  Very small rooms

  14 Mar 2024

  Rooms are extremely small, twin beds, so close together. No room for luggage. Bathroom equally small. Aircon duct was mouldy and dirty. Dust clinging to walls, under beds look like they have never seen a vacuum cleaner!! Only very small Japanese pillows, one per bed.Decent breakfast, and good location.

  Dreadful hotel

  29 May 2023

  I’ll start with the positives. They do an excellent breakfast and the team at reception are brilliant and provide great guidance to see Osaka. Location is pretty good with Osaka castle an easy walk, on top of a train station and connected to a shopping mall. But the rooms are tiny, even by Japan standards terribly so. The decor is appalling but it did appear very clean. Badly dated and tired however and I just don’t think it justified the price

  Do not stay here.

  Absolutely terrible. Dust on surfaces, doors in room did not close, mould on windows, air conditioner did not give cool air, pillow only Japanese type, musty smell. This hotel is above two railway line stations.

  Great location and a comfortable hotel

  06 Jun 2019

  Like most hotels in Japan the room is small and although we asked for a double bed we got twin beds. There was no room for luggage so we had to move a chair into the cupboard so we could put our suitcases under the bench. The room is no smoking but there is a smoking room on the same floor as our room so we got the smoke smell. The bathroom is small but well appointed except there was no face washer or sponge as other hotels provided. Reception is on 7th floor but there are 3 lifts so we were able to access our room promptly.Breakfast is hit and miss. There is an omelette chef but the first day it was so undercooked it was inedible. The second day I managed to get him to cook it longer so it was okay. The warming dishes don’t keep the food hot enough so the bacon, sausages etc are lukewarm. The best thing about the hotel is the location. It is right beside a shopping mall and train station which makes it easy to get to all of Osaka’s attractions.I would stay here again if visiting Osaka.

  Older, Adequate, Well Priced

  04 Mar 2019

  This older style hotel in Osaka faces the river however we had a not so glamorous room with a “city” view but nonetheless a satisfactory short stay room. Our room was very small with no allocated room for your suitcases but manageable, 2 King Single beds with only 1 pillow each, a small chair and bar fridge, and an older style “flat screen” tv. The bathroom was tiny but again adequate for our needs but having long legs sitting slightly side saddle was required LOL, the water pressure and temperature fantastic. The hotel is located above a subway station and a small shopping mall and about 8 little restaurants/bars. We had dinner ina traditional local restaurant on the end near the steps to our hotel (sorry forgot the name) which was absolute great taste size and price with great cold beers. As usual a good sized breakfast available to satisfy all tastes. A previous review stated no cooling A/C in autumn which I can confirm but in March it isn’t necessary anyway - accept that’s the way it is baby! Yes it is an older style hotel but the price of same, the location, the obliging staff, has very small rooms and bathroom but overall quite satisfactory for a short term stay
