It's actually quite close to the Midosuji Line, so you can walk there and catch a ride instead of changing trains all the time.It takes about 15 minutes to walk to Osaka Castle, and there is a cheap LIFE supermarket in the middle.You can see how far it is on the map from point to point. I think 500 meters takes about five minutes (but it also depends on your personal schedule) for your reference.

2/5
3 week stay.- Newish hotel. Standard APA design.- Internet okay, might cut out a bit, but only once or twice a day and usually resolved in 5 minutes.- Small room. But organised efficiently with space under the bed.- Cleaning schedule is consistent. There is an allotted time of day and it is done within an hour of that.- Bathroom is a new cubicle style (i.e white and not yellowing plastic). Heater behind the mirror to stop fogging, separate taps for faucet and shower.- Staff are helpful with some staff having basic English ability.- AC is a bit dodgy, doesn't seem to fire at a consistent temperature.- Also only one thick blanket. Ie take it off you are freezing and keep it on you are sweating (with AC full blast). Not good for sleeping.- Do not disturb signs are not supported. Which is very inconvenient (see further below)- Has a coin laundry. But highway robbery, 500 yen for a machine that costs 200 to 300 in other hotels. Also the dryer will set you back 300 yen (1.5 hrs needed to fully dry the clothes). 800 yen all up.- Ambient light at night. Leaks through inadequate curtains. Also from appliance switches. For example the bathroom switches have an auto red/green light for on/off: So you have light emitting from the switch no matter what. Same for the fridge. So if sensitive to light, you will have trouble sleeping.- Walls are a little thin, so noise leaks from one room to the next.- Attached restaurant (never tried it out).- Vending machines and a free ice machine.My main gripe is i had a wisdom tooth removed and a bone graft inserted. Wanted to cancel cleaning for a day in order to let myself rest. At this point my face is badly swollen and I am in pain. Situation was such that I could not go out to eat as I am unable to chew: so eat mash potato in the hotel.But the staff are unable to accommodate this request. The corporate policy is too strict and wont allow them to do so (is what I imagine).I think it is very poor that APA does not allow a level of discretion to be employed by their staff.Fundamentally I am a paying customer and a "Do Not Disturb" sign is a very basic function of a hotel.I have previously stayed at other chain hotels in Japan, eg LiveMax, R&B, Art Hotel, etc and they are much more flexible.Overall an okay hotel, but depending on your use case, can end up being a very poor hotel stay.
