Still the best place to stay in Osaka, my 6th or 7th stay in 6 years now. Off the chain value. I cannot believe this place used to do rooms in the low $100's cdn, per night. The service is fantastically attentive and helpful without being stuff or intrusive. Location is the best in Osaka, and specifically Namba. A 8 minute walk to Dotonbori, so right in the heart of the action, but far enough to be away from the unwanted chaos, foot traffic and noise. I might be Hotel the Flag's biggest fan. I have gotten my two travel buddies to make the Flag their frequent go to hotel as well. I will be back in the Spring or by fall/winter of 2026 at the latest.

Spacious family room with two proper double beds and plenty of play space for our kids. Huge bathroom with deep tub and separate shower – a rarity in Japan. Laundry was a lifesaver: 4 washers + 4 fast, efficient dryers (never waited once). Breakfast was excellent, great pastries and fruit. Kids ate happily every day. Perfect location: 3-minute walk to Shinsaibashi station and a covered arcade straight to Namba – easy with little ones, rain or shine. Clean, quiet, super kid-friendly staff. Hands-down our favorite Osaka hotel for families. Already planning to return!

The Flag is truly exceptional. Its proximity to Dotonbori and a subway station is highly convenient, and the surrounding neighborhood offers a vibrant atmosphere with excellent shops and restaurants. The hotel itself is particularly noteworthy, featuring comfortable rooms, spacious bathrooms, and an aesthetically pleasing design. Complimentary coffee, water, and amenities are also provided. Furthermore, the staff demonstrated outstanding service throughout our entire stay. We are quite sad to depart, and we wholeheartedly recommend this establishment when visiting Osaka.

It was a great hotel, even if the room was small, the set up was amazing. The shower in the bathroom was incredible! Staff was friendly, and even though the area outside had a lot of nightlife, there was good security to get into the building. My only complaint about the hotel would be that because of the heavy night life, we could hear music at 4am, and it would be a struggle sleeping.
