Alright, here’s the deal. Prior to booking this hotel, I read the reviews like a hawk. I felt pretty confident going in what to expect with this hotel. Here’s my take:
Location wise, it’s a fantastic hotel. You are literally 4 minute or 100 yards away from Osaka-Namba station which is one of the major hubs for subway and other public transportation. You are so close to other night markets and good restaurants near by. For these reasons alone, this hotel tops just about any place. My wife and I visited Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara, and felt that this hotel location was THE place to be where you are so close to transportation hub and shopping/restaurants.
Staff members: good and friendly. They appear to speak fluent English. I didn’t have much an interaction with them so I won’t say much.
Facility: this is where this hotel loses its ratings. As for the room, we got a double standard room. I’ll start by saying that it’s “cute”. My wife and I stayed comfortably without any problems. However, as any place in Japan, space is limited. If you have more than two large luggage, the space will be pretty tight. But then again, you can get a bigger room or another 30-40 (dollars - CDN for us). Bathroom is clean with all the standard amenities. Bed/mattress is pretty firm, just FYI. Heating/AC is very responsive; a bit too responsive since the room is so small. I had a tough time trying to find the right temperature lol.
Great budget hotel to see Osaka region! Good luck ;)
