Urasenke Arai Kaikai General Headquarters

I made another solo leisure trip to Osaka and wanted to stay at a new hotel that was a good balance of value and convenience. Overall, I had a good experience during my stay at this hotel. The location was in Honmachi, which was a nice change of the more chaotic areas near Umeda and Namba, while also being very accessible to either areas by metro. The room was comfortable and spacious for the price point. Lastly, the staff was professional and helpful when I interacted with them. I did not have the hotel breakfast or visit the bar, since I ate at my favorite places in the area and only came back to sleep. However, it was a very enjoyable stay and a good hotel for solo leisure travel.

Convenient location because walkable to many places. Has washer/dryer. Multiple Convenient stores across or a few steps from hotel with money exchange ATM machine. Love blackout feature in the room. Has umbrellas in lobby for hotel guests on rant days.
