We stayed at this hotel from March 12–16 and had a pleasant experience overall. The staff were very polite, helpful, and accommodating.

Our room on the 13th floor was spacious enough for five people, even with multiple large suitcases. The bathroom was big and well-designed, though the toilet wasn’t separated and had a slight odor when flushed—bringing a spray helps.

The TV had limited channels (around 10), but it provided useful updates like laundry and breakfast status. No smart TV features (Netflix/Amazon), but the affordable in-room massage service was a nice bonus.

Breakfast was delicious, especially the tempura and takoyaki, with a good mix of Western and Japanese options.

Parking was easy but cash-only, with strict hours: return by 10 PM and access starts at 7 AM.

Laundry is on the 7th floor with only three machines. It costs about 500 yen per cycle plus 200 yen for extra drying. Detergent is included, but machines had a slight odor—bring paper towels for lint cleanup.

Overall, despite minor issues, we enjoyed our stay and would return when visiting Osaka.

The room was not very big. They provided 2 double beds (not very big) and a single bed even though we were 4. Space is tight. In our case it was not much of a problem since we travelled with our 2 teenagers but you may want a room with another bed if your party is 4.
Beds were very firm.
Breakfast was incredible, the variety, the taste and quality. Very good.
Location wise it is great too, metro station literally next to the hotel, seven eleven roght in front and about 15 min walking to Den Den Town area.
The hotel was super quiet as well.
Only issue was the small room/beds and the reception staff barely speaks English so just bear that in mind.

I thought it felt a little tired and a little less nice inside the room than I expected. I’d stayed in another hotel in this chain earlier in the same trip and it was much nicer and more recently updated, so I was a little surprised. The bed was also harder and less comfortable. The breakfast, while overall pretty good, was often out of the best items over the course of our meal, and it seemed like the kitchen was understaffed. However, the service was quite good and the staff very friendly and helpful.

The amenities were standard but great that they also gave us a sheet mask for the ladies. I loved that the mirror in the restroom had a section that would not fog up! Only small complaint was that the desk was a bit dusty. Overall very pleasant stay! :)

The layout of the room was roomy in comparison to most hotels in Japan. The mattress was firm, room was clean and the washrooms had decent space for us to change and move around. Staff were very friendly and willing to change our room to nonsmoking last minute since we booked the wrong room.
Located in a business area a bit far away from the JR line (~30min walk from Osaka station) so you need to take a private line where the station is located right next to the hotel.

Good stay except for a terrible check in

Rather good experience overall but the check in experience was bad. Hence 3 stars only. No smile at all, no flexibility around early check although we arrived at 12h20, little English spoken at reception. Some staff at reception are better than others as the service experienced later demonstrated. But this hotel has to improve that first impression that customers keep.... the check in.

It's also got good room sizes for couples when compared to other similarly priced hotels in Japan, specifically in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. There's everything you could need for a basic but comfortable stay in the center of Osaka, close enough to Namba and Umeda. Can't recommend this enough, especially with the Torikizoku restaurant just around the corner.

The hotel is located next to Exit 6 of Kitahama subway station.

Room size is as expected and promoted in the hotel web. We understand it is the standard double room in Japan hotel, with one double bed, a writing desk and a TV stand. Settings are simple but we have all we need: water boiler, TV, tea/ coffee making, fridge, luggage stand, slippers, hangers, and an iron board!

The room is bright lit and clean, the toilet is small but very clean, it does not have any moldy smell which I really appreciate.

The check-in staff was very friendly and care about the little child I have and give extra towels to us.

The neighborhood is business district. There are plenty of eateries, both causal fast good style and Japanese specialty. Lawson and 7-11 are around the corner. There's one drug store selling Japanese medicine and beauty products about 100 meters away.

Comments and recommendations:
to replace a larger trash bin for child diapers disposal.
to put recycle bin in the hotel lobby or lift lobby for bins/ plastic recycling.
a few more cloth hangers would be good for families with small children.
