Communication over email was slow, however the location once there gave easy access to the umeda Osaka Train station and surrounding shopping area. The room was spacious enough but old, with a small bathroom. If was functional but in need of a coat of paint and new carpet. Otherwise it was clean and worked for our needs

- The corridors of the hotel felt old and have a lot of visible damage.

- the bathroom was clean, but the rest of the room felt old and there was the same kind of “oldness” that we saw in the corridors.

- the dryer was not super efficient. My friend put jeans and shirts. They were not near dry after a full 60 minutes cycle.

As soon as I checked in all 3 female staff were behind the desk while I struggled with the kiosk. The hallways leading to my room was dirty with stains on the wall. My room was non smoking but smoke leaked from a room mext to me. Using the TV was tricky, they WANT YOU TO PAY! BUT ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PUSH #2 TO START WATCHING FREE TV PROGRAMS. The area right outside the hotel is shady with solicitation of Massages. I definitely got what I payed for trying to be cheap in Osaka. The best thing about my room was probably that the restroom was nicer than the actual room itself.

The place was cheap, but that's about it. It was more money than staying was worth. The conditions of the room were horrible. There were what looked like urine stains on the walls, the walls were scratched up and dirty, and the holder for the shower head was broken. The walls were also paper thin, so I head both of my neighbors and every person just passing by outside. The toilet and shower were both cramped, and there were no brushes, toothpaste, or any other toiletries offered in the bathroom. The bed and pillow were also very uncomfortable, making it even harder to sleep through the outside noise. 3/10 for me, because the staff were accommodating and the AC worked well.

Walls are scratched, dirty, stained, and beat up. They're also paper thin. You can hear the person in the next room like they're right beside you. Construction in the area (that starts at 4-5am) and constantly yelling from people on the streets will likely keep you up all night. The bathroom had black mold growing in it and the wi-fi constantly disconnected and the speed wasn't even fast enough to load a YouTube video on the lowest setting without buffering. Overall, this wasn't even worth the low price they charged.

Excellent value for the money! It took a bit of work to find the place and it's not exactly located in the nicest of areas (lots of love hotels and pink bars nearby), but it is perfect for a good night's sleep and quite a bit more privacy than a capsule hotel or hostel. The reservation included a breakfast buffet, which was added value and decent enough. Worth every yen at under 5,000 yen per night. Above that, you may be just as good with a capsule and no breakfast buffet.

Not amazing, but adequate for what it was

Preface, I chose this place purely because it was walking distance to the JR station, for one night only then departing the next morning. For what it was (a bed and a shower) it was adequate but no more. For a few dollars more I could have had a proper room, so I would not visit again.

Location: surprisingly difficult to find.

Hotel is not air conditioned, only the rooms (sort of. The remote for the AC has about 35 buttons, in Japanese only and no intuitive ease of use. Several minutes of trial and error gave the five button sequence to turn on the AC). Weather was 36C 81% on this day.

Restaurant for breakfast was surprisingly good. Small but good variety of Japanese style items, with some very basic western choices like granola (no other cereal), buns, and some odd items like pickled mystery vegetables and green salad. I ate only the Japanese items, which were great. Self serve buffet.

Room was tiny but that was expected, single sink/shower combo gave instant hot water at good pressure.

All in all, adequate for what it was, a place to clean up and sleep after 18 hours of travelling.

Good Hotel in the city

The Hotel staff are impeccable. They are wonderfully welcoming and will help you out with a lot of different things if you are stuck. The rooms are small especially for someone of my stature (6ft 6/ 2m). The rooms had a few places that were a bit broken (for example some bits of wood seemed water damaged). The breakfast was good and is cheaper to buy it when you book as opposed to when you are there. The location is quite close to the main station in Osaka and also not far from lots of really nice restaurants. Lastly i would like to recommend this Hotel because the staff speak enough English to be able to help with most of the requests that I had. I would recommend this Hotel on the calibre of its staff alone.

Dirty and terrible hotel

When I checked in, I was told that my booking was only paid for 2 adults while my reservation was clearly for a triple bedroom. Who would be stupid enough to book a triple room for 2 adults? Anyway, we ended up paying extra around 4,300 Yen just because we were already very tired to argue with the hotel.
The room was not as good as I expected. I mean, I knew from reading the other reviews that it's quite an old property, but this is quite terrible. The cleanliness was poor, the bathroom and toilet were so bad, and our window was facing the back of the hotel which is full of pipes and AC fans.
The receptionists were not so friendly, which surprised us the most because out of all properties that we stayed in Japan, they were always smiling and very polite to the guests.
I hate the location of the hotel, it's quite difficult to reach from Osaka JR Station if you do not know the way from the underground. If you take the walk on the street level, you ended up taking a longer route because there are some streets which you cannot cross over. However, finding the way in the underground was also very challenging, so we always got lost.
The hotel is located at the Pachinko and Slot's places neighborhood in Umeda area, so it's always very busy at night. We stayed there during the weekend, and saw a lot of drunk people on the street. If you like bars and play slot machines, maybe this is the best hotel for you to stay, but definitely not family friendly location.

Great deal!

So I saw that I can't post my room rate, but I will say that I paid a little over three figures total for three nights. I found it to be a very pleasant stay, especially for that price. This is Japan, so customer service was top notch, same as you'd expect to find anywhere else in the country. The one departure from other hotels is that they will not make up your room automatically unless you indicate it with the doorhanger, though I'm sure a quick call downstairs would have down the same. Also razors, toothbrushes and the like are down in the lobby instead of being refreshed in your room.

Since it's on the cheaper end, the actual hotel outside the lobby is more reminiscent of a military barracks than a Marriott. The room was fine, though one end of the bed was definitely a bit more worn in. The TV is about the size of a monitor, which wasn't an issue for me because I wasn't in Osaka to watch TV. Fridge worked fine, and thanks to Google Translate I was able to operate the AC unit.

As for the area, I've seen other reviews take issue with love hotels being in the area. Couples need a place to, well, couple. And I can't be positive but I'm pretty sure there was a guy outside offering some ladies for companionship, but again, this is not uncommon and as a tourist I wasn't offered. Neither of these things impacted the stay at the hotel.

In summation, if you need a budget hotel to lay your head at night, this place is more than acceptable.

Price is really reasonable so don't expect much...

The location is far away from the rail/underground station around around 15-20 mins walk even worst if you walk on the ground(remember M14 exit if walk underground). Not every room have WiFi and LAN. The room I lived was the biggest among three hotel I stayed this time, but seems like it was office function before(I guess so). The shower facilities are poor and the water supply is a bit uncontrollable. They don't use key card but the key so one key per room only and they expect you to return key when go out. Have to beware the surrounding neighborhood especially if you are girl as the surrounding business is a bit abnormal to tourism nature. There are coin laundry machine at the ground level.The service is not bad and there is one Cantonese speaker worked there.

Alright

you get for what you pay. this is place if you are after a budget hotel. the location is alright not too far but theres a bit of a walk like 15 mins from umeda station. the service is ok the staff are friendly. there are many dodgy places in the neighbourhood so probably not good for families. but generally im ok with my stay.

alright

This hotel was alright, it's super convenient for people using Osaka as a base for traveling to other reigns. That what we did anyway, as it is one stop away from the shin-Osaka(Shinkansen train line) . The neighborhood around the hotel is more quite though there is a 24 hr grocery store 2 blocks north which is nice. internet is spotty though.

Great location, but No Free WIFI

Nothing to complain about. Location, cleanliness. Hotel is good condition, but needs upgrade soon. No WIFI is definitely the reason that I won't stay again. Until they get free WIFI, sorry..... Internet cafe is 400 yen an hour....Think of that....neighborhood is low-end, for-sale ladies skin-trade industry....

Myself and two of my friends (one from nagoya, one from australia like me) stayed at business hotel kansai for 2 nights in June 2013. although it took us far too long to find the hotel because osaka station is crazy to navigate, afterwards finding the entrance/exit we needed was fairly okay. I wouldn't stay here if getting a Shinkansen (bullet train) because you have to transfer to osaka station and it is just far too complicated with luggage. if you want somewhere close and affordable to osaka station (use exit 14) and don't plan on going out at night, this is a good choice. the rooms are fairly clean and facilities in fine condition. the staff are friendly and helpful. but the location is pretty terrible other than being close to the station. we did not feel safe walking around at night, being 3 young women.
