Hotel Chuo Selene in Osaka

Good for short stay . Issues I had with hotel was awkward bathroom setup, loud cleaning staff, little sound proofing and spartan amenities. You can pick up any extra at stuff you need by front desk and they offer tea and coffee free . If you get a good price it’s not bad but once it starts climbing in price the competition of Japanese chain hotels like Apa offer far better value and service.

Based on my past experiences with hotels in Shin-Imamiya, I had zero expectations, but it was better than I expected. The front desk staff were very polite, and the entrance was clean.
It wasn't raining, so I didn't need one, but they apparently offered umbrella rentals.
The lobby also had tables and chairs that looked like they could be used for business, a microwave, a gas stove, vending machines, a coin laundry, and a restroom.
Tea and coffee were also provided, and they also had extension cords and nail clippers available for rental.
I was staying alone, so I didn't use them, but
an extension cord might be useful if there were more than one person.
There was also a plug near the bed in the room, which I found convenient, even though I didn't use it.
The room seemed small, but that's understandable for a solo guest.
However, I wish they had provided hangers with clips instead of regular ones, and
there was no space (like a stand or rack) to put my luggage, which was a bit of a problem.
Also, there's no kettle in the room, so you have to bring tea or coffee from the lobby.
It's too hot to carry to the room, so I wish they'd provide a tray or put a kettle in the room.
When I leave the room to get a drink, I have to remove my card key,
and when I return, the lights and air conditioning are all off.
I wish they'd make it so I don't have to insert my card key.
Amenities like cleanser and lotion are not provided, so you have to bring your own.
The only things in the room that are mysteriously provided are a tissue box and a cup for drinking (even though there's no kettle).
Both were covered in dust, so I washed them under the tap.
The lack of cleanliness makes me distrust the hotel (it lowers my impression of it).
My room was at the very end, so it was relatively quiet.
However, I could hear the alarm from the next room in the morning, which was a bit bothersome.
I was a little worried about the shampoo and body wash they were using, as I didn't know what brand they were using, so I brought my own.
Also, there was no hand soap, so I wish they'd at least provide some. Although I didn't use it this time, I thought it was good that they had a luggage storage facility, and the coin lockers were returnable, which I thought was good for security.

The man at the front desk is so rude! He talks to me like a regular customer and says I'm disgusting. I don't understand what he means! He talks to foreigners in a harsher tone and is rude.

I booked a basic room and good enough for an overnight stay. There’s a free toiletries provided by the hotel. Location is close to a metro, surrounded with small restaurant and convenience store. There’s also a big Don Quijote that’s walking distance from the hotel.
