Looking for an affordable, central stay in Osaka? First Cabin Midosuji Namba offers solo travelers incredible value with its Namba Station connection and cozy cabins.

While preparing for my Osaka trip,
one of the biggest things I thought about was definitely accommodation!
Hotel prices in Japan can be quite high,

and since this Osaka trip was a solo adventure,
I really wanted to find a budget-friendly place.
So, I compared several capsule hotels.

That's when I found a place with many reviews praising its great location,
a large communal bath, and individual luggage storage.
The place I booked with my own money was
First Cabin Midosuji Namba.
It's directly connected to Namba Station Exit 13,
so if you're looking for value-for-money accommodation right in the heart of Namba,
this is definitely a place worth considering.
With access to your cabin space, a shared lounge, and a large communal bath,
it truly feels like the perfect spot for solo travelers.
First Cabin Midosuji Namba Location

The biggest advantage of First Cabin Midosuji Namba is its
location!
Namba Station's Exit 13 is directly connected to the building's basement,
making it super easy to get around, even with luggage or on a rainy day.

From the hotel, Dotonbori and the Glico Running Man are just a 5-minute walk away.
It's also close to Nipponbashi, which made exploring incredibly convenient.

There were tons of amazing restaurants nearby, and being right by the station on a main street,
I felt safe even walking around late at night because there were always people around.
The location alone made me incredibly happy.
First Cabin Midosuji Namba Price

One thing I was worried about when planning my trip to Japan
was the hotel prices.
While capsule hotel prices vary depending on the area and season,
they often hovered around ~$35.
I booked for 3 nights and 4 days, from Sunday to Wednesday, for approximately ~$104.
This worked out to ~$35 per night.
Considering its central Namba location,
it's definitely great value for money.
Japanese capsule hotels are more affordable than regular hotels, offering essential facilities, making them a popular choice for solo travelers.
For solo travelers like me, looking for great value, it was absolutely perfect!
First Cabin Midosuji Namba Check-in & Lobby
Female and male cabins are separated.
The female-only cabins tend to sell out faster than the male cabins,
so I recommend booking early if you're a female traveler.

First Cabin Midosuji Namba occupies the 3rd and 4th floors.
The 3rd floor houses the check-in lobby, the large communal bath, and some cabins.
The 4th floor was entirely cabins.

If you go right past the Otani sign, you'll find the hotel lobby.

You check in on the 3rd floor.
You pay the accommodation tax during check-in, and both cash and card are accepted.
There are self-check-in machines,
and also a staffed desk,
so it's not difficult at all.


After checking in, they'll give you a key card for your cabin
and explain the important guidelines.


Next to the front desk, there's an amenity bar with toothbrushes, slippers, razors, combs, and other items you can take freely as needed.
One towel is provided daily, and you just show your key card at the lobby to pick it up.

The lobby has a common lounge area,
where you can bring in outside food to eat,
or even get some laptop work done.


There's also a microwave and a coffee machine,

and the hotel even sold some simple snacks and drinks.
First Cabin Midosuji Namba Rooms

Before entering the room area, you change into slippers,
and store your shoes separately in a shoe locker.

Overall, it felt very clean and hygienic,
and well-maintained.




In the common area, there's a phone booth and a massage chair vending machine.

You can enter your room with a key card.

Rooms are located on both sides.
The room entrances are designed with curtains instead of doors.
While it's not perfectly soundproof, the atmosphere is quiet,
so everyone tries to be as quiet as possible.

I really liked that the space was more generous than a typical capsule hotel.

For ~$35 a night, it comes with a bed, a table, space to open your luggage,
and even a full-length mirror plus hangers.

There was also a locker under the bed for storing valuables.

Pajamas and towels are provided in the room.
It was so convenient not having to bring my own pajamas.
The high ceiling was also a plus, preventing any cramped feelings.
This means even first-time capsule hotel users can enjoy their stay without much discomfort.
Large Public Bath Review
One of the most satisfying facilities at this capsule hotel was undoubtedly
the large public bath.

Located on the 3rd floor, just like the lobby,
you can grab your pajamas and towels from your room and head straight there.


The 3rd and 4th floors are connected by stairs within the room area,
allowing easy access.
Inside the large public bath, there's a spacious hot tub,
perfect for unwinding and relieving all the travel fatigue
after a long day of exploring.
The facilities also felt very cleanly managed.

There are also individual shower stalls available.
The shower areas are equipped with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.

In the powder room, you'll find hairdryers, cotton swabs, and more.
