Every time I go, I stay 1 stop near the station near Namba. Namba is a 3-star hotel at a reasonable price and is quite far from the station and complicated, but Dobutsuenmae is on 2 lines from the same station, so Tennoji, Namba and Umeda are all convenient.It was my first time staying at a hotel smaller than Toyoko Inn, so I was worried it might be uncomfortable, but it was clean and had all the necessary amenities.(The only items purchased were serum and lotion and a razor and toothbrush) and the bed mattress was made of sturdy chemical foam similar to memory foam, so it was surprisingly comfortable without any exhaust, and the pillow was also nice because it was a low foam pillow.Towels are exchanged once you put them in the reception basket, and the staff are all bright and friendly.To the left of the reception hall, there is a kitchen, a restroom that can be used on the first floor, and a spacious bathroom, so there is space for luggage and changing. I saw this on the last day, and when it is hot in the summer, it would be good to use it after check-out and before going to the airport.The only downside is that there is a bit of train noise on the side and back of the hotel (Don Quixote side) (I'm very sensitive, so it's probably okay) and it's difficult to avoid the air conditioner's headwinds? Haha.There was also a sink in the room, so it was convenient to wash my hands and brush my teeth frequently.Especially the 12 o'clock check-out is the best!

The CP value is high on weekdays. It is located a 30-second walk from Exit 1 of Osaka Metro Zoo-mae Station. The transportation is convenient. It is only about 3 minutes away from Tsutenkaku shopping street. The equipment and room types are suitable for solo backpackers. There are hot water bottles in the 1F lobby. In the morning There is free coffee, the cleanliness is not bad, and the room is not small. Overall, it is a simple and neat hotel, which should be more suitable for solo travelers.There is a slight smell of smoke in the corridor, and the lighting in the room is dim. The most distinctive thing (?) is that the bed frame really looks like a hospital bed. The shower room is very small and the ventilation is not very good. It feels like suffocation. The hot water sometimes comes out suddenly. Be careful as it gets hotter, not very suitable for family accommodation. You can clearly hear the sound of the tram passing by, and it is not unacceptable because there are double-layer soundproof windows on the lower floor (3F).

The size of my room was the same as in Europe and I was lucky enough not to have accommodation right next to the train tracks. The location is very good. It only takes a minute to get to the subway, which can be used to quickly reach the shopping street and the main train station.

Nowadays, 5,000 yen is a great deal for a single room with a shower and toilet. For a moment it felt like a prison cell, but it's clean and there's nothing wrong with just sleeping there. It's a type that can have multiple outlets, and having it at the head of the bed is very helpful. Good to use again!
