up a split of rose champagne for us to enjoy, a nice touch. The staff was always friendly and engaged. The room was relatively bare bones, but I think that's what they are selling at this price point. There is no closet, but there are plenty of hooks and hangers if you need them. I didn't really find it a nuisance, but that is something to be aware of. Especially considering this is Japan and space is always at a premium in the big cities, I did not feel claustrophobic. The bathroom was large, and the shower was very nice - a rainfall shower. There was even enough room to sit down. Breakfast was included in our room, and you eat it in the lobby area. There was a good amount of food, and they have Ramen in udon made to order. Just like you would have an omelette station in a Western hotel. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here. The location is quite convenient to a lot of the lines in Osaka, Bill this is the business district so it is kind of dead during the evenings. But that's not the worst thing.

Cool vibe, good location, very minimalistic. Typically we stay at Marriott properties (love the points) - this is our first time staying at a Moxy. The space is cool, you feel very hip but there is not much to it in terms of elegance. The rooms in my opinion were very good size and the bed was comfortable. Great shower with two different types of shower options (rain shower head or handheld). There was a gym opening party the day we arrived making the lobby very very crowded - you could not get a seat to sit and have a drink in the lobby - I would assume this is not typically the case. The bar and lobby area are open 24 hours a day, which was wonderful when at 3:00 am I was wide awake and ready to start my day. Try the Green Tea Chocolate Latte it did not disappoint. This hotel was a great option for us because within a mile both ways there were things to do - a mile walk to Dotonburi and a mile walk in the opposite direction to the Osaka Castle.

it was a surprise the host is high quality with an economic prince at Christmas season. it is also in the Marriott chain with the quality assurance. Breakfast included for gold members. great location close to Osaka castle.

What a great hotel and staff. The hotel is located in a 7 minute walk to the subway and it's located by plenty of authentic/locally owned restaurants. The hotel rooms were clean and spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The staff was so nice and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this place!

One of the worst experiences I have had. Specifically this location only. I did my laundry in the hotel laundry room here and noticed that someone had stolen some of my clothes. The hotel said they checked the machine to see if any was stuck in the machine then did absolutely nothing else. They said "sorry, nothing we can do."

Not as good as the Moxy Tokyo. Not as friendly and not as well run. Breakfast buffet was mediocre. Things ran out and weren't replaced. Housekeeping is non-existent. We never had our room refreshed and had to call to ask for fresh towels. We came back to our room at 5pm on a Saturday looking forward to a quick shower before going back out (it's really hot outside) and housekeeping never came. We called and were told they were gone for the day. We are Titanium Elite Marriott members and expected more than this. On a good note the location of the hotel is nice and we had a very pleasant stay at the Moxy in Tokyo.

Weird vibe - felt new with service kinks. Room was clean and smelled fresh and new. Lots of hooks to hang things which was convenient. Random stool in bathroom I kept stubbing my toes on because it didn't fit under the sink. Drink vouchers were not logical -- couldn't redeem for house wine (lesser value than the draft beer and house cocktail they offered). Bartender put a bandaid on his finger in front of us at the bar before making our drinks which felt quite unsanitary. Staff seemed a bit inexperienced / not used to providing service at the Marriott level, though I suppose this is a budget Marriott brand. Lobby was very loud and echoey. Not a lot of sound dampening materials in rooms or common spaces. There were some toys in the lobby that kids were loudly playing with over breakfast (an alligator that makes a loud winding up and clapping sound, etc). Breakfast was fine (extra charge); served on metal trays/cups/plates that felt cheap. Overall fine for a budget property, but my expectations were too high given the Marriott association.
