Accommodation in Shinsaibashi Osaka!

Today, I would like to recommend Mercure Tokyo Stay Osaka Namba. I stayed there in December 2024 (approximately 6,794฿ per night, split among 3 people). The hotel has an excellent location, just across the street from Namba. Behind the hotel, there is a famous yakiniku restaurant called Yakiniku Dondon (reservation required). - 🛌 The room is not cramped, but with three beds, there is no space between them. The bathroom and shower are separate, and there is a bathtub 🛁. After walking 20,000 steps a day, soaking in the tub is the best feeling 😂. - 💡 However, the room lighting is not very bright, making it a bit difficult to do makeup. There is no full-length mirror. The hotel's decor is somewhat dark, from the elevator to the hallways. - 🧺 The hotel has a coin-operated laundry room, but you need to get the key from the front desk. The machines might not be available; ours was free at 11 PM. Once done, you need to return the key by 1 AM (2 hours). Overall, it's quite convenient, and the staff are nice. However, due to the high number of guests, the staff initially sent us to a room that was already occupied (they gave us a key card, and we opened the door to find someone else's belongings, luckily no people, or it would have been quite a shock 😅). We had to go back and get another room, but they didn't provide an extra bed for us. We ended up wasting time changing rooms.
