Used for business trips. Considering cost performance, ☆5. It was a simple room, reasonably clean, and smelled kind of like a love hotel, but I don't have any major complaints. The employees are also friendly. For this price, I can recommend it to anyone who can accept it. The stupid bikes and trains running nearby are noisy, so some people may want to wear earplugs. If you purchase or eat food at a nearby affiliated FamilyMart or set meal restaurant in the morning, you will receive approximately 10% cash back. There are sightseeing spots and entertainment districts within walking distance.

It is located right next to Osaka Metro Dobutsuen-mae Station, in a completely different atmosphere from the Shinsaibashi area. Next door is the Pivot Hotel, and beyond that is the Osaka Kyorei Kaikan. …

Right next to the exit of Osaka Metro Dobutsuen-mae Station. Osaka Kyoureikaikan and Pivot Hotel are nearby.I thought it was a good value because of the simple but spacious room and the convenient transportation, which is just 2 stations from the Osaka Metro, to the National Bunraku Theater. Next time, I would like to stay at the Chuo Group Hotels (Bridge Crown Oasis) that are scattered around the area and compare their stays.I felt that the reception at the front desk was appropriate and good. There is a comfortable sofa in the lobby where you can enjoy a welcome cup of coffee. Amenities, electric kettle, Nestle stick matcha latte/cocoa, green tea hojicha tea bags, etc. are available in the lobby.The third floor guest room is a simple room with no carpet, but it is spacious and convenient. We have everything you need. The only things we don't have are an air purifier, baggage rack, and memo paper.Not only can you use Wi-Fi, but you can also watch BS. Stayed on July 31, 2024

We were here for 3 nights. The room is very large with 2 beds, a bathroom with a bathtub... There should be a large full-body mirror.Vij is located very close to the subway station and JR train station, so traveling is convenient even when it rains. It's a bit far from the center of OSaka.At this price it is very good in Japan, I will stay here if I come to OSaka

I have stayed at hotels Chuo Crown, Bridge, and Oasis, but this time I chose Selene. 3900 yen per night even though it's Sunday! I think it's because of the location that it's so cheap, but it's right outside Exit 1 in front of the zoo, so it's not particularly dangerous. The lobby on the first floor is spacious and you can relax with drinks at the bar for free. The walls of the room are thin, so I could feel the neighbors, but I didn't make any loud phone calls, so it was quiet and peaceful at night. Close to the station and at this price on holidays. There is nothing to complain about in terms of cost performance. I think I will repeat it.

It's close to Shin-Imamiya station and the price is low, so if you're just thinking of staying overnight, there's no problem. However, I think it can't be helped because there are a lot of tourists from other countries, but there are too many house rules. This can also be used in elevators! That's the house rule. What hurt me was the rule that you can't go out of your room wearing indoor clothes. I thought I could just wash my pants at the laundry, but I only had one pair, so I couldn't wash them. That was the only disappointing thing.
