3U NAMBA MINAMI by DOYANEN

A Peaceful Oasis in the Heart of Osaka with Excellent Transport Links: My Stay at 3U Namba Minami My recent stay at 3U Namba Minami in Osaka was a truly enjoyable and peaceful experience. Despite being situated in a vibrant area, the guesthouse offered a welcome sense of tranquility, allowing for a relaxing retreat after exploring the bustling city. One of the standout features of 3U Namba Minami is its convenient location, particularly its close proximity to the subway. This made navigating Osaka incredibly easy. Furthermore, its nearness to Shin-Imamiya Station is a significant advantage for travelers arriving from or departing to the airport, providing a direct and hassle-free connection. While the bathrooms and toilets are shared facilities, I was consistently impressed by their cleanliness. Maintaining hygiene in shared spaces can be a challenge, but the management at 3U Namba Minami clearly prioritizes this, ensuring a comfortable experience for all guests. A particular highlight was the availability of Japanese toilets. The heated seats, in particular, were a delightful and much-appreciated touch, especially during the cooler evenings. This small detail truly elevated the overall comfort and convenience. The check-in and check-out processes were seamless and efficient. I appreciated the ease and speed, allowing me to quickly settle in upon arrival and depart without any unnecessary delays. Overall, 3U Namba Minami offers a fantastic option for travelers seeking a peaceful and well-maintained accommodation in Osaka with excellent transport links. Its convenient location near the subway, especially Shin-Imamiya Station for airport access, the clean shared facilities, coupled with the thoughtful inclusion of Japanese toilets, and the straightforward check-in/out process, made for a very pleasant stay. I would certainly recommend this guesthouse to others looking for a comfortable and convenient base to explore the wonders of Osaka.

I arrived on March 19 between 6 pm and 7 pm. The main entry was blocked, and I could only see a sign on the side door instructing guests to do a self-check-in to obtain a passcode for entry. Fortunately, a resident came out of the side door and let me in. A female staff member was there but seemed busy playing on her phone and did nothing to help. Later, I found out that the front desk staff should have been available to open the main door until 10 pm (see the screenshot). The next day, the front desk staff was replaced by a man who was more responsible and provided good service. I requested an extra pillow, as the ones provided were too thin for us.

This hostel is a walking distance to many things. Near the Shin Imamiya station (west exit), Shensikai area where you can see traditional Japanese night life. Food and restaurants are just everywhere. Also the traditional sento in Shesikai is very near to this hostel. Its cleanliness is superb and the staff are very helpful. Would come back to stay here in my next Osaka trip.

Very nice place with the worth budget.

The locate easier to access from airport and all attraction, mimimart and shopping center in Osaka. A price is highly reasonable and valueable.

3U namba minami is clean and new. It is also grand and comfortable.
