Good for a night

This place is just okay if you need somewhere to stay for a night. Staff was very nice and responsive to all our questions. The two older ladies who own the place don't speak English, but if you have questions make sure to ask the older gentleman. The room is clean and comfortable, if a little dark. The futons were nice and squishy. I was surprised there was no drinking water in the room. Also, they call it a ryokan, but I didn't see anything about meals on offer. We didn't try the public baths, so I can't speak to that. The location is not super convenient. It's actually quite a walk to Dotonbori and there weren't any cabs around. The area around the hotel is mostly host bars and apartments, parking. Cheaper than most western-style hotels in Osaka. There was nothing really bad about the place, but I probably wouldn't stay here again.

Good location but needs updating

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Very reasonably priced for its great location. However, hotel itself is dated and needs updating. Carpets are old and smells of smoke. Sheets have been washed so thin that there are tiny holes. I would recommend this hotel if it can spend a little money to replace the old/dated hardware.

Only two blocks away from the shopping district!

As we entered we were assisted by a lovely gentlemen at the front desk. Unfortunately I made the mistake of booking for one instead of two but thankfully there was a room available and he was happy to accommodate us. A lady then showed us to our rooms and explained all the facilities and amenities available to us. All other staff members we encountered during our stay were extremely friendly and helpful!

Needs renovation

We have stayed in Osaka before, but usually in a business hotel closer. This time we decided to go for a traditional ryokan. Although the staff was very friendly and overall looks and feel of the hotel was OK, I must say that is is long due a renovation. The walls and paper dividers in our room had stains from years of use, and the electricity sockets were flashing and coming out unless you held it with your hand. (not very safe) The bathroom is a standard Japanese size, but it looks like something from the 70s. Same for the reception area and elevator. The area is very close to Dotombori and shopping streets, but the hotels immediate neighborhood is mainly where the Chinese and Korean small businesses are to be found, and is a bit rough.

Nice Ryokan

We are a group with 7 family members, booked a 5-bed and a 2-bed room for 6 nights' stay. Hotel Kuramoto is a nice hotel with tatami, similar to a traditional Japanese ryokan. Large tables available inside the room so we could chat & have snacks around the table. Perfect for those travelled with family members. Traditional Japanese hot bath available free of charge in the hotel but it was a pity that we did not have time to enjoy it. Hotel staff were nice and helpful, despite the fact that we requested to return to the hotel room while staff were cleaning up the room in the afternoon. The room cleanliness is just OK, and the hotel is rather old. However, the room is quite spacious compared with standard Japanese hotels. Also, the location is quite good, just 5-10 minutes to Dotonbori, Kuromon Ichiba Market and Nipponbashi metro station.

Comfortable hotel right next to Dotonbori!

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful! The old man there directed us to a very cheap laundromat just down the street and a few other places. Traditional Japanese style living with lots of lounge space. Was a little sore from sleeping on the floor as the beds are a bit thin. Conveniently within 5 mins walk to Dotonbori!

Family run ryokan-style hotel

First of all, the building is kinda old. It's a family run business, hosts are friendly and helpful. It's not difficult to find the hotel and it's pretty close to the Dotonburi etc. Vending machines are literally everywhere. Room size was good, free green tea and some snacks are provided in the room. There is also public bath available on the ground floor. However, we went during Spring season and out of the four of us, two got bitten by some unknown bugs. Unfortunately one of the two reacted to the bites quite badly as she is allergic to the bites. Advice for you is to get a proper repellent in case similar thing happens, other than that it's actually a nice big room with traditional tatami and futon.

Osaka stay

Loved Hotel Kuramoto. Wanted an authentic, Japanese experience when we arrived. Didnt want the same old hotel to stay in. You could be anywhere in the world - boring. Brilliant room. Tatami, futons on the floor - BEST sleep ever. The room was warm for us on our return each night from all our sight seeing. Many thanks. Excellent location. Short walking distance to Dotinbori - fabulous street of food, culture, shopping & fun. Subway so so so close as well. Loved our stay. Will recommend & return.

kind of dumpy

A rather odd hotel. Fells like a 60s or 70s vintage rundown ryokan that one would find in a not very popular onsen area in the boonies -- strange to have something like this in the middle of the city. Proprietors not particularly friendly, and there is no breakfast. Bath not hot enough. My room was clean and had new tatami but overall the place was rather worn and tired.
