Hotel Lucky

First, I would like to say thank you to the woman at the front desk who spoke perfect English. Not only was she kind as other reviewers said, but she had really positive energy (not faked as often seen in hotels, especially luxury ones) and that really started things off well. The hotel is a mix of Japanese ryokan (private room, shared bath etc) and western styled business hotel, catering to the budget minded or those who need a simple place to stay. Many places similar are very lax in terms of keeping things up, but this place is very clean and I can see they are doing a very good job. Additionally, the shared spaces are clean as well, a reflection also of the guests who respectfully use the property (as compared to some places which a bit of a mess because people do not know how to behave) The room itself is small, fitting a tatami and a little extra space. But it has a little refrigerator, a nice and unexpected touch. The walls and tatami floors are not amazingly clean and show a little wear from age, but as said before, this place keeps a good close eye on maintaining cleanliness. There are only three showers in the whole facility, but I used them twice and never had to wait. There is a men’s only shared sento tub that is available only certain times, but I was unable to use it in time. When I tried right before it closed, there was a slightly fat fellow in there and two of us would have been a snug fit, ha ha. I let him enjoy his solo time. I would also like to add that I found the hotel slippers (green with the “hotel lucky” logo) are nostalgic retro and super cute. I really loved them. And the price of 2000 yen for a night, what more do I have to say except…amazing, thank you, and I will come back here 200 percent when I pass through again.

The staff was very friendly and transparent with the rules and costs. The rooms were comfortable and the location was very close to major stations in Osaka. Overall it was very clean and a good value for the price.

Staff was super helpful and friendly. When they noticed I had a little trouble sleeping on the Futon, they immediately replaced it with a thicker one without me having to even ask. Has a Japanese style bath for guests to use. Very relaxing after a day of travelling. Rooms, showers, bathrooms all clean and functional. Rooms come with fridge so you can keep snacks, bento, drinks fresh for use. (You can reheat using the microwave in the lobby.) Conveniently located for shopping, going out, quick connection to Limited Express stations, Shinkansen station and Kansai airport. Very good if your intention is to explore the wider area on a tourist rail pass as I did. Price is unbeatable.

For its price, it's pretty good! Good facilities. The staff are very nice. You can even rent a bike for 500 yen.

I found it very nice. It is close to the metro station, so you can access everything easily. You can also walk to some of the tourist spots. The room was clean, and if you stay on a long period your room will be clean once a week. The common areas were also clean. And the people working there are very nice and will help you if you need something.
