Reviews
The location is excellent, right near Shinsaibashi, making it very easy to walk around, shop, and find food.
Rooms were clean and comfortable, and housekeeping was consistent throughout the stay.
Staff were polite and helpful, even with language differences.
Amenities are simple but sufficient for a longer stay focused on exploring the city.
Overall, a great base for sightseeing in Osaka. Convenient, comfortable, and good value for a group of friends.
2-3 minutes walk to train station easy with luggage. This is my second time staying in this hotel. Will definitely return.

Hotel serves guests in tourist region rather than key business region. Tourists like to have snapshots and take photos. Some receptionist is impolite to interfere tourist to take snapshots in hotel. Working in hospitality industry, don't understand why staff is allowed to wear masks instead of smiling face. It seriously causes guests bad impression.
