Located in the center of Namba, Osaka, "Namba Oriental Hotel" is about a 5-minute walk from Namba Station, making it an accommodation facility with excellent access. On this occasion, we had the opportunity to experience the newly established "Residential Floor" rooms, breakfast buffet, exclusive guest lounge, and other in-house facilities and services. Based on our stay, we will provide a detailed introduction to the hotel's attractions.
Namba Oriental Hotel: Conveniently Located Near Osaka’s Popular Spots – Namba & Shinsaibashi
Namba Oriental Hotel is located in Namba, the center of Osaka, within walking distance of the tourist attractions Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori, making it an ideal location for shopping and gourmet food. The sleekly designed rooms and state-of-the-art amenities provide a convenient and comfortable stay for business and leisure travelers. The guest-only lounge and substantial facilities are also one of the attractions.
Namba Oriental Hotel features three main concept floors. The "Oriental Floor" (4th–5th floors) offers simple and modern guest rooms, providing a comfortable stay for a variety of purposes, including business and sightseeing. The "Oriental Quality Floor" (6th–9th floors) features elegant design and luxurious interiors, offering an upgraded stay recommended for those seeking a more refined experience.
The "Residential Floor", newly opened in December 2024, is located on the 3rd floor and consists of nine spacious rooms. Accommodating up to six guests, each room includes a private terrace, a fully equipped kitchen with cooking utensils, and a washer-dryer—making it ideal for long-term stays or group travel.
On the 4th floor, you'll find an open-air courtyard called the "PATIO." Surrounded by lush greenery, it’s a relaxing space where guests can read a book or simply unwind. In the evening, the area is beautifully lit up, creating a romantic atmosphere that's quite different from the daytime.
Experience Review of the New Residential Floor!
During the stay, we had the opportunity to stay in a room on the Residential Floor. The rooms on this floor feature a calm and sophisticated atmosphere with interiors that are simple yet refined. Since this floor was newly opened in December 2024, everything—from the furnishings to the facilities—was brand new! The room was equipped with a table, chairs, and a comfortable sofa, making it ideal for long-term stays. The bed was also incredibly cozy, creating a relaxing and comfortable space to unwind.
Additionally, the room comes with a terrace, where you can enjoy tea time during the day and stargazing at night.
The room is even equipped with high-quality amenities and facilities. It includes hair irons, dryers, and a facial steamer from YA-MAN, a prestigious Japanese beauty equipment brand. These premium items provide a luxurious experience that is hard to find in other hotels.
Also has a front loader washing machine that combines both washing and drying functions. This allows you to complete all your laundry within the room without the need to go to a laundromat, making it as convenient as doing laundry at home. There’s no need to hang clothes to dry, and with the dryer, your clothes will be dried and ready to wear in no time—one of the great advantages of the room.
Furthermore, fully equipped with glasses, plates, an induction cooktop, and other cooking utensils, making it convenient for guests to buy ingredients and cook within the room. With facilities ideal for long-term stays, it’s a highly convenient and appreciated service, especially for travelers, families, or groups of friends.
A Wide Variety of Breakfast Options at "Bloom Field DINING"!
Breakfast is served at "Bloom Field DINING", a restaurant located on the 2nd floor of the hotel. With its bright and open atmosphere, it's a great place to enjoy a relaxing meal.
The breakfast buffet offers more than 70 different dishes, focusing on both Japanese and Western cuisine, and the variety was truly impressive! At the live kitchen, chefs prepare three types of dishes right in front of you, so you can enjoy freshly made meals!
- French toast with truffle butter
- Freshly fried pork fillet burger
- Crouffle Benedict Smoked Salmon
Everything was delicious, but our personal favorite was the “Freshly Fried Pork Fillet Burger”—the pink sauce paired perfectly with the juicy, tender cutlet! If you get the chance, we highly recommend giving it a try.
The “French Toast with Truffle Butter” was also incredible! The rich aroma of truffle was absolutely mouthwatering and added a luxurious, flavorful depth to the dish.
They also served Osaka specialties like takoyaki, kushikatsu, and tamagoyaki, along with freshly baked bread, noodles, fresh vegetables, and fruits—everything was absolutely delicious! We were a bit disappointed we couldn’t try it all because we got full too quickly. But for guests staying longer, it’s great that you have the chance to sample different items over multiple days!
Breakfast is served from 6:30 AM to 10:00 AM. The level of crowding varies depending on the time, and after 8:00 AM, it can get quite busy, sometimes with lines forming. So it’s a good idea to go early and enjoy the hotel's breakfast with plenty of time to spare.
A Complete Guide to the Two Exclusive Lounges for Hotel Guests!
Namba Oriental Hotel offers two exclusive lounges for guests, each designed for a different purpose.
WELCOME LOUNGE
The "WELCOME LOUNGE" is a relaxing space where you can take a break after check-in or upon returning from sightseeing. The spacious area is furnished with comfortable chairs and sofas, creating a calm and inviting atmosphere. In addition to alcoholic beverages like beer, sparkling wine, and locally brewed sake from Osaka, the lounge also offers coffee, tea, and other drinks. Guests can also enjoy complimentary light snacks such as freshly made mini pancakes, nuts, and other treats. It's the perfect spot to chat and relax with friends over a drink. Plus, the lounge is equipped with Wi-Fi, making it a convenient space for getting some work done on your laptop.
The "WELCOME LOUNGE" is open from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. It's said to be the most crowded after 9:00 PM, so keep that in mind when planning your visit. As the lounge is exclusively for hotel guests, you’ll need your room key to enter.
LAUNDRY LOUNGE
The "LAUNDRY LOUNGE" is equipped with washing machines and dryers, making it a convenient feature for travelers—especially those on longer stays—who need to do laundry during their trip. The machines are operated via smartphone. While the system may display a “cash payment” option, guests can actually use the machines free of charge. The washing machines use an allergen-free cleaning process without detergent, and five types of fabric softeners are also provided for guests to use freely.
The lounge also features sofas and a drink station, providing a comfortable space where you can relax, use your phone, or get some work done on your laptop while waiting for your laundry to finish. It’s a very convenient space and it's available 24 hours a day.
Convenient for Travelers: The “Smart Pack” Clothing Compression Service!
Another convenient feature is the “Smart Pack” clothes compression machine located in the Laundry Lounge. This machine allows you to compress washed clothes into a compact size, helping to reduce the bulk of your luggage. It's especially useful when you're struggling to fit things into your suitcase or bag while traveling, or if you want to minimize the amount of laundry you bring back home.
With just the push of a button, you can easily operate the machine, and when clothes are compressed in neatly folded form, wrinkles are kept to a minimum. It’s an incredibly practical service for guests looking for a smarter, more efficient way to travel.
Smart Luggage Management with Convenient Self-Lockers Available Before and After Check-in!
Namba Oriental Hotel provides self-lockers, offering two types of storage options: box-style lockers for bags and smaller items, and a type where you can secure your suitcase with a wire for safekeeping. This convenient facility allows hotel guests to store their luggage before check-in or after check-out. It’s especially appealing for those who want to move around easily without carrying large bags during sightseeing or business trips.
The lockers are equipped with a PIN code system, ensuring strong security. Using them is simple: after storing your luggage, you set your own preferred PIN code. When you're ready to retrieve your items, just enter the code you set, and the locker will unlock, allowing you to take out your belongings. Since the PIN code can be set individually, it is not shared with other guests. You can securely leave your luggage in the hotel’s self-lockers before and after sightseeing, providing peace of mind!
Easily Access the Oriental Hotel: 5 Minutes from Namba Station, 13 Minutes from JR Namba!
Access to Namba Oriental Hotel is extremely convenient. There’s a hanging banner sign right in front of the hotel entrance, making it easy to find.
