The staff spoke great English and were really attentive and helpful in our travel needs. Rachael gave us directions for our second part of the trip to Tokyo and mapped out the train system to get there. The trip went very smoothly because of her recommendations. The hotel location is excellent close to huge shopping mall that leads to the Dontonburi area with endless food choices. There are great restaurants surrounding the hotel area as well. The restaurants’ vibe and quality of the food were actually much better compared to the ones in Dontonburi.!We highly recommend Hotel The Flag.

This is the best hotel we’ve stayed at in Japan! We booked 5 different hotels at various cities and by far, Hotel the Flag, exceeded all our expectations. Every detail in the design, even minor one such as lighting on the door is important and relevant and well thought of. The service was exceptional and rooms are very spacious and clean. I would highly recommend this hotel to everyone who wants to experience Osaka in the most convenient and comfortable way.

Lovely clean hotel and room. Breakfast was included in our rate and was excellent, really enjoyed it each morning. Had free tea and bean to cup coffee in the lobby, filtered water and ice. Quiet room at rear of property. Suggested improvement, put the TV in the room at an angle where it can be seen. Oddly it is sited to the right of the bed in the room we were in.

Great hotel

Really enjoyed our stay at Hotel the Flag. The hotel was easy to find on at the end of a busy street in Shinsaibashi which meant it was close enough to the action but still quiet enough for a good n quiet sleep. Staff were all very welcoming and helpful. Rooms were average size for Japan but the shower was lovely. Ended up walking to Namba station for an early flight and the route was easy and safe. Really enjoyed our stay here.

The hotel is three min walk from the Shinbashi metro station. Nice and clean. There is a communal area on lobby level where you can do laundry, get yourself a cup of coffee or refill your water bottle. The hotel staff are very nice and helpful. After check out, you can also check your luggage at the hotel for a few hours. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay.

I had an absolutely fantastic stay at HOTEL THE FLAG Shinsaibashi and can’t recommend it enough! This boutique hotel is a gem in the heart of Osaka, just a 3-minute walk from Shinsaibashi Station and steps away from the vibrant Shinsaibashi Shopping Street. The location is unbeatable—perfect for exploring Dotonbori, grabbing a bowl of Ichiran ramen nearby, or shopping at places like ZARA and UNIQLO. Despite being in such a lively area, the hotel is tucked away in a quieter spot, so I enjoyed peaceful nights without any noise. The hotel’s modern, minimalist design is stunning, from the sleek lobby to the thoughtfully designed rooms. My room was spotless, cozy, and equipped with everything I needed—comfy bedding, a fridge, free WiFi, and high-end toiletries. The attention to detail in the decor made it feel both stylish and welcoming. I also loved the shared spaces, especially the library area with its unique book selection and the free coffee that rivals any café!

The staff were excellent and check in was easy. The room was a good enough size and the bed was comfortable and the AC in the room just what we needed after a long warm day.
