Hotel K6 Osaka Namba

The things that were included for free were absolutely beyond my expectations and makes this accomodation very competitive! It was also super easy to get to places from and is a little off the busy street of dontonbori which is what you want so it’s not too crazy. We travelled with two kids and two adults and the room was big. They also had a little play area where they had food and drinks right next to which is a god send for people with children! The staff were lovely and this can easily suit any group of people.

The hotel is located at the start of Dotonbori and a short walk to Namba station. They offer drinks, food and various amenities for free which was a pleasant experience. You can even select which kind of pillow you prefer from a shelf in the lobby. The rooms are made in a traditional way with dark wood and are on the smaller side. All bathroom amenities you can think of are provided and there is a fridge, microwave and coffe maker plus two massage chairs in the room. We can only recommend this hotel and would stay there again.

We cannot rate this hotel highly enough. Where do i start. I was travelling with my wife and adult daughter. After a multiple train trip from Nozawa Onsen we had an easy 500m walk from the Namba metro station. I had originally booked a hotel close to Namba station. However I later realized that this was this was quite a different above ground train station some distance from the main tourist area. I rebooked at the K6 Hotel and was pleased to find its front door was just 50m from the Dotonbori canal and the vibrant Dotonbori area. We were greeted by a very friendly man on the desk. Although his English was limited he had a very clever hand held device that he spoke in to and it instantly gave us English instructions. He gave us adjoining rooms. Although my Bookings.com print out indicated there was no meal plan, he explained that a complimentary breakfast buffet was included. We were further surprised when he told us there was a complimentary DIY ramen buffet available each evening. There were also complimentary steamed meat buns and popcorn throughout the day. I had read about the complimentary bar in other reviews and thought it was probably too good to be true. But there it was opposite the reception desk! Spirits, draft beer, 8 different varieties of sake, soft drinks, coffee, hot chocolate etc. The hotel has Balinese decor. Beautiful wood carvings, paintings and furniture. The rooms were spotless. Balinese style 4 poster beds. Separate toilet, Japanese style bathroom and polished timber floors. The hotel lobby had stands with complimentary bathroom ammenities even hair straighteners. There was a stand where items such as computer cables, chargers and power adaptors could be "rented" for free. The location allowed easy exploration of the Dotonbori area. The metro station allowed easy access to Osaka Castle and the Shinsekai tourist area. We were even offered a free umbrella on the rainy morning we left!

The location is exceptional! Just a walk down to Dotombori, with nearby foodie, 24hrs Don Quijote, train station, Takashimaya, you cant get a better location that sleeps a family of 5. Hotel also has an assortment of beauty care products for choosing and using within the premises. No additional cost! And the welcome drinks bar is great too! You can even take those small little cards to the reception to “loan” games while in the hotel to pass time other than watching TV, like UNO, chess etc. There is also a Karaoke room which we can book for free. The staff are friendly and helpful. Able to communicate well in English (I am still learning Japanese and am not proficient yet), and able to answer my queries about the facilities. The room is fitted with two sinks with two taps each, one for drinking and the other for washing. The bath tub area has a dimmer switch control and a water proof TV! Toilet and dressing area lights are controlled automatically. The bunk bed on the upper deck is actually quite spacious. Can easily sleep two kids. They even provided all types of cable charging cables if you forget to bring one along, near the bed. The ceiling is the map of old Osaka. The one you will see in Osaka Castle.

Wow, what a hotel. Right on Dotonbori. This hotel provides nearly everything for free. Breakfast, Ramen after 7pm, free SPIRITS, soft drinks, coffee, popcorn, chocolates and so many personal amenities like face masks, bubble baths, stress balls...lol The list goes on, all at at great nightly rate. If I come back to Osaka, I will definitely be staying here again
