This hotel is literally close to everything. If you are a walker you can actually walk to most of the markets and all subways. Only thing the room is really small but you do have your own bathroom. It's worth the price to have privacy.

It was a wonderfully big room however it stains on carpet and couch. Also the shower curtain had mold on it. Beds were really comfortable so overall it was ok for a short stay.

Room was clean and fresh towels were available each day in the lobby. Staff was fine, very friendly. The location is a little bit away from tourist spots, but you can easily walk to Dotonbori or hop on one of the three nearest subway lines to get anywhere. The hotel was quiet, so no problem sleeping. The backstreets have several restaurants and there are nearby convenience stores. Using the app to check in was unique but worked fine. The place uses keyless entry to the rooms using a door code.

We made a last minute to stay an extra night in Osaka and booked this location the day before our stay. It was more then enough for what we were looking for. Very close to a subway connection and walking distance to Dotonbori area which was the area we had planned to explore on on extra day. For a family of four the room was very spacious and comfortable. The only downside was the bathroom was possibly the smallest out of four different locations we stayed at. Still very manageable and it was new/clean but if we had been staying for multiple nights navigating the bathroom space would have been annoying. Would recommend to others to stay at.

It is walking distance to many subway lines but not midosuji line. Machiyamachi station is few minuts walk. Convenience store near by. Room is big and spacy but not bathroom. Hotel is beside the highway so when it is quiet at night, it is noisy but when youbturn on air conditioning, then traffic sound is erased with it. Pick your battle. Other than that all good.

Clean room, just had many stains on the seating area. A guest was really loud last night, we couldnt sleep. I think they should tell guests that noise after a certain hour should be kept respectable. About a 20 minute walk to Dontonbori
