Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a gem just across the vibrant Dotonbori Street, offering a prime location for exploring the area. The rooms, though slightly warm with the heater on, are impeccably clean but lack space for luggage. The friendly and English-speaking staff go above and beyond to assist guests, making the service top-notch. The dining options, with a mix of local and Western dishes, provide a delicious experience. However, the room's limited space for movement stands as a drawback, overshadowed by the convenient location and superb service.
The hotel's location is fantastic, very close to Dotonbori Street and Kuromon market. The rooms, although a bit small and dim, were relatively clean, except for some visible stains on the table and chair. The service was excellent, very friendly, helpful, and no issue with English communication. The dining options were good, with a mix of local and western dishes. However, the surroundings being near strip clubs might not suit all guests.
The hotel's location is perfect for exploring the lively Dotonbori area, although the rooms are small and have a lingering cigarette smell. The service is friendly and convenient, but there are some aspects that could be improved.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were well-equipped with amenities like toiletries, mini-fridge, and coffee-making facilities, they felt a bit cramped with two suitcases. The lack of laundry and free ice was a downside for me.
The hotel is conveniently located near Dontonbori, offering easy access to popular attractions. The rooms, although small, are clean and comfortable. The service is friendly and English-speaking. The dining options are diverse, with a standout breakfast buffet. Overall, a great value for a stay in Osaka.
The hotel is in a prime location, just across the entrance of Dotonbori Street, a short walk to Nipponbashi station, and close to the vibrant Shinsaibashi area. The rooms are cozy, offering views of the Dotombori river, shielding from the city's hustle. The service is attentive and accommodating, with a range of useful facilities available. However, dining options may be a tad pricey for some, and the small room size could be a downside for those looking for more spacious accommodations.
