2 English-speaking travelers with limited Japanese abilities and 4 large check-in suitcases arrived in Namba hoping to find someplace for the night. Thankfully, through Expedia, WELLSTAY Namba had a room available with 2 bunk beds at an affordable price. It was a great find!
The lobby was cozy and warm the chilly, late November night we arrived. It was decorated with colorful art on the walls. There was free wifi, a vending machine, a wall lined with chairs at a long table furnished with electrical sockets for charging devices, a bathroom, various benches/ couches and comfy chairs to sit in, and a drink machine available to customers until 10pm (hot and cold corn drink, coffee, cocoa, tea, anyone?). The staff kindly and swiftly checked us in and provided instructions on the features of the stay and the simple check out procedure (leave your receipt in the check out box near the elevator).
The room was clean. The 2 bunk beds were against one wall and the hallway from the door entrance, the tv, sink, mirror, and low sitting shelves on the opposite wall. In the hallway was the doorway to the bathroom with a bidet equipped toilet and a walk-in shower with nice smelling shampoo, conditioner, and body soap bottles. The bathroom door must be closed to prevent tripping alarms.The room had wifi, a tv, and had clean dishes and drink glasses for use by room guests in a drawer under the counter, and a little device for boiling hot water.
