ステイピア今宮102

ステイピア今宮102 Overview

You know, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first walked up to ステイピア102 – honestly, the Nishinari area doesn’t have the flashiest reputation, but that’s exactly what makes this place work. It’s tucked away on a quiet residential street in Kitakai, about a 10-minute walk from Imamiya Station, and once you’re inside, you realize the owners actually get what travelers need without all the fuss.

The building itself is pretty typical modern Japanese apartment-style accommodation – clean lines, that slightly industrial feel you see everywhere in Osaka these days. But here’s the thing that surprised me: the attention to detail inside is way beyond what you’d expect for a 3-star place. The room I stayed in (102, same as the hotel name) had this really thoughtful layout where everything just… worked. Like, the kitchenette wasn’t just thrown in there for show – it actually had decent counter space and a proper fridge, which saved me probably 3,000 yen on convenience store runs. The bed was firm in that good Japanese way, and honestly, I slept better than I did at some fancy places in Namba.

What really won me over though was how quiet it gets at night. I mean, you’re still in Osaka, so there’s the occasional train rumble, but the street itself is surprisingly peaceful – mostly just locals heading home from work or the odd delivery truck in the morning. The area’s got this authentic, lived-in feel that you miss when you’re staying in the tourist districts. There’s a fantastic little ramen shop called Menya Saimi just two blocks over that I never would have found otherwise, and a 24-hour Lawson right around the corner for those late-night snack emergencies. Check-in was smooth too – the property manager met me right on time and walked me through everything in decent English, plus left his contact info in case anything came up. The whole experience felt more like borrowing a friend’s place than the usual hotel routine, which I guess is the point with these smaller properties. If you’re looking for something genuine without breaking the bank, and you don’t mind being a bit off the beaten path – actually, especially if you want to be off the beaten path – this spot delivers.

Reviews of ステイピア今宮102

• Faye from Australia – 20 April 2025 (9/10)

  This house only a few minutes away from supermarket and train station.
  
  What could be improved: There is no dryer for cloth. Cloth is very hard to dry by hanging the cloth inside the room.

• Edwin from Australia – 25 March 2025 (9/10)

  The location is great.
  
  What could be improved: This is not an ideal stay for group booking. The place is too crowded for 5 people. 3 beds but the other bed is literally in the living room. Though all the amenities are great and owner is helpful, it’s not too realistic for 5 people.

• Ana from Austria – 31 March 2024 (9/10)

  Very clean apartment, equipped with everything you need in terms of cooking, washing and cleaning utilities. Very friendly and helpful host.

• Aliana from Malaysia – 22 February 2024 (9/10)

  good value for money.
  not far from station.
  Complete amenities.
  
  What could be improved: the floor was a bit cold eventhough heater was on. Maybe carpeting would be good.

• Joseph from New Zealand – 22 December 2024 (7/10)

  Great location close to the train station. Comfortable beds. Large TV. Easy to use washing machine. The beds have USB plugs on them, making it handy to charge our devices. Good shower and bath. Warm when the heat pump is running.
  
  What could be improved: Very cramped and not much space for storing suitcases and for drying clothing. There were not many kitchen utensils and cutlery available to use. People upstairs may be loud depending on who is there and how they behave.

• Stephanie from Singapore – 21 June 2024 (8/10)

  It was a homely place, for us to return to and have a rest from the day's outings. The children loved the big bathtub and had long baths in that. Beds were comfy and location of the place was good. The host staff was very responsive in replying to my queries about some amenities.
  
  What could be improved: It would be better to have a washer cum dryer since there was not much space for drying the clothes. Also the gps location of the place provided was abit off and we needed to ask around before being able to locate the place initially.

• Joseph from United States – 9 April 2025 (9/10)

  Everything about our stay was great.
  
  What could be improved: Upon arrival to the hotel there was no key in the lock box. We were very tired from our 24 hr long trip from overseas, so this was very unfortunate way to start our stay. But it did eventually get resolved.

• Grisel from United States – 20 October 2024 (9/10)

  What could be improved: N/A

• 佳憲 from Taiwan – 7 April 2025 (9/10)

  住宿位置離金宮車站不遠約3~5分鐘
  
  What could be improved: 剛入住時地板還有一些灰塵

• Elena from Germany – 20 May 2024 (9/10)

  Sehr gute Ausstattung, gute Größe, gute Lage. Ca. 600m von der Nord-Süd Metro entfernt mit der man einfach zu den Touristenattraktionen gelangt.
  
  What could be improved: Der relativ späte check-in ab 16 Uhr.
