Amazing boutique hotel, they even had a small skincare bar downstairs which was such a great touch. The only thing we wish would’ve been better was having a small sink in the separate toilet as there is no facility of that. But that didn’t really hinder our stay there as much. Staff helped us with the luggage forwarding service too. Lovely location, 7/11 is right opposite the hotel.

I like the location of the property, though the facilities are a bit old-school. You can’t turn off all lights with one button by bedside. You will have to turn some lights off one by one.

We stayed here in November 2023 in an executive King Room with lounge access. This hotel was fantastic! The room was spacious, the bed absolutely massive and a lovely view out to the city below. The lounge access with the executive rooms was well worth the extra cost. Breakfast is held in the lounge (if you have access), which is on the highest floor, with large windows and a great view out.

Staff very helpful and friendly. Laundry facilities are excellent especially using an app to pay instead of coins. Location brilliant for Universal Studios and Universal City Walk for food options. 7-11 and Lawson are a 5 minute walk away. Would recommend. N.B. The JR Sakurajima station is across the road of the hotel, 2 minute walk and not 8 minutes (backtracking) walk stated on Google Maps.

Be flexible with dates: Prices may vary depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in an Osaka hotel. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels may provide a more personalised experience and occasionally offer better value.
