Where I Stayed:
Heads up, I wasn't paid or influenced by these hotels, I paid for my hotels out of pocket and did not feature them in my YouTube video on Osaka.
I just genuinely enjoyed these locations!

A reasonably priced botique hotel with an artsy feel. Soft beds and pillows, English speaking staff, and a youthful first floor with a pool table and funky bar.
Far enough from the main downtown core that is isn't noisy and hard to sleep, but located nearby a few different subway stations. It also has a dedicated taxi stand outside the front doors.
There is also a conbini right across the street, so if you don't want to pay for hotel breakfast, you can stock up on snacks there.

"My friends and I had a lot of fun retracing the locations visited in the Osaka food guide vlog. A few places visited were not as hospitable or food-safe as expected."

"The guide was very informative and covered many parts of Osaka. Not just the main tourist spots. It was well curated and designed with the "off the beaten" path traveler in mind."

"Great selection of restaurants as promised in description, but also included tips for travelling that is a huge bonus. Very descriptive for every single suggestion, it’s not just a rip off of top rate..."
