A really nice ryokan style hotel, very close to Doutonbori Street
This property is a great choice to stay in Osaka as the value for money is excellent. We highly appreciated the free access to the public hot bath and above all the kindness of all the staff!
Excellent and friendly staff. Made the luggage tranfer to tokyo easy. Loved the ambience and feel. Thank you.

Nice reception Able to store luggage until check in at 1600. Great room. Also used the onsen Great water. It is a bit dated, although this shows you how it should be. Great stay
If you like old-fashioned style, it is really good choice. Also location of this hotel is good. Clearance service was good, too. The only on what I was disappointed was hours of use for public bath. Public bath is forbidden from 8 ~ 9 pm.
Hotel is located in a quiet area but still close to all main attractions. Room was clean and big enough for two people. It even had a table and two chairs. The ryokan was comfortable to sleep on surprisingly. Check in was very friendly. They showed us the room. Cannot use outdoor shoes inside the room but they have slippers. Would recommend for a unique experience.
We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff were very friendly and spoke English, which made communication easy. What I liked most was the location—just a short walk from the train station and very close to Dotonbori and major shopping areas.
The hotel is a traditional Japanese ryokan with beautiful tatami flooring, offering a truly authentic experience.
The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the smell in the hallway and elevator carpets, which I feel could use an upgrade.
Other than that, everything was great! It's a safe and convenient place to stay, especially if you plan to explore Osaka's top sights and shops.

직원들 모두 친절하시고, 매일 방을 깨끗하게 청소해주셔서 좋았습니다. 물도 호텔 안 자판기에서 사는 게 밖에서 사는 것보다 저렴해서 좋았습니다.
다만, 세면대를 사용하면 화장실 바닥에 물이 새는 부분이 조금 아쉬웠네요.

넓게 바닥에서 이불깔고 자는것과 아주 작은 목욕할 공간이 있었어요, 욕장은 환기가 안되서 오래 있지는 못했어요
직원분들 친절했어요
다만 가격이 시설에 비해 비싼거 같아요
그 다음날에 4성급 비슷한 금액으로 갔으니까요

좀 오래된 건물이긴 했지만 청소상태가 정말 깨끗했어요. 그리고 아침저녁으로 목욕탕을 이용할 수 있어서 좋았습니다.
살짝 노후한 건물이었어요. 난방이 잘 안되었던 것 같지만 나름대로 만족했습니다! 대욕장을 사용할 수 있다는게 큰 장점인 것 같아요. 관리하시는 분들 모두 친절하셔서 숙박하기 좋았어요! 다만 아침을 못먹었다는 점이 아쉽습니다 ㅠㅠ 아침 먹고 싶었는데 다음에...간다면 아침도 같이 먹어보고싶어요. 하루 잘 자고 갑니다!
첫 일본 여행에 좋은 기억을 남겨준 숙소입니다.
성인 5명이라 혹시 좁진 않을까 했지만 충분히 편하게 지냈습니다! 체크인이나 다른 요청사항을 물어보기에 큰 어려움 없이 의사소통 가능했어요. (저는 영어, 일본어 매우 못하지만 거의 알아들었습니다.)
대욕탕은 밤마다 갈정도로 피로를 풀기에 좋았습니다.
도톤보리나 지하철 역과도 가깝고, 근처에 편의점도 많아요. 숙소에 음료 자판기뿐만 아니라 맥주 자판기도 있어서 편리했습니다.
숙소 시설, 방음, 직원분들까지 모두 좋았습니다. 일본 다다미방을 원하시는 분들을 꼭 가보세요~ 이불도 도톰해서 큰 불편함 없이 바닥에서 잘 수 있어요!
