I particularly chose the Mikado for being good value for money and there's a hot bath and sauna downstairs. They have specific hours for men and women use, but it worked for me. I stayed in a traditional Japanese futon bedroom for first four nights of my stay and a standard single bedroom for the last two nights. Rooms are very small, but still have a refrigerator and work desk and room for a large suitcase. It was comfortable and all I needed. Wash facilities and toilets are in each floor, but I used the sauna area showers every morning. There is a communal kitchen downstairs by reception, tea and coffee available all day. Bathrobes, slippers and the usual amenities are available free of extra charge. Staff are very helpful and speak English and the hotel is well located close to Dotubusuen-Mae metro and Shin-Imamiya train station is a few minutes walk. There are plenty of nice cafes and places to eat by the hotel and karaoke bars seem to be popular in the area. The only criticism I had was that the basins in the onsen/spa changing area were taped off and needed fixing which didn't look good and there was quite a bit of dust in the rooms along the clothes hanging area which I cleaned. Besides a few minor issues, the hotel is ideal for budget travellers and I really enjoyed the sauna relaxing every morning and some evenings, I would definitely stay here again.

There is a very small earwig crawling around in my room
Amazing location, stone's throw away from 2 train lines (just a stop away from Namba), 2 subway lines and a tram line (which isn't very useful). Shinsekai is just across the street where you can find food, there is also a Don Quijote Mega which operates nearly round the clock). My main complains are the room design isn't optimised, making the already small room even smaller and walls are really thin (I could hear my neighbour snoring).
