Comfort Hotel Shin-Osaka

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first walked up to the Comfort Hotel Shin-Osaka, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place. But you know what? Sometimes the unassuming spots end up surprising you. This hotel sits right in Nishinakajima, which honestly is one of those neighborhoods that grows on you once you figure out its rhythm. You’re basically a stone’s throw from Shin-Osaka Station (I mean, literally a 3-minute walk), but here’s the thing most people don’t realize – you’re also in the middle of this amazing little pocket of authentic izakayas and late-night ramen joints that the salary workers frequent after long days.

The rooms are… well, they’re compact in that very Japanese way, but actually thoughtfully designed. I stayed on the seventh floor and could hear the distant hum of the Shinkansen pulling in and out of the station – some might find it annoying, but I sort of loved the reminder that I was connected to the rest of Japan. The bed was firmer than what most Americans are used to (fair warning), but the linens were crisp and the whole place felt genuinely clean, not just surface-level tidy. What really got me was the attention to small details – like, the bathroom amenities were way better than they needed to be for this price point, and there’s this little area near the lobby where you can grab free coffee that’s actually decent. The staff speaks enough English to help you out, but honestly, their enthusiasm makes up for any language gaps.

Here’s what I wish someone had told me before I booked: the elevator gets pretty crowded during morning rush hour since business travelers are all trying to catch early trains, so factor in an extra few minutes if you’re in a hurry. Also, while you’re surrounded by great food options, the hotel’s own breakfast is pretty standard – I’d skip it and walk two blocks to this little bakery on the corner of Nishinakajima 4-chome instead. The neighborhood really comes alive at night, and I mean that in the best way – it’s not touristy chaos, just authentic Osaka energy. You’ll hear conversations spilling out of tiny bars and smell yakitori grilling on every other corner. For a 3-star hotel pulling an 8.6 rating, it’s clear they’re doing something right – it’s that rare combination of being functional, comfortable, and actually having some personality. If you’re the type who wants to experience Osaka like someone who lives there rather than just passing through, this spot gives you that base without breaking the bank.

Reviews

• Macgregor from United Kingdom – 14 June 2025 (9/10)

  Really convenient for Shin Osaka station so great for trips to Nara, Kyoto etc. Friendly staff. We found lots of restaurants nearby. The breakfast buffet was great. We would definitely stay here again.

• Rafael from Japan – 13 June 2025 (9/10)

  Great location. Clean and comfortable.

• Fox from United States – 9 June 2025 (9/10)

  Beds were actually comfortable, pillows were awful though. The breakfast was good, laundry facilities on site although they didn't dry properly so required extra drying time. Hotel is Like 5 minutes from shin-osaka train station however there was nothing to do in the area as a visitor and just 2 or so streets down seemed to be an active red district area at night so not appropriate for kids. Have I known this I would have stayed at a different area, more family friendly. Staff thought was amazing super friendly, accommodating, treat everyone like VIP's, just great service.
  
  What could be improved: The area, nothing to do and more for adults at night.

• Karen from Philippines – 9 June 2025 (9/10)

  Its near different train lines. Complimentary breakfast was also good. Rooms are good and comfortable. It is also spacious, we were able to open all our 3 luggages inside the room.
  
  What could be improved: A bit lacking in the complimentary amenities like cotton pads

• Daviann from United States – 9 June 2025 (9/10)

  The great breakfast and comfort library
  
  What could be improved: Not near anything

• Yuki from United States – 7 June 2025 (8/10)

  We had to book an extra day because our trip itinerary changed. We had to check out from the other room we were staying in but we were able to have our bags at the hotel (they have lockers for your luggage for big/small items) for your before/after check in/out. Great location, comfy rooms for your basic needs while visiting Osaka.
  
  What could be improved: nothing negative to say.

• Yuki from United States – 7 June 2025 (9/10)

  5-10min walk from Shin Osaka station (at first it was a bit confusing to figure out how to get there) but thank goodness to Google maps for telling you which exit to get out because the ramps/multiple exits make it hard to navigate at first. Friendly staff, clean room – spacious for 'business hotel' and their free breakfast was good enough to satisfy your needs (we did not use it on all the days because we wanted to try this bakery )
  Rooms were quiet (but it is next to the train tracks so you can hear it before 12am and after 6am) but we were high up so didn't bother us much. They provided fresh towels daily –
  Washer/dryers were on the 2nd floor and there were 3? or so and worked great.
  Also the location was convenient from Shin Osaka and Nishinakajima Minamikata station. (both 5-10min walk)
  
  What could be improved: Wifi was a bit weak. But other than that, good 'business hotel' for your trip to Osaka.

• Malabika from India – 7 June 2025 (9/10)

  Hospitality of the staff and cleanliness of the property.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing much, just wish there was more variety for breakfast.

• Chanatip from United States – 2 June 2025 (9/10)

  New and big property with large two bed rooms.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Serap from Turkey – 31 May 2025 (9/10)

  Staff was very friendly and the rooms are clean and big enough for me. Room has a window. Wifi was fine, breakfast was good. Always a good coffee in the coffee room.
  You will love the curtains!
  
  What could be improved: It was difficult to figure out how to open the window! Finally it gets to solve a puzzle which I am also proud.
