Good location for the shopping and night life, could be a bit crowded at times. Some of the first floor carpeting looked worn and dark in areas, especially the elevator. The room and bath area and sauna were all good and well maintained with all the amenities that we needed.

This was a traditional Japanese hotel. Our room was very large compared with o the many 3 star hotels we had staying at before this one. The room came with twin beds. We also had a tatami room with option of sleeping on a futon. The woodwork in the room was amazing. We chose the half board option which included a traditional dinner and breakfast. The dinner was a 15 course amazing dinner and the breakfast was just as impressive. The location was across the street from the Dotonburi shopping district.

The location directly across from the top of Dotonburi st was awesome, everything we needed was in quick walking distance, clubs, shops, arcade, transportation. And a slew of amazing restaurants. We didn’t use all of the amenities offered, but the open air bath was very nice and the traditional tatami and futon were also like sleeping on a dream. We loved the riverside view and waking up to the sounds of the people in the morning!

The location is fantastic for Osaka. However, the hotel definitely needs some renovations. Its age is showing big time. The room was a little rundown and the shower smelled very strongly of fish on the first night. After we kept the vent running in the shower room, it helped but yeah...
