Yamatoya Honten Ryokan Osaka

The most gorgeous typical Japanese hotel I have ever lived in. Keys needs to be submitted to the front desk when you are planning out which I had never seen and imagined. Unbelievable near the bustling street of Donton. And some unexpected Izakayas you may visit.

I am in the hospitality business. Renovation costs in Japan are extremely high, and I imagine that this place has the same problem as many other small hotels. i.e. it is too expensive to do a full renovation. This Ryokan would have been much more expensive when the decor was new, as the rooms are very nice with ensuite shower and toilet. My room was in very good condition. Furthermore, the Ryokan is in the heart of the city, a 10min walk from Nippombashi or Namba Stations. Now the carpets and decor are shabby in places, but not the rooms, so for the price that I paid, I consider it an "excellent" stay. The staff were kind and professional. The Ryokan is right on the water's edge, and if the area directly next to the stream were kept clean and beautiful, the location would be fantastic, and much more expensive. Unfortunately, the streams that run through Osaka are dirty, and what could have been an incredible asset is instead a neglected, dirty and ugly "water corridor" instead of a beautiful and green area to enjoy refreshments right next to the water. Perhaps someone from Osaka Tourist Board or Osaka Government will read this review and consider a major renovation and clean-up of these water-courses that criss-cross the city of Osaka. They could become Osaka's greatest asset.

Great location right in the city centre near dontonbori markets. Free public bath at the ryokan and authentic ryokan feel. However, amenities were a little run down

일본의 도심 도톤보리 바로 앞에 숙소가 있어 대중교통이 편리하고 숙소 자체도 별이 3개짜리 숙소라 깔끔함 자체에 흠잡을 곳이 없습니다 다만 아무래도 주변이 도톤보리 시내이다 보니 사람들이 조금 많은게 아쉽습니다

위치가 좋고 직원분들이 매우 친절합니다 아무리 알아봐도 오사카 도톤보리 인근에서 제대로된 다다미방은 여기가 유일한 것 같아요!

位置：一下樓就是各種購物點，心齋橋就沒幾步路，位置一流，地鐵也很近-日本橋，各種買買買的人非常適合，反正在酒店裡沒遇到同胞，都是洋人、韓國、台灣人；住宿：是那個人給了我一個榻榻米+兩張床，個人認為一家五口口都能睡進去，而且雖然在鬧市區，但非常安靜；剛開始看那幾個差評，還有點擔心，但入住後顧慮都打消了，有時候一些差評或許都是些遇到事的人，或要求比較高的人吧。服務：有個香港小姐姐講中文；日本人服務也都很好。負一樓的浴池大多數浴池一樣，沒異味乾淨，反正走累的晚上去洗洗很舒服，開放時間也很長。酒店會用中英韓等文字提醒入住訊息。反正我個人體驗值得推薦。家裡人也很滿意。推薦給朋友。
