Close to the station, right under the Dontonburi sign, short walk to the shops & station, popular ramen place next door too. Room layout was great (Economy Double Room 1 Double Bed)
Complimentary toiletries and supplies are located at reception (Level 2) if needed.
Staff were great, buffet breakfast was overly diverse (from toast to spaghetti bolognese)

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.

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.

Great location, away from the hustle of Dotonbori area, but still on the same street and across the street. Greta ramen place next door and pharmacy as well if needed. Staff were friendly and helpful, free drinks (juice/ tea) available even though we didn’t pay for breakfast option. Rooms are small compared to western hotels, but location made up for it.

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.

Amazing location but tiny rooms
We loved the location, ideal for food shopping and getting around. Avoid the economy rooms as they are just so small. Not enough space for 2 adults and luggage, although the space is reflected in the price. If you are after budget then they might be a good option. Great free soft drinks all afternoon and evening which we loved.

This hotel is in an A location with minute walk to Dotonbori, shopping streets, so many restaurants and sights. And very close to subway and airport limo bus stop. The rooms are small but a comfort double has enough room for luggage. Hotel is very clean. The staff is very polite and helpful.
