When I booked a room with a shared bathroom I wasn't expecting for the bathroom to be very good, but it was incredibly nice. There are also sinks in the rooms, minimizing the need to use the shared bathroom. Breakfast also exceeded expectations—I tried five out of the seven options on the menu and they were all really delicious. I am honestly shocked that they were included in the already extremely reasonable price. The beds were also super comfortable and the staff was incredibly nice and helpful.

There were only a couple of things I would change. The location is pretty far from tourist areas and not super close to a metro station (about a 7 minute walk, not terrible). It's a bit hard to get to from the airport—I would recommend not transferring trains because the stations often don't have escalators for luggage. A taxi from Tennoji station works better. And then I struggled with keeping my room from getting too warm, but that might just be because I couldn't figure out the thermostat.

The staff were SO kind and helpful. The accommodation was so thoughtfully furnished, warm, clean, comfortable. The cafe underneath was fantastic for breakfast and coffees. Accommodation was very easy to get to via train. We loved it there so much and have recommended it to family and friends. Would definitely stay again!

Nothing!

Lovely, stylish hotel on river near Osaka Castle. Really comfortable with friendly and helpful staff. Served great coffee in the bar/ cafe area in foyer and great breakfast choice. Stayed in twin bunk room which had plenty of space including sofa area (rare find based on previous hotels) and shared bathroom facilities which were excellent and spotless - always toilets and showers to use. In a quieter location which suited us but only short walk and tube ride from the main centre and Dotonburi area. Great coffee shops and bagel store nearby as well as restaurants. Cant recommend this hotel highly enough, superb and great value.

Nothing to dislike - you wont go wrong!

I booked Noum again for 4 nights because it is so great. The staff are so helpful and really lovely. Excellent breakfast (I had the big breakfast one morning and the salmon on the other three), Decius coffee and cake, centrally located with a short walk to Temmabashi Station and local restaurants and coffee shops if you don’t want to go far, rooms are a good size and the mattress is fantastic, solid amenities on Level 5 (washer/dryer/microwave/filtered water/fridge). My room was on the second floor with shared bathroom and shower facilities. Always clean, great products.

There isn’t anything I didn’t like.

I loved the location and proximity to the river, made for really nice walks in the morning or evenings when I go back to the hotel. The coffee on the ground floor was also good. The staff were all really friendly and lovely, super helpful and attentive. When another guest arrived too early for check-in and asked to wait at one of the cafe tables, they served them water while they waited. The hotel was really nicely designed, too. While the rooms were small, they were very comfortable and cosy. For such a small room and space the hotel has, the bathrooms were actually very large in comparison, and larger than some 4 or 5-star hotels I've stayed at in Japan (baths are overrated, I appreciated the functional and no-fuss shower a lot). The toiletries also felt very luxurious! Thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

The amenities (washer / dryer) but also cold / hot water, were all on 1 floor. I did wish I had a kettle in the room, but understand due to the room size it might have become too cluttered.

I loved staying here and can recommend it to everyone! The room is very comfortable and cozy. Even the mattress was amazing to sleep on. I had a room with a shared bathroom concept and was surprised how clean and easy it was to use. To top it off the rooftop has an amazing view and terrace to do yoga on or just hang out (Yoga Mat available at the hotel). The staff was very nice and helpful, also almost everyone spoke English very well! The 5th floor has a room with laundry, fridge, microwave, water dispenser and lots of other things that makes your stay easier.

Nothing :)

From the first moment the staff was exceptionally attentive, friendly and helpful. As I was pregnant I asked for a calm room and we got a wonderful room with partial river view (although we booked the cheapest category). The bathroom is so chic and the toiletries are luxurious! We loved the breakfast, I ordered the grilled salmon everyday ;-) We appreciated the location a lot - away from the crowds of Dotonbori (but still only a short ride with the metro) and close to the Castle with its beautiful blooming plum trees and Nakazachiko area with cosy little cafes. We didn’t like the touristy areas and were happy to rather chill in the neighbourhood of the Noum Hotel.

The double bed was quite tight for my tall husband and me, but if you don’t mind cuddling it’s fine :)

This is a gem of a place. The receptionist stayed up late to check me in as my flight was delayed, and throughout my stay I was always greeted with a friendly face. The café downstairs is cozy and the brunch is amazing (though a bit expensive). The corner room I had was beautiful, with view to the river. The shared bathroom seemed new, always clean and of good quality (loved the shower). Most of all, I enjoyed the little details such as tasteful flowers, a list of recommendations what to do in the area, clear instructions on facilities. Finally the area is really nice, full of small, stylish and unique restaurants, bars and cafés (Japanese, European, Mexican etc). I loved being close to the water, too. Overall, a perfect stay. Thanks!

Beautiful boutique hotel, the staff are amazing, speak great English and so friendly ,the breakfast 5 star. The room is tastefully done. Was plenty of room for a solo traveler. They got me an extra pillow no issues . The shared bathroom and toilets are immaculate and not inconvenient. There is on 5th floor microwave, fridge and hot cold water . If you want central Osaka this is not for you but I loved the quietness away from the hustle bustle . It’s a 10 minute walk to train station so easy to get to main part . Lots of 7/11 , Lawson and family mart nearby. Large shopping mall with lots of eateries across the bridge . Cute cafes nearby

Great location on the river, easy walking distance to Osaka Castle and Tammabashi subway station. Excellent breakfast included in the room price. The staff were exceptionally friendly and went out if their way to help us, including modifying the vegan breakfast offer to match our daughter’s dietary restrictions and recommending and also booking a restaurant on our behalf, specifying our daughter’s dietary restrictions, to make the translation a bit easier on arrival at the restaurant.

Minimal sound proofing in the rooms (e.g. we could hear the alarm clock ring from the next room and people talking in the corridors when inside our room).
