Hotel Diamond

I have stopped there many times before. The back part has been remodeled recently. New mattresses, cuvets, ... . The dogs in the backyard are still there. I love the place, a bit Spartan-type, fully corresponding to the description, though.

Hotel Diamond is my home away from home. This was my 4th visit to Japan and I usually stay about a month. This is an excellent budget hotel with above average staff. The staff work hard and I believe they do not have a big turn around with their workers, so they must have a pretty respectful work place. The foreigners unfortunately bring their own disrespectful ways. Example: The smoking area is not the whole hotel as some guests assume though "No smoking" signs posted. Guests with children seem to leave their children in the lounge to go shopping without children....Please tend to your own children sign was once needed but not posted. The Japanese live a simple life. This is a Japanese style hotel for those on a budget. I am from USA

It was hard to book the time I needed before I left LA for Osaka. I did get that straightened out with hotel when I got there, as every 6 months I visit and stay a month.

It is a gem situated in proximity to a happening area within Osaka. The metro is right next door, but so much can be accessed on foot. There is a great strip of karaoke bars nearby. Den den town is a 20 minute walk up the road. To conclude, it is absolute bang for your buck if you are on a budget while in Osaka.

For the money, you can't complain. Shared bathrooms are not for everyone, but they are cleaned daily. In our particular room, there were no curtains, and the light pollution from outside made it difficult to get to sleep.

A private room for this price is very reasonable, even if it is very small. The room is quite comfortable and has a futon inside, it is quite clean. The hotel is in a good location, accessible both by metro and JR stations, so it's good if you have the JR pass. There is friendly staff, and you can buy soap, towel, razor etc.

The shower is only on the ground floor, and rooms are up to the 7th, and also it is not locked - there is no private shower. There is also a deposit charge of 1000 yen when paying, which is paid back at checkout - not an issue, just worth knowing.

the room is clean. staff r kind. very affordable price/night

wifi only available in the lounge. not in every room there is smell space between the main building to the elevator for new building . idk where it’s come from but it’s quite uncomfortable when walking through to elevator

Good check-in hours. I repeatedly live in this facility and I like it. It is very modest, but that is exactly what the photos say. No surprises. Possibility to borrow a bike. One minute from subway, 5 minutes from Shin Imamiya Osaka Loop line station. 40-50 minutes from hotel to the Kyoto station.

It did exactly what I expected: CHEAP place to crash. Nice futon. No frills at all. Yes it's dodgy, but you get what you pay for. I will sleep here every time in Osaka. Can't beat 1000 yen. Toothbrushes on sale for 10 yen!

excellent location, very short walk to both JR lines and the subway. good food everywhere, the kindest staff ever,

couldn’t figure out the hot water but we also didn’t try very hard

Good value. Private rooms.

A little bit dreary and dingy. Very budget. You get what you pay for

It was a private room and very cheap with functioning AC. It was also walking distance from many places.

It could have been a bit cleaner
