Hotel Sunplaza 2

Hotel Sunplaza 2 is my go-to every time I visit Osaka—I genuinely won’t stay anywhere else. It’s incredibly basic, but the location is unbeatable and the value for money is spot on. I especially appreciate the clean, well-maintained public bath, which I’ve always been able to use without issue despite having tattoos—a real bonus in Japan.

It’s within my budget, good location, toilet and powder room in every floor even though those are shared, enough amenities, early check-in, and the free kakigori event during my stay. At first I was worried about the shower rooms on the first floor but it was actually decent with three shower units and a toilet for women. The shared space was comfortable for eating and there were few people at the time I had my lunch. I advise the guests to bring small tumblers or mugs for the free drinks since the paper cups are small. In the bedroom, the futon bedding and duvet were really comfy that I was able to sleep well. Aircon, refrigerator and tv worked well, too. Note that the single private room (not the Japanese room one, idk how this looks like irl) is small, enough for a 4’11”girl like me but it looks difficult to bring in a medium-sized luggage. It’s very near a train station, convenience stores, and Tennoji park! The staff were so approachable, too.

Very good Location, Shin-Sekai is a 5 min walk away and a Metro-Station 1min and the JR-Loopline 5 min. Clean an friendly Staff. Free mini Towel and Toothbrush with Toothpaste on arrival

Great location right by Tennoji park, many interesting shopping and dining areas around the hotel. There's a street to the east of the hotel that heads south that's full of karaoke bars too. Clean hotel with free hot drinks at any time down in the lobby.
