Where to stay in Osaka ?

[NanoSpeed]

I plan to travel to Osaka for the first time ?

Can anyone advise me which area in Osaka is the "Shinjuku" of Osaka ?

I stay few MRT stops away at Minami...cheaper n less crowded

Go to Super Nintendo World of Universal Studios.

Just stay somewhere near this unique Donki building next to a river.

Nearest hotel is Holiday Inn Osaka Namba, but there are other options a little further.

I want to stay in a place that is easy for me to travel to and fro airport, preferably airport shuttle bus instead of squeezing in a train.
