Solo Travel Review: I'd recommend this hotel if staying in Osaka. Very safe and quiet area and is walk distance to a grocery store, family mart, and 7-11.
As far as the hotel itself; the staff was very friendly, helpful, and spoke great English. The check-in process was very fast and they received my luggage from a other hotel. The room itself was very clean and decent size for a solo traveler. Only thing I would note is that this hotel doesn't ship out luggage to other hotels; you may need to use the family mart or 7-11 to ship out your luggage.

My room was not clean. I could see dust accumulated on the walls and near vents. They can change your towels and take the garbage out if you request it before 8 am in the morning( I guess you should think of it the night before?) If you sleep in and don't put the sign by this time- they will not do anything. This hotel was my last stop on my trip to Japan and I was unpleasantly surprised by the this type of service. Breakfast which was included in the stay(not the buffet) was something that I opted out because the cup of miso soup and two pieces of rice dish (sorry I don't know the name). The positive side is the location - steps away from the subway. Nevertheless, I would not recommend this hotel.

Great location almost next door to the metro, there is a 24hr family mart across the road, that do luggage delivery if needed, a supermarket next door to the right and a nice cafe to left and round the corner is a 7/11. Its only a couple of stops to Dotonbori. The hotel offers a variety of amenities and the free breakfast is a bonus.

Hotel location was conveniently located next to the Yodobashi station. Literally steps away! A straight forward train ride down to Dontonbori or up to the Shin-Osaka station. Complimentary breakfast was basic, but a good way to start the day.

Room and common areas were clean with thoughtful amenities like hot water kettle, mini fridge, pajamas, toothbrush kits, washcloths, hair brush.

Only thing that I noticed was that there’s evidence of moisture/mildew in the lobby overhead vents. Some evidence of mildew in crevices in our shower area.

There was no soap in the bathroom for handwashing.
There was a microwave and washing machine.

American's first time in Osaka

Overall it was our least favorite hotel out of the 3 we stayed in Japan, if your expectations are low and you're on a budget this will work. If you have some money to spend look somewhere else, the hotel was nice the rooms are small the shower wasn't too clean. Our biggest problems were fighting people for washers there are only two.. its nice they show you on your TV when they will be ready note they ONLY take a 100 yen coins which we found to be a problem. My biggest issue was shipping luggage we had to go down the street to the store. This wasn't a huge deal it is not far but having to leave isn't convenient when other hotels took care of this without leaving the property.

No safe in the room. Very small. Had to move rooms on the third day as our shower was not draining at all. You need to place the room cleaning card on the door before 8am??? If you would like to sleep in then they will not clean your room if its later than 8am. Very odd. Only one washer/dryer for whole hotel.

Very unpleasant visit the staff in the hotel was very rude also is hard to communicate with them, we request our room to be clean and after a very long day that we want to get rest in a clean room it was dirty. Also they are very racists they told us that we can’t eat in the lobby and all the other people was eating and they do not said anything to them. I will never back to that hotel and I never recommended to my friends or family

I liked the check in machines and lockers for storing small luggage. The beds were also very comfortable. I did not like the view of the next building's wall outside my window. I also didnt like the pathetic and dark lighting in the room that made me feel like i was going blind. More lights and brighter lights are needed. The free \"breakfast\" was also disappointing. I've hd better free breakfast options at hotels 1/3 of the price. They only offered 2 kinds of onigiri, miso soup and pickles. There were limited drink options and bad coffee. Basically the teaser poter for breakfast shows every single thing they offer. Theres also a 2 onigiri limit per guest. So... really its a free snack, not really breakfast. For the price i think they could go to a bit more effort.

I usually only report on hotels being extremely good or extremely poor. This place was an anomaly because some things were great, and other things bizarrely poor....
We started off on the wrong foot because check in time was 1500 and we arrived at 1300. They kindly took our bags while we went for a walk and got some food for lunch. When we returned we were told we were not allowed to eat while we waited for our room, but our room was ready if we wanted to go up. They then wanted 1000 Yen for checking in early so went ate our lunch outside while waiting for the last 30 minutes (even though our room was ready?)👎
Later on there was a really nice lady who helped us with our accommodation who was very friendly and professional 👍
The breakfast onigiri was dry and not very tasty- likely made the night prior and orange juice was orange cordial 👎
The room (and rest of hotel) was very clean 👍 but we had to move our suitcase around alot because the room was too small to open it 👎. There was also a kettle and coffee cups, but no coffee or tea 🤔👎.
The worst thing about the place, and reason we won't return, was because of the washing facilities. 2x washer/ dryer combos for the entire building. It took 2 days to get a washer available then our clothes were removed before they were dried because someone else wanted to use it. In hindsight, finding a place or on the street would have been better but we didn't expect staff to be handling my partner's panties before drying... 👎👎👎

Hôtel vraiment très moyen. Les chambres sont très étriquées et mal agencées, même si les chambres sont petites au Japon, nous avons fait d’autres hôtels à surface équivalente mieux agencées. Peu de contact avec le personnel car tout se fait sur ordinateur aussi bien le Check in que le Check out.
Les prises pour charger son téléphone au dessus du lit ce n’est pas très pratique il faut dormir avec son téléphone, bouilloire disponible mais pas de thé ni de café fourni donc cela ne sert pas à grand chose.

Le petit déjeuner « complimentary » est vraiment dispensable (2 portions de riz avec des miettes de poisson de bon matin, bon courage). Et l’employée qui nous met dehors sur un ton glacial de la salle du petit déjeuner a 10:00.

En revanche le lit est confortable, la chambre silencieuse et l’emplacement est intéressant. A 129€ la nuit, cela dépanne pour une nuit mais pas plus.
