Loved it! First time travelling alone to Osaka and would recommend. Very close to stations and good walking distance. Staff were friendly and the late check in time was a life saver! Great rooms too A

Hotel was sufficient for me to stay during my visit to japan. There’s a convenience store (FamilyMart) near the hotel if you want to buy some snacks for the go. But not that far from the hotel are some restaurants that offer sushi or ramen. You have two train stations, one is Dobutsuen-Mae for Osaka Metro and the other one is Shin-Imamiya for the JR-Lines. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Super close to Shinsekai, great location. Train station within 1-2 min walking distance. 35min walk from dotonburi. Staff were super friendly, room was very clean and had everything I needed. Great stay 10/10 no kitchen facilities in room but didn’t matter as they’ve got a kitchen area near the lobby which is free to use. Free coffee available from 5am - 11pm which was a lifesaver!

It's my second stay here. Both times the service and quality are consistent. Staffs are attentive and polite and the ones that served me spoke reasonable English. Considering it's a budget Inn, the size is actually better than APA at the same price range. Area is instead in the more relatively sketchy area in Japan. But compared to certain cities in North America that I have been to which are a lot worse in comparison, I was not worried at all staying at Hotel Pivot.

Overall the hotel was nice, very good if you’re traveling alone (from my experience) common amenities are offered and the staff is very friendly. The area around the hotel is not the best, not very safe either, especially at night. But other than that I would stay here again.

It is next to a train line so if you are a light sleeper, beware.

Service is good, can speak and listen in fluent English. Counter staff explain the rule of accommodation in details. But the disadvantage is room cleaning only for 3days in a week, it is inconvenient for consecutive living visitors. Also, toothbrush cannot allow for pick at lobby. No bath is provided, only shower.

The hotel is really close to the Dobutsuen-mae Osaka Metro subway station, the Shin-Imamiya JR train station, and the Shin-Imamiya-Ekimae Hankai tram station for transportation. I also like how it's close to the Shinsekai district on the other side of the train tracks. The overall vibe of the hotel was calm and laid back. The staff was very courteous. There's only one elevator, but it wasn't too busy when I used it. My room had enough space for my large luggage. I appreciated that. While I was there, the hot water cuts in and out while I used it in the shower. Other than that, my stay was enjoyable

Inexpensive as it is away from the Namba area (city centre), but the Shinsekai shopping arcade is only a 5-minute walk. Of course, other areas of Osaka can be reached by subway, and a station is present almost just at the front door. The hotel is also not far from the Shin-mamiya station on the Nankai line to get from/to Kansai Airport. I lugged two bags (on wheels) from/to that station without difficulty. Facilities in the hotel commons are minimal but quite alright for a tourist that will be exploring outside anyway. You can rent a bike too from the hotel but I had not done so during my visit. The time window in which you can request your room be cleaned is rather restrictive: only certain days of the week and before 9 am. There are kettles, irons available but you have to ask; they are not in the room. The hallways on the guest floor are winding and narrow, but the single-person room I had was spacey: the size of a normal bedroom, unlike the small single-person room at APA Hotel I got at Tenma some years ago. Air conditioning, refrigerator, and bathroom/shower were in perfect order for me. There were ample electrical sockets with USB as well. No issues with wifi. Staff was friendly and courteous. I understand Japanese so communication was not a problem for me, but I suppose you might encounter difficulty if you tried to ask for something complicated (like directions) in English.

Hotel discreto nei pressi delle torre tsutentaku, ben collegato con la metro al centro e all'aeroporto. Staff cordiale e disponibile. Camere molto essenziali, letto non molto comodo, manca di una testiera, TV molto piccolo, lavabo in camera .

飯店相當簡約，但是非常感乾淨，若需刮鬍刀需自費購買。房間聽得到火車的聲音，但是還在可接受範圍內。裡地鐵或是火車站都非常近，交通很方便。

飯店右轉50公尺或左轉100公尺各有一間全家，右邊全家對面就是JR新今宮，從關西機場搭南海電鐵在新今宮下車走一段路可抵達，距離通天閣走路不到10分鐘，雖然在西成區，但近年大阪政府有在整治，主幹道安全性基本不用太擔心，單人房小歸小，冰箱電視桌椅廁所浴室洗手台該有的都有，奇蹟九連休中的1/2-1/4入住一晚約900台幣，非常適合獨旅。
