– UMI-Haven 福島 – 隣駅5LDK戸建

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about UMI-Haven? The name had me expecting some beachside retreat, but this place is actually tucked away in a quiet residential corner of Yoshino – and honestly, that turned out to be way better than I anticipated. It’s one of those 5LDK standalone houses that’s been converted into guest accommodation, which means you’re basically living like a local for a few days instead of being stuck in some cookie-cutter hotel room.

The whole setup feels more like crashing at a well-organized friend’s place than staying at a typical 3-star spot. I mean, you’ve got a proper kitchen where you can actually cook (not just reheat convenience store onigiri), separate living areas where you can spread out without tripping over your luggage, and enough space that you don’t feel like you’re living on top of each other if you’re traveling with family or friends. The 8.8 rating makes total sense once you settle in – it’s not luxury by any stretch, but everything just works the way it should. The Wi-Fi doesn’t cut out every five minutes, the shower has decent water pressure, and the beds are firm enough that you won’t wake up feeling like you slept on a marshmallow.

What really sold me on the area was how genuinely residential it feels. You’re walking past local shops where the owners actually remember your face after a couple days, and there’s this little convenience store about two blocks away that stays open late – which saved me more than once when I realized I’d forgotten to grab breakfast stuff. The train connections are solid too, though you’ll want to check the last train times if you’re planning late nights in the city center. Parking was surprisingly easy to figure out, which is saying something for Osaka. I actually found myself looking forward to coming back here each evening instead of just using it as a place to crash, which doesn’t happen that often when I’m traveling. It’s the kind of spot where you might find yourself making coffee in the morning and thinking, “Yeah, I could live here for a while.”

Reviews

• Louanna from Australia – 2 February 2025 (9/10)

  Location Such a. Great location. 2 min walk from Noda station on the osaka loop. No tourists in sight! Great locals quality yummy and cheaper restaurants and cafes and shops we also found some really great cheap massage.
  Beautifully renovated.
  Ground floor, Brand new bath shower and large change room cloak room and entrance.
  1st floor newly renovated kitchen fully renovated. Just no tea and coffee so bring own. Lovely little Japanese style pathway area to a Tanami mat lounge with a serving door.
  2nd floor a queen bed in bedroom, two more bedrooms separated with sliding doors. Very comfy double beds and single. Great comfy latex pillows.
  3rd floor more comfy beds.
  Verandah and a steep risky staircase to a rooftop.
  I will stay here every time I go to Osaka. Convient location. Next to both osaka loop and metro and one other connecting station.
  Could sleep 14 I think.
  Checking was easy just walk 2 mins and open padlock containing front door key. Simple and easy.

  엄청 깨끗하고 시설도 필요한게 다있었어요
  침구류도 너무 깨끗합니다~
  전자렌지, 그릇 등등
  
  층이 나뉘어있어서 생활하기 더 좋았고
  집안 구석구석 센스있는 장소들이 많아요
  역근처라 여행다니기 좋고
  집주변이 조용합니다~
  
  What could be improved: 계단이 좁고 많아서 여행 후 피곤할때는
  계단이 부담스러울 수 있어요

• Tsubasa from Japan – 20 March 2025 (9/10)

  駅が近かった。料金が安かった。
  
  What could be improved: 初日にトイレが詰まり使用できなくなった。隣の家との間隔が近い。

• Kazue from Japan – 21 October 2024 (5/10)

  大人5名で宿泊するには充分な部屋数と広さでした。駅にも近く、コンビニや飲食店も徒歩圏内にたくさんあり、快適でした。
  
  What could be improved: 他の方が部屋(家)を間違って既にチェックインしていたというハプニングがあり、貸主さんに連絡しても日本語がよく話せなかったりとトラブル解消まで時間がかかりました。
  部屋の匂い(1階)が気になりました。

• Ting from Taiwan – 2 July 2024 (6/10)

  位置很好、空間很大
  但這是外包給管理公司的民宿，詳細故事請參考下方「不滿意的地方」。
  
  What could be improved: 首先，床睡了會很癢。為什麼我會知道沒有打掃乾淨呢？原因如下：
  
  因為客服人員很有問題。第一天，我們在經過客服人員同意後，我帶著爸媽到現場放行李，結果我們竟然當場發現尚未打掃的房間、以及上個房客留下來的女性內褲。一樓大廳甚至還有上一個房客留下來的行李、垃圾。
  
  而當我們呆坐在原地，不小心巧遇上一個房客，沒想到還聽見他們說：是「客服人員同意他們把行李放到下午的」。
  
  「那我們的權益就沒有人在乎了嗎？」我心裡就是這樣想的。但因為爸媽在場，所以就放任他們離開了。
  
  如果沒有馬上將現場照片拍照給客服人員，事後會不會造成糾紛呢？
  
  也因此，我們才知道整棟房子的打掃速度有多麽快。1600才來打掃，1730就說我們可以入住了，這也難怪睡了會全身癢。
  
  以上就是這次的真實故事，真令人印象深刻。
