We loved the stay here. I booked accidentally for 1 pax. They helped to rectify it. The amenities were great. We also called in housekeeping on day 3 to tidy our room up. The hotel has a washer and a dryer and detergent which can be purchased for use. We love the 2-11pm minibar of drinks and ice lollies

Very nice stay overall with a clean and comfortable room. The property was well kept and made for a pleasant experience. The housekeeping team did an excellent job. They were reliable, kept the room very clean, and provided fresh towels every day, which made the stay even more comfortable.

However, one interaction with a staff member stood out. When I asked about luggage handling, he became a bit impatient and told me to refer to the website. I understand the information may be available there, but as a guest, I wouldn’t be asking if it were already clear to me. It wasn’t the most helpful response, especially for travelers who may need a bit more guidance.

Always my go-to accomodation when I’m in Osaka. Everything is GREAT! Location is the best- just a few steps away from the Crysta underground train entrance. Room size is standard Japanese, but very clean and well-kept. Amenities well provided. The free unlimited coffee from 6-11am, and free unlimited assorted drinks and ice cream from 2-11pm is a great treat for all guests. All the staff are friendly and helpful.

The hotel is located steps from an underground shopping center that's connected to the subway, and right next to Shinsaibashi shopping street, which leads to Dotonbori.

The bathroom smelled moldy and i noticed a dust layer would build up on my ipad screen each morning. Although the linen was clean, the pillows were very uncomfortable. The room is very small which i suppose is normal for the area

What a great stay at this property! Although it was a small room, it came equipped with everything I needed and was comfortable and quiet.
The staff were efficient and kind, I was impressed by the housekeepers, front desk staff and the lovely breakfast room staff.
The breakfast was amazing! The best hotel breakfast I've ever had, I'm so glad I included it. So many fantastic options, everything hot and tasty. I can recommend this hotel for the breakfast alone!
The hotel is steps from entrance 5 to the Crysta walkway connecting subway stations. So many great shops, restaurants to try and make sure to use the entrance on the corner to get escalators up and down.
It's a 5 minute walk to Dotonbori and a 5 minute walk to all the shops of Shinsaibasi. You have everything you need within minutes.
I highly recommend this property and would stay here again.

The room is super small, cant open larger luggages, also the drinks machine are only available from 2PM to 11PM, not sure who came up with this policy but we are in Osaka, no one goes out late and comes back early, which means the drinks machine is completely unusable. Other than that is the rooms by default are powered off, so the moment I entered the room, it was hot AF. Overall not recommended for tourists.

Booked for a few days stay in Osaka as it was centralized near many things we wanted to visit. Staff very helpful and spoke perfect English. Check in and check out was super smooth. Room was smaller than expected so be prepared for that and make sure to double check your room size especially if you’re tall. Room overall was clean minus a random stain on the wall, AC came in very useful as it was very hot during our stay this month, and the bed was very comfortable. Close to many 7-11’s and Family Mart’s, restaurants, and shopping.

This hotel has great location. Room is small compare to Western standard but it's pretty typical in Osaka tourist area. It's minutes away from Crystal underground shopping/ eating street. Two nearby subway stations. From Shinsabashi subway station takes exit 5... there is elevator to the hotel. Nearby there is Toyu Hand department store which opens till 9pm on week night. About 10 mins walk to Hotel Nikko Osaka where you can catch airport bus. Hotel is clean, wifi is fast and there are 100 free movies (mostly Japanese with subtitles). I stayed for 6 nights in early May 2019 ... only one night I hear ambulance siren for a period of time. This hotel is near a hospital and edge of the commercial area. The sound didn't bother me much. Air conditioner is cold and quiet. Breakfast is mainly Japanese breakfast and some Western continental items. They have welcome drinks from 2-11 pm (tea, soft drink, juice, tea...). I will stay here again. Building door is locked and only access by guests who has keys ... I feel safe staying in this hotel. Staff are polite and speak good English.

Amazing hotel with an amazing breakfast buffet! All for 10K JPY! The hotel was reasonably priced and spotless with all the frills provided. The only trade off for all the modern and clean finishings was as you guessed the size of the room. No big deal when you’re traveling solo and just want to see the city. Would highly recommend to any of my friends.

Cozy quiet inn in middle of bustling Shinsaibashi

When we got out of Shinsaibashi subway station,Exit 5 was closed for major construction to last for a year.Guests of the hotel can choose Exit 1 or Exit 4 ( through Daimaru floors) to walk to the hotel. Look for Tokyu Hands store and the hotel is a few shops ahead.Location of the hotel is good.If weather is rainy or too hot, guests can walk down( entrance in front of hotel) to the underground Crysta Nagahori underground shop mall as a short-cut to Shinsaibashi shop mall or subway stations etc. Size of room is small as expected( Japanese standard) but super clean.With a bit of adjustment or organizing, guests should be able to get used to opening suitcases etc. in a small room. Hotel`s buffet breakfast is tasty especially the Japanese dishes.

The location is pretty good, quite close to subway stations and walking distance to one of famous shopping area in Osaka. Very clean and comfortable place to stay. The only thing is that I bought breakfast coupon when I checked in and there is no date on the coupon. I didn't use it and tried to get it refund when I checked out. No refund...so I would suggest buying the breakfast coupon only before having that.

The room itself was super small, even by Japanese standards. Barely enough room to open one suitcase. At least the bathroom was super spacious and quite nicely equipped. For a convenient, budget friendly place to sleep in Osaka, I would definitely recommend staying here.

직원분들은 친절하시고

계속 마실 수 있는 음료나
웰컴 아이스가 제공되는것도 좋았다고 생각합니다.

다만, 객실에 들어가면
텔레비전의 밑에 있는
선반이 칠이 벗겨진채로
방치되어있거나 합니다.
이거야 좀 노후화 되면 어쩔 수 없는
현상이긴하니 그냥 넘어갈 수 있습니다.

가장 놀랐던건
타월에서 냄새가 납니다.
미리 배치되어있던 타월도 냄새가 나고
새로 요청해서 받은 타월에서도
냄새가 났습니다.
일본을 여행하면 이런저런 호텔에
묵었었으나 이런일은 처음이었습니다.

새로 받은 타월중에서도
냄새가 덜 나는게 있는거보면
전부가 그렇다고는 단정지을 수 없습니다만
일부라고는 해도 제가 사용했던 타월들이
냄새가 난다는것 자체가
꽤나 불쾌한 경험이었습니다.

부디 개선되길 바라봅니다.
