Connected to Namba station via lift to basement.

Good location. Room was big and clean, but beds and bedding were uncomfortable. Bath facilities were clean. Best part was the staff was able to hold our bags for a day before we checked in, and they held our bags after we checked out so we could shop around before leaving for the airport. They even kept our food refrigerated until we left.

The staff welcomed us by name - I found it a great welcome. Also they prepared our luggage ready for us after it was delivered from the airport. Great hospitality!

Each cable only have a shatter type door, and you have to be prepared to accept that you can hear the neighbors in the same area. Pros: - Location is excellent (very near Namba Station) - Staff can speak English and are very helpful - Overnight toiletries are FOC and available at the front desks - Facility is very clean Cons: - May need ear plugs if any of your neighbors snores

Good location

It was a quick easy check in. The amenities are great, especially the bath was perfect to end the day

First Cabin is always my go-to choice when it comes to Capsule Hotels...! To enter the property, you must take an elevator to the third floor to check in, then the floor above are the rooms. Security to the rooms are very secure, shoe lockers & under-bed storage is provided, and the space in the room is VERY adequate. It says you should check your valuables in the safe, rather than under the bed, but when I wanted my camera to be put there, the staff member at the time didn't understand the request in English, and upon collecting it, I spotted it was kept on a shelf in the backroom, and not a safe. (It is worth noting, it was kept on a towel, presumably to mitigate any damage when placing it down) The downside however was during my stay, the heat was unbearable. There was no fan, either blowing or extraction, and it was a constant heat all night. Aside from the heat, First Cabin Midousuji offers a fantastic capsule experience across Japan, and First Cabin Midousuji is no exception. I will absolutely be staying again, simply due to First Cabin remaining a fantastic and reliable choice.

The staff understood no english and just said everything asked was “impossible.” I have stayed many times at First Cabin properties, in Umeda, Osaka, and Kyoto, all were excellent. Namba staff said using the luggage delivery service such as yamato to forward bags to hotels was not possible. As a result i had to haul everything through giant stations and figure out how to get it on a train for Tokyo. Baggage fw’ing is simply a fact of modern hotel services. This facility is probably good for locals not tourists. The striving to be traditional was ok but the rules were oppressive such as needing to touch the keypad for every door along the way. Even locals always ignored some of the shoes rules and nobody checked their key in when they went out. I will never use this facility again.

As a solo female traveler, I felt comfortable and safe here. Would definitely stay again or recommend for solo female travellers. Convenient location - near the train station and central. Close to dotonbori.

The air conditioning in my room was not working, rather hot in my room. Luckily, the reception staff give me a small fan

The toiletries are supplied with good brand, they are nice to use. Everything is very clean and tidy. Love the idea in providing hair styling products (oil and curling machine) Toothbrush is too small and very very hard, i had gums bleeding. Suggest to provide one proper toothbrush for each customer, instead of replacing these cheap ones everyday, it would be more environmental friendly. Also, people pack their luggages in the room until 1130pm but no one stopped them, pretty annoying.

Good hotel , Good location

Mostly, good but in the night time I could feel tobacco smoke.

Pros: Excellent ameneties, clean, helpful staff, quiet, cheap, good location with subway at the basement level. Cons: Dehumidifier throughout so it dries you out quickly, rooms closer to smoking room will smell like cigarettes, mattress was a bit lobsided on my cabin

Very convenient. The hotel is just at Namba Exit 13. It’s very clean but the smell of cigarette is too strong on level 3.

The location is excellent, direct access to Namba subway station no. 13 to hotel lift lobby. 5 mins walk to Dotonbori and 10 mins Shinsaibashi Highly recommend if you travel on your own.

Location is very good ,overall is very satisfied , staff is friendly and the place are clean .

Great to experience this in Japan. Surprisingly very respectful and quiet considering the rooms are not locked and have what are basically paper doors. Everything you could possibly need is there and more. The shared bathrooms and showers etc are wonderfully clean. The on-site onsen is also a wonderful benefit, especially as a tourist I was one of the only people around during the day. Businessmen, their usual customer, don’t tend to be there until late evening. If you go in with the mindset of first class air travel this explains it down to a tea

1 Location is excellent it betweens Nanba and Shinsaibashi within few min 2 The space it enough and privacy suits for single trip 3 No any big windows open and air-condition is weak so air no so good 4 As a big area it share , around 10 " room" share air and easily get very noise in morning time 5 No lock any ，use magnet to "hold " door and under bed the lock are not too safe by wood

Easy access to metro and Dotonburi/Shinsaibashi shopping center. Room and the public bath are super clean. I felt safe as a single female traveler.

Location is super convenient where entrance to subway is linked to the building. There is no private shower area, might be a concern for those who are not used to ut.

Facilities and service excellent. My first cabin experience. Be under no illusions though, this is effectively a dorm room for 100 people. This is just somewhere to lay your head, nothing else. Noise is not aloud in your cabin, so relaxing in your room is suprisingly hard. Noise is your number one issue. I was surrounded by ill people coughing, sniffing, snorting, hacking constantly. Not pleasant. I did 2 nights, wouldn't do more Will suit some, but just be aware what you are getting.

This one is the best location for all access to public transportations also to shopping and eating area by foot!

Unfortunately this review will not reflect positively on the hotel. Although it said the hotel was non-smoking, there was a strong stench of stale smoke throughout the whole hotel, this may be in part to the pachinko lounge (gambling) on the lower floors. I was very disappointed as the smell of smoke is very off-putting and I struggled to breathe properly or sleep in the hotel due to the smell. The staff were ok, generally helpful and willing to fix the problems. The amenities were VERY OLD and dated, and also did not look like it had been thoroughly cleaned in a while; this may be due to the smoke that had been accumulated over the years. I opted for the breakfast option; but was unfortunately disappointed with the food offered. While they do offer an 'airport experience' the food is not one I want to experience. This brings me to my final point; while it is right beside Dotonbori (main food/shopping attraction of Osaka) the price nowhere near suits the condition and quality of the amenities offered. I paid $160NZD for a 'First-Class cabin' (Unit 642) which did not have working air conditioning inside, feel free to check the unit yourself. On average in Osaka, I was paying $50NZD at a hostel that provided a better atmosphere and amenities, while still in reasonable distance to Dotonbori. I thoroughly recommend that First Cabin Midosuji-Namba renovate the hotel completely to get rid of the smells & fix their services for me to recommend to stay in them.

Very good after all .close to shopping mall ,subways.nice room,working peoples are so kind

Location is good. Hotel lift can go direct to red line subway at exit 13. Breakfast buffet is good too. Service is good. They provide what u need more than a hotel. The Onsen spa is great. I will stay here again
