Breakfast provided, excellent service, clean room

The hotel location is considered good, considering the price that we pay and it covers breakfast. It is within walking distance from the main shopping area and is next to the Sakura subway (if I do not remember wrongly). The staff is very friendly. The room is small but clean and comfortable. The breakfast spread isn’t that fantastic but the taste is superb, according to my friend. I’ll definitely recommend that place to anyone who is considering going to Osaka for holiday.

The hotel is conveniently located near Sakuragawa station, which is close to the Minami center Namba. The room was quite new and very clean, which is very important to me. They served a variety of local food for breakfast, and there were Asahi newspaper and manga books in the lobby for those who like to read. What I like the best is their service, very typical Japanese-like professional. Overall, I enjoyed my stay there very much.

nice but...”

price: In relation to other hotels where we were hosted the price is very high and unjustified. Location: The hotel is located in the NAMBA area, a 2-minute walk from SAKURAGAWA Train Station. Around the hotel are restaurants and a very large supermarket. Only one stop from NABA train station, Osaka's main railway station, is a central location in Osaka. The hotel area is very nice for walking and impression. The room, the cleanliness and the facilities: clean and shiny. In the cramped little room, the double bed is very small and uncomfortable. Very small bathroom and shower. It is amazing to see the design of the tiny shower that contains a bathtub, a large toilet and a sink. On the second floor is an ice and ironing stand. The hotel staff: polite but not effective. When I booked the room on the Internet, I asked for directions to the hotel and the staff did not bother to respond to my call. As a result, and despite the proximity of the place to the train station, we found the place after half an hour of running around.

The hotel is immediately outside the Sakuragawa JR and Sennichimae lines, making it accessible. The restaurants and shopping places in Namba are 1-2 stops away although you can opt for a 15-20 min walk, as well. Free wifi and coffee are provided at the lobby. The rooms are generally clean. The bathroom was a bit smaller (which we didn't think possible) than that of other comparable hotels that we booked but overall the room was good enough for us as we spent most days out of the hotel, anyway.

Great staff, not in Nam a but you can walk there, river behind the hotel

The stay was good but the rooms are tiny and the Internet is janky and doesn't work half of the time. This makes it difficult to plan things out for your day and look stuff up. I think for the money you can spend ten extra dollars a night and stay somewhere better. If you don't have the ten dollars and you don't mind walking 20 minutes to Namba then you will be satisfied with this hotel. Not alot of great restaurants around here either. But there is a mall behind it with a great grocery store and full wine selection!!
