Hotel Diamond

Star ratings are based on Klook's overview of the property's information (such as services and facilities included, etc.), and are for reference only

If you love a cold concrete slab you'll be in heaven, just if you can manage to not need wifi unless you enjoy the locals smoke area and can get the job done in a quick manner before you join them. At least the washrooms are kept up and are mostly modern models

You get what you are paying for. But it has everything you need. My only issue is that there was creepy men sitting at women only shower doors, i didnt feel comfortable showering. Men have a massive area for showering and bathing, women have a 2x2m (for 2 women) area for showering only. If im paying the same as men, id assume i got access to the same quality of facilities as them, or i should not have to pay as much!

The staff was very polite and welcoming and made the transition smooth and easy. The prices were good and the location is close to a lot of entertainment, food, and shopping. Good experience over all

1.5 Stars is incorrect about Hotel Diamond. It deserves 2 Stars. It is easy (but not fast) to access from KIX, steps away from the Osaka subway system, and in an area with grocery and convenience stores within 5 min walk. For a budget option, 2 Stars; well deserved.

Cheap and very basic. Hotel and bedding not clean. In a bit of a dodgy area, but close to train stations.

Extremely basic accommodations. Smelly toilet. But an extremely good price for a private room.

toilet very dirty

I was here two nights before move to another hotel as there was no room type available. When I return the next day. I supposed to come depositing my luggage before start my day. I have as for the same room, but was not available. The man at reception has given me the room on the same floor and allow me to check in. Wasn’t it a nice gesture to give to a returning guest. I will definitely stay at Hotel Diamond again when I visit Osaka.

What should you expect for what you pay as long as it is clean, safe and near one of the main train station

I got the hotel as part of the bundle through Expedia, but did not stay overnight since I was staying with my GF's family. However, I did check-in into the Hotel and looked at the room. The room is very small and is barely bigger than the size of the futon/bed. However, if all you're looking for is a place to sleep, I guess this might be ok. Weird quirks of the hotel include the light switch for the room being outside in the hallway, so if you want to turn on or off the light, you need to step outside and reach around the door. However, please note that Shin-Imamiya, where the hotel is located, is a poor, rougher area of Osaka. As long as you're near the station, its probably safe, but my GF and her family told me to be careful of my surroundings. I'm pretty sure that a lot of people staying there are actually living there, as it is roughly $8 a night. The vending machines near the hotel also extremely discounted (50 yen for a normally 150 yen drink), presumably to help the blue collar workers living there. That being said, the hotel staff was very friendly and they had a cute dog in their office.
