30 minutes from Dotomburi on foot and 15 minutes by metro. Small rooms but they work for what they are, just sleeping.Unfortunately they do not have a laundry but there is one 5 meters away.The hotel is very clean and beautiful.For the price it is really worth it.

Double room is the perfect size for a couple. Even with the 26-inch suitcase unfolded, it is not difficult to pass by the bed.Communication wasn't difficult thanks to the staff at the reception who spoke a little Korean, and the window opened and I was assigned an upper floor, so checking the weather was convenient and nice. I heard there is a large bath, but while I was staying at the hotel, I saw Koreans getting off the travel agency bus in groups in front of the hotel, so I didn't go to the large bath or breakfast. But I heard it was good 🫣

Convenient near the station. Everything was good. The raw eggs at the breakfast buffet were also delicious. I would like to use it again.

The location of the hotel is very good. It is very convenient to take the Nankai Electric Railway from Kansai Airport to Namba and transfer there. It is right at Exit 6 of Daikokucho Station. There are also convenience stores, large supermarkets that open late, and many more nearby. Dining room.There is a public bathhouse attached to the hotel, which is perfect for taking a bath to relieve fatigue after a long day of walking.For breakfast, Japanese and some Western dishes are served. They serve sashimi bought from Kitsu Market for breakfast, and let guests make their own sashimi rice bowl, which is great for a sashimi lover like me!This hotel's breakfast has a limited number of people. If you choose a plan that does not include breakfast when booking, you may want to pay attention. It is recommended to buy a meal coupon when checking in.One night I wanted to purchase breakfast for the next day. After contacting the counter, I was told that the number of diners was already full.However, there are many cafes nearby where you can eat, so it’s no problem to have breakfast in there. I like to have breakfast at the cafe next to Muzu Market.This time I stayed in a triple room, but I would suggest that if there are 3 people staying, just book two double rooms! Because the triple room has an extra bed, it will make the already small room even more crowded, and the room seems to have no table or space for luggage.Maybe because my room is on the side of the road and the room's sound insulation is average, I can hear some car noises in the middle of the night. People who are sensitive to sound are recommended to wear earplugs, but I personally think it's fine. By the way, around 12 o'clock in the middle of the night on the first day I checked in, a group of people passed by on motorcycles that had been modified in a very exaggerated way (Bosozoku?), and the engine noise was very loud.Overall, I personally think this hotel is quite good. It is an affordable hotel, clean and tidy. If you compare the price with facilities, services and location, it is pretty good!

The location was good and the staff were all friendly and answered all my questions.It was great to have a bath. I didn't use the shower in the room, but there was a little slippage around the bottom of the door, so I think every corner needs to be cleaned. Other than that, it's perfect!Also, the place we use for breakfast is closed for lunch and dinner, so I think it would be great if there was a relaxing space for customers to use during times when we are not using it.

It's in a great location, just a 1-minute walk from Daikokucho Station on the Midosuji Line, there are welcome drinks and snacks available, and the room is a bit small, but it doesn't bother me. There is also a large public bath, and the breakfast was very good, with homemade dishes centered on seafood directly from the local market!
