Apartment House Mebius Namba Residence 601

Hotel Description

Honestly, when I first booked Apartment House Mebius Namba Residence 601, I was a bit skeptical about the long name – sounded sort of corporate, you know? But walking into this place on Nihonbashi 4-chome completely changed my perspective. It’s actually tucked into this quieter residential pocket that most tourists miss, which is perfect because you’re literally a five-minute walk from all the Namba chaos but can actually sleep at night without drunk salarymen singing karaoke outside your window.

The apartment itself feels like someone’s actual home rather than a sterile hotel room, and I mean that in the best way possible. Room 601 has these big windows that let in amazing light during the day, and the kitchen – well, it’s small but functional enough that I actually cooked a few meals instead of eating konbini food every night (though honestly, the 7-Eleven downstairs is dangerously convenient). What really got me was how thoughtfully everything was set up. There’s a proper washer, good water pressure in the shower, and enough space to spread out your stuff without living out of a suitcase. The building itself is pretty new, so you don’t get those paper-thin walls you sometimes find in older Tokyo apartments – I never heard my neighbors, which in Osaka is basically a miracle.

Location-wise, you’re in this sweet spot where Kuromon Market is about ten minutes on foot, and you can walk to Dotonbori without dealing with the packed subway during rush hour. But here’s what the guidebooks don’t tell you – being on the Nihonbashi side means you’re closer to Den Den Town if you’re into electronics or anime stuff, and there’s this incredible hole-in-the-wall ramen place called Menya 7.5Hz just around the corner that locals actually go to. I stumbled across it my second night and ended up eating there three more times. The neighborhood has this lived-in feel during the day with families and older folks doing their shopping, then it’s pretty quiet in the evenings. Perfect if you want to experience Osaka life beyond the tourist bubble but still be close enough to jump into the action whenever you want. The 8.9 rating honestly feels about right – it’s not luxury, but it’s exactly what you’d want if you’re planning to actually explore the city rather than hang out in your room all day.

  the rooms and balcony
  
  What could be improved: the heater could have been consistent

• Sara from United Kingdom – 19 August 2024 (8/10)

  It was very spacious with plenty of space for our group. It was great to have a nice sized communal area to hang out in
  
  What could be improved: The shower was very noisy when you tried to increase the temperature from cold. Fortunately it was very hot outside, so a cool shower was welcome

• Tracey from Australia – 10 May 2025 (7/10)

  Location was excellent and close to lots of shops and stations
  
  What could be improved: Shower pressure was poor and also would make loud noises

• Bbb34 from Japan – 26 May 2025 (7/10)

  寝室が3部屋あり、家族（5人以上）で一緒に宿泊するにあたりとても便利でした。駅までは少し距離がありますが、スーパーやドラックストアも少し歩けばあり、とても便利でした。
  
  What could be improved: 建物の入り口で下の階（オフィス）の方々が煙草を吸っており迷惑でした。エレベーターの入り口から部屋までが狭かったです。ネジが取れたダイニングチェアとベットがあり、子どもの安全面に気を付ける必要がありました。写真では使用可能に見えた上階への入り口は鍵がかかっていました（不要だったので利用には問題なし）。

• Jihye from South Korea – 18 February 2025 (7/10)

  일단 무엇보다 넓고 까끗한게 장점이였어요
  침대도 크고 많아서 가족이 5명이라 엄청 여유롭게
  각자 한침대씩 쓰면서 잤어요
  
  What could be improved: 주변에 편의점이나 마트를 가려면 좀 거리가 있어서
  오래걸으면 다리가 붓는편이라 고생을 좀 했네요
  또 방문이 미닫이형식인데 현관에서 가까운 방 문이
  잘 열리지 않더라구요 엄청 힘을줘야 열리고 닫혀서
  개선해주셨으면 좋겠어요
  방금말한 현관에서 가까운방이 난방도 좀 덜 나오고
  현관쪽이라 그런지 춥더라구요ㅠ
