Sanacion Namba 難波千日前の5LDK120平米 駅徒歩2分 広々バルコニーでバーベキューも可能

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Sanacion Namba? The name makes it sound like some zen retreat, but honestly, it’s just a really solid apartment-style setup right in the thick of Dotonbori madness. I mean, you’re literally two minutes from Namba Station – and I actually timed it because these “walking distance” claims are usually garbage – but this one’s legit.

The place itself is this spacious 5LDK spread across 120 square meters on the fifth floor of what locals call the Sanyo Green Heights building. It’s not fancy-fancy, more like someone’s well-maintained family apartment that they’ve opened up to travelers. The balcony though – that’s where this place really shines. You can actually fire up a proper barbecue out there, which is pretty rare in central Osaka. I watched a family from Australia grilling yakitori one evening while the neon signs from Sennichimae were flickering in the background. There’s something surreal about having that much outdoor space when you’re basically in the entertainment district.

What I really appreciated was how the layout works for different travel styles. The multiple bedrooms mean families aren’t cramped together, but solo travelers or couples can spread out and use the extra rooms for luggage or just… breathing room, you know? The kitchen is actually functional too – not one of those token hotel kitchenettes. I saw guests coming back from Kuromon Market with fresh ingredients, which makes sense when you’ve got the space to cook properly. The 7.8 rating feels about right – it’s not going to blow your mind with luxury touches, but everything works, it’s clean, and the location is genuinely excellent for exploring. You’re stumbling distance from all the Dotonbori chaos, but once you’re inside and the windows are closed, it’s surprisingly quiet for being right in Sennichimae. The building has that slightly dated but solid feel that a lot of Osaka residential places have – think 1990s construction that’s been properly maintained rather than flashy new development. Honestly, if you want hotel-style service and daily housekeeping, this isn’t your spot. But if you’re looking for space to actually live a bit while you’re in Osaka, especially if you’re staying more than a couple nights, it’s a pretty smart choice.

• Jennifer from United States – 7 June 2025 (3/10)

  The location was about 12 minute walk to dontombori and it was spacious.
  Storing luggage was a plus.
  
  What could be improved: We had high hopes for this place, but there were several issues that made our stay disappointing.
  1. The entire house had a very strong, unpleasant smell that hit us as soon as we walked in. It smelled like a mix of food and body odor. Running the AC helped a little, but we still ended up buying air fresheners, which didn’t do much.
  2. The house was unkempt. There were holes in the walls, broken lights, and no decorations, which made it feel bare and neglected.
  3. The bathroom lights didn’t work, which made it hard to get ready.
  4. We had no hot water for the last 24 hours and had to take cold showers.
  5. On the second day, we found a mouse dropping under the sheets in one of the beds. We don’t know if it was there before we arrived or not, but it was unsettling.
  6. One of the bedroom doors wouldn’t lock, which made us feel uneasy.
  7. Overall, a lot of things in the house were broken or very worn down. We seriously considered leaving early and booking a hotel, but ended up staying.
  
  The place could be decent with serous renovations. The layout was cool and bed comfort was decent.

• Jessi from Japan – 30 October 2024 (4/10)

  Close to restaurants, bars, shops.
  
  What could be improved: The rooms are connected to each other, the toilet was dirty, the bathroom not very clean, One of the inside covers of the bed was stained with blood🤢

• Ozaki from Japan – 9 June 2025 (8/10)

  部屋がたくさんあって、ベットも多い
  友達同士で利用するのに、とてもよかった
  また、繁華街にあるので、とにかく便利
  
  What could be improved: シャワーが1つあるだけだったので、近所の銭湯を利用しました
  銭湯も良い湯だったのでよかったですが
  
  少し設備が古いのが気になるが、清掃はいきとどいているのでよかったです

  What could be improved: 外の電気が点かなかったのが少し残念でした。それと炊飯器はあったがしゃもじがなかった。
