It was a very comfortable hotel room. It also had easy access to a metro station.
Michael, 6-night trip

8/10 Good

Everything was great except for the loud jackhammer noise outside during the day. I know that really isn’t the fault of the hotel, but I probably would have chosen another spot if I had known about it beforehand.

Very comfortable room with a very good, young, international, English-speaking staff. I was very happy to stay there.
Timothy, 20-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel was great and our room was quite spacious with 2 beds. But I would have happily given up some of the living area space for a slightly bigger bathroom. Very very small and compact bathroom... not horrible but my gosh! So tiny! I knew this going in from the other reviews so was not totally surprised. One thing I thought was unusual for Japanese hotel was that the carpet was not dirty but heavily stained. The hotel provided slippers for us to wear which was great. A little tiny disappointed that when the room was cleaned on day 3 of our 4 night stay our cups were not washed or changed. Honestly that was the worst of it we were very happy and comfortable in the room.
Munazza, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Convenient, clean and easy access
P, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

Stayed three nights and there were a few bumps along the way. First, not sure if it was the hotel or Expedia but the email for check-in instructions was never received. I did figure out that there is an app for check-in, which was important as I was arriving close to reception closing time. Easy app to use, and they release your door code to you at 3PM so you have it available when you get there. The app however says check-in, skip reception and go straight to your room. Do not skip reception! Went out for a bit after dropping off bags and got back to the room and they had wiped out the check-in. Called the emergency number and they completed the check-in steps that reception would have done. Nothing more frustrating than to realize you can’t get in your room where all of your belongings are! Second, I arrived just before 10PM and there was a sign in reception that said it was open until 11. Well there was no one there so wouldn’t have been able to complete those steps. Third, as recent reviews have said - the room needs a deep clean. Just had an overall feeling of ‘not clean’. Fourth - yes the bathrooms are tiny! But that at least was known.

Es incómodo que solo haya servicio de mostrador de 2pm a 10. La alfombra sucia igual los sobrecamas y las almohadas dan esa apariencia de suciedad, el baño diminuto

簡單乾淨的旅店

單人房間配置簡單乾淨,但是浴室很小,位置距離地鐵超商不遠,自助check out、寄放行李很方便。 隔音不好,外面的飆車族跟救護車聲音在晚上很明顯,不易入睡的人可能會介意。

Great location.

Had a great experience here. Easy check-in, friendly staff and great location. Close to Dotonbori. Lots of amenities available in case you forget your razor, toothbrush, etc. Would definitely book again.
