Nice modern hotel right off the main area of Dotonburi. The staff were extremely helpful and even rushed to get our luggage sorted for a luggage transfer which was a life saver. The hotel also offers a free self-serving food and drinks bar which we took advantage off. Overall we loved our stay and would happily stay again!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was very helpful and answered all questions. The included breakfast buffet was incredible. The size of the room was larger than I expected from a hotel in Japan. The area is very touristy but very convenient near a major train station, shopping, restaurants and bars. It was very easy to get to Kansai Airport from this hotel.

Perfect location - central to Namba and Dotonbori, but on a quieter side street to the main action. Service is excellent, rooms modern and clean, and a great breakfast too. Highly recommend when visiting Osaka for a few days.

In good spot of the city but horrible hotel. The staff were off and not very helpful. I found blood on my duvet cover and asked to changed it but they didn’t even apologize. No amenities in the room even water bottles! Not a fun stay.

Melissa

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Clean and well-located property, but the rooms are tiny. In the single room, the only space to store luggage is under the bed and my corner unit had a partially blocked window, so it was a bit oppressive. Also found the front desk staff to be hit or miss in terms of helpfulness. They could not help make phone calls to local restaurants and the luggage shipping service is book-it-yourself. A bit more like a high-end hostel than a full-service hotel, but the price reflects that.

Bad customer service

Bad customer service. We had to check out one day prior because the flight was canceled and had to anticipate our return but they would not give us a refund for the final night. First they told us they would contact Hotels.com to see if they would approve the refund, then I reached out to the website and an agent called the hotel but the manager did not approve the refund. Also, rooms are extremely small and bed small and uncomfortable.

Chambre minuscule dans un excellent hôtel

Extrêmement bien situé, petit déjeuner excellent mais chambre archi minuscule semblable a une cabine de bateau. Ok pour une nuit voire deux et juste pour dormir parce qu’on n a clairement pas envie d’y passer du temps surtout si on est claustrophobe. Dommage car hormis ça, tout y est !

Very convenient location. Right on Dotonbori, 3 min walk to the subway entrance, Lawsons just across the street. Rooms are well thought out. There are small shelves with a hanging area on the wall. Small shelf over the mini fridge with a plug in. Our 24 inch suitcases slid under the bed which gave us a lot of floor space back. Our favorite hotel during our Japan trip, no complaints.

Hotellet ligger lige ved Dotonbori og Namba station og værelset var fint i sig selv. Desværre havde vi vindue ud til et stort ventilationssystem, som larmede i døgndrift og sengen var ret hård.
