Friendly staff, find we're clean and will sized for two people. Very close to train station, a suoermarket,Dominos pizza as well as convenience stores Would recommend and definitely stay again with my family.
Great stay, clean room and cleaning service every 3 days.
Hotel staff were very nice and courteous, bath and face towel replaced everyday. Trash also cleared by staff if placed outside.
The twin room we stayed in was clean and spacious. Amenities were adequte. The staff were excellent at communicating in English, friendly and efficient. This accommodation was also 2 stops away from Umeda, was easy to find, quick and easy to get to and from with trains. Many convenience stores around as well. Highly recommend!
We loved our stay here, the room was big and the area was nice and quiet compared to the busy city. The breakfast option was so nice! We loved the food! And we also loved how close it was to the stations and the staff were very kind and friendly. They held our luggage so we can to explore Osaka Castle after we checked out, will definitely recommend!!
Staff was great. Environment was peaceful and easy to maneuver. The beds and pillows were not the best in terms of comfort. Other than that, it was great.
They provide cleaning service every 3 days. Air condition is adjustable. Close to Minamikata station of Midosuji line. Close to convenient store, drug store, and supermarket. English speaking staff. Highly recommended.
The room was small but spacious enough for two people for a few days. The breakfast was good with enough options for vegeterian visitors as well. The bed was a bit hard for our taste and we shouldve gotten a room with a larger bed. Train station is very close and it got us around very well.
This no-frills business hotel offers great value. It's relatively new and located just one block away from Nishinakajami-Minamigata Station on the Midosuji Line, making it easy to get around Osaka.
I'd also like to give a shout-out to the front-desk uncle who was mentioned in a few negative reviews. He provided great service, was incredibly professional, really patient with us, and his English was absolutely excellent. I would definitely consider staying at the hotel if I were to visit Osaka again.
Room is big and comfy the staff is very nice and accommodating. Just like 5 min walk to station that goes straight to the tourist areas. Lots of convinis near and food. 7min walk to the bullet train station! Beds are good but pillow hard as a rock lol for me. Has two floors with laundry and dryer which is so convenient. Had ice and vending machines too. They also helped me transfer my luggage to the next hotel!
Great hotel. Clean. Convenient. Well Located. Awesome.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Room comfort
Our room was very small (with a tiny bathroom). For the price we paid - maybe we should have expected it, but it was still uncomfortable. The service was friendly, and the location is good - 8 minutes walk to the Shin-Osaka station.
