The staff at HOTEL THE FLAG were excellent…always professional, friendly, and so helpful! Our room was nice and clean, as were the community facilities . We didn’t use the washer and dryer but it was nice to know they were available. The hotel is situated in a great location. Walkable to Dotanbori, restaurants, and shopping malls galore! I would stay here again.

My first time in japan and wow! This hotel was so cool from the automatic sliding wooden door to the rain head showers in the room. The staff were welcoming and friendly, the rooms were clean and modern(way more so than US hotels) Everything you could ever want is in walking distance, trains, stores and food! The WiFi was a strong connection, had no issues at all. 100% recommend this hotel and I am sure to return! Ōsaka was amazing and this hotel is my go to choice from here on out!

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.
