While I wouldn’t say it was a luxury stay, the apartment had everything we needed including a washing machine and great air con. The beds were ok, even the sofa bed was pretty comfy when made up. We were a party of four adults and an eight year-old. We’d definitely stay here again.

The area was super busy and constant with people and traffic, however the room was still pretty quiet. Everything was accessible; we found at least two supermarkets, lots of laundromats (we used to dry our clothes), and endless convenience stores. Lots of things to do and see within walking distance, including access to train stations. We felt quite safe at all hours of the day and night, and didn’t see or hear anything to cause us concern.

We’d completed the pre check-in so on arrival it was easy to get our key and room number.

I'll start this review by saying that I would stay here again but there were a couple of annoying things about the property. It's obvious we stayed in one of the apartments that others reviewed because we had the squeaky floorboards in front of the toilet door. The toilet was really tiny, so if you have mobility issues, this is probably not the apartment for you.

We also had the people upstairs from us continuously moving chairs all night. We were so tired we mostly slept through it, but a couple of times when we got up at 2am, the folks upstairs were still moving around.

Check-in wasn't as smooth as it could have been but the staff were super responsive and helped us get in. We didn't have any of the problems with mold or smelly drains that people mentioned below, but if you're going to stay in a Japanese apartment, you should make yourself familiar with all of the things that are different in bathrooms especially.

Property was in a great location and handy to get around. The only negatives I can fault is a noisy upstairs neighbor who seems to move furniture around at early hours and late evenings - which is quite annoying when trying to get to sleep. We missed 2 nights due to typhoon and flight delays property was kind enough to refund and very much appreciated. A detailed clean/dusting would make this an immaculate holiday stay.

Mold in bathrooms. Stained sheets. One bed you can feel the springs in your back. One bed you sank into the middle. Lots of younger people because of the cheap price and thin walls so you can hear a lot. It’s unmanned so no one to complain too unless you want to go upstairs to their room.

Love the space! With a family of 5, there is ample room for everyone and space for 4 big luggages and loads of shopping bag. I stayed for 12nights, and tne only con was that there isnt room service where the rooms get cleaned. It got a little dusty after a week and got a bit uncomfortable.

But overall, great place and location. We enjoyed it.

4 out of 5 stars.. 7 of us, just got out of the airport and tired, Check in part was all done online, so internet access is a must, mine internet was slow so check in didn’t go as smooth.. But when finally got in, the room was as described, walking distance to Dontobori and Fish market..Communication was done online. Would stay again..

Cons: check in didn’t go as quickly, specially when your tired from long plane ride

The property is located centrally to Dotonbori area and easily accessible to the subways. The area is safe and quiet. With a family of 4, we appreciated the separate rooms for toilet and shower. The kitchen was well equipped for light meals. NEGATIVE: One of our duvets had multiple blood stains. We asked for a new blanket but none arrived. Also, their communication was not timely and when we asked for a new blanket, they asked for pictures to be sent. However, the email address they sent was not useable and even though I requested a resend of their email address, there was no reply. Apartment was generally clean although a bit dusty. Unfortunately, we take HYGIENE AND HEALTH SAFETY very seriously, especially given the blood stains were quite fresh looking. The property did not take care of this matter and we were very displeased with their poor communication to correct this matter.

I love to recommend this place.
It is a little far from nanba station(20minutes walk)
But is pretty good place to access DOTONBORI(Tour place in osaka)

It is really nice and clean. 5 people are staying in here, it was very nice. I recommend this place, specially for Family.

The check-in process was highly inconvenient as there was no staff available for assistance, with the only instruction provided being to scan a QR code for check-in. The room was extremely dirty, with hair scattered all over the floor, black mold present in the sink and shower area, and a sewage smell emanating from the toilet. The toilet cover was dirty and covered in dust, while the walls exhibited yellow and brown stains. Additionally, all three comforters were yellow, and the shower towels had a noticeable mildew smell. Upon check-out, we discovered a bag of clean towels left outside our room in the sun, inside an IKEA bag. I HIGHLY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.

Man we loved this place. It was the perfect location to walk to Dotonbori in 5 minutes and also about the same distance from the subway station. It's on the 8th floor, so it's quiet with a good view. It's also very spacious; you won't feel cramped, and I like how the toilet room was far from the living area and a separate room from the sink/shower area. Tons of options for convenience stores, restaurants, and of course the world-famous Dotonbori district. I would not hesitate to stay here again next time we are in Osaka.

Nice place near Dotonbori. Perfect for tourists. We were a family of 6 and fit comfortably. Metro stations were nearby and lots of shopping and food options.

Floors near the bathroom were a bit creaky, which disturb d my kids sleep in the middle of the night. I wish there were drawers to organize clothes in. We mostly had to keep everything in our suitcases.

Other than that, it was a pleasant stay. It’s not a 5 star hotel. It’s a comfortable and safe place to stay after a long day out. Overall it was good and I’d recommend it.

It was a pleasant stay! The property was just right for our family’s accommodation. Clean, and the necessities are provided for. Walking distance to shopping areas and local restaurants. Easy non-face to face check-in and check-out. The only thing I was concerned about was security, but we had a great time during our 2 nights stay.

Poor check-in & check-out system!!
We missed our flight due to the complicated and confusing check-out system. We faced technical problems during checking out the room via their system and called the customer service, but the service lady took forever to help us with absolutely NOTHING!!
So we missed our flight and Had to buy 4 new flight tickets to fly back home.

We live the room in itself. Checking i was farely easy but we wish the metro was closer. The metro system was 15 min walk so it was quite far. But there are shops along the way so it wasnt that bad. Its very close to Namba and Dontonbori district. We felt safe walking at night. Lots of tourist will be staying near there. At night gets crowded everywhere. Lots of good places to eat. Taxi passes by alot so if you dont like to walk then you can just get one. Its aroun 7- 10 yen depending on where you going. Overall we had a good time.

與其他同類型酒店相比，check in手續比較繁複，處理垃圾方面相當不便，垃圾分類有特別多規條，又不是每天有服務員處理，其他同類型酒店都可以分類好放在房門外，有服務員收回，而這家是沒有的，房間內的整潔程度相當一般，衣櫃亦沒有掛衣架可以掛衣服，唯一賣點只是交通方便，地點方便

Demasiado ruido proveniente del piso de arriba, los departamentos tienen duela en mal estado que hace ruido como tambores al caminar.
La ubicación es buena, la limpieza promedio, manchas de moho en el baño.

1.隔壁燒烤油煙味很重即使完全關閉窗戶依然會很明顯聞到
2.附近到半夜2點依然會有人在外面喝酒嬉戲
3.樓層間隔音不好常常半夜還很明顯聽到人員走動跟拖行椅子的聲音

어른5 아이2 총7명이 숙박했습니다
도톤보리 시내에서 가깝다 생각하여 예약했는데 생각보다 꽤 먼거리여서 동선은 좀 불편했어요
그래도 근처에 훼미리편의점이 있어서 다행이였고
체크인 하는 방법은 처음엔 좀 어려웠지만 메일로 안내가 와서 차근차근 보면서 했어요
바닥에는 생각보다 먼지가 너무 많았고 청결상태는 그렇게 좋지 않았어요ㅠㅠ 그리고 침대이불도 겉보기엔 괜찮지만 자고나면 몸이 가려웠어요
그래도 수압은 쎄서 씻는데는 괜찮았습니다
화장실이 숙소 안에 있다는 점과 에어컨을 자유롭게 사용할수 있었던 부분은 맘에들어요

2023年底大阪家族旅遊6天5夜，都住在IKIDANE。附近就有兩個24小時超市，買食材回來煮很方便，重點是冰箱算蠻大的還夠放。交通方便，地鐵站很近，走路就可以到心齋橋鬧區。
是家庭式的好選擇。
