Greatest service ever! Our son got sick in the night and we needed the sheets changed at midnight. They brought us complementary to the train station upon checkout and offered to keep our luggage while we moved on to Kyoto for 2 nights.Easy location close to the night life area but nice and quiet. Complementary drinks in the lobby while you bring back and enjoy some snacks or breakfast.

The hotel was very clean, all staff were friendly and efficient with outstanding customer service. The lobby was nice and comfortable for us to sit and relax.The equipment in the room was very well maintained, especially the air purifier and Dyson hairdryer-set.The staff offered us to use hotel's umbrellas when we were walking on rainy days.On the last day after we checked out, it was raining. The staff at the reception mentioned that the hotel driver was available to drive us the the OCAT bus station so we can catch the OCAT bus to Kansai Airport. It turned out to be an extra staff to help us carry our luggage, waited for us to purchase the tickets and walked us to the bus gate. We were very touched by his kind gesture. It was indeed an unforgettable experience as we never get any service like that from other hotels. Thank you very much again! Arigato :)We would stay in this hotel again in the future.

The best thing I did while preparing for my trip to Osaka was booking accommodations here. He gave me a business card-like card saying I would get a discount the next time I come, so I took good care of it haha.The location is great because it's near Namba Station, and they gave us a ride to Namba Station when we checked out. The thought of walking for about 15 minutes with my suitcase was terrifying, but they gave me a ride and I went to the airport without breaking a sweat.The staff at the information desk speak good English and are very friendly. It rained on the first day, so I came home with my suitcase wet, so they brought a towel and wiped it off. I was touched..When I came to Japan, I was prepared to not be able to open my suitcase because the interior of the room was really narrow, but here it is spacious. A 28-inch suitcase and two small suitcases (for cabin use) are wide open.They seem to have taken good care of the interior, so it's really clean. There's no dirt on the bathroom tile joints and there's not a single stain on the wall. And since it was a non-smoking room, it smelled good. When the water flushes automatically in the toilet, bubbles come out and a nice scent comes out. The trash cans are also quite large, so it was nice to have two.A Dyson dryer was provided and I liked the quality of the amenities. I didn't do it, but it looks like you can rent a Dyson Air Wrap and a hair straightener.And there is a beverage bar in the lobby, Orange. apologize. vegetable juice. coffee. cocoa. ice. Hot water, etc. are provided, so you can enjoy it comfortably.There is also a free massage chair, which is a must.. I felt like my calves were going to explode after walking a lot, but it was heaven.And they prepared it so that you can plug in a USB in advance so you don't need an adapter. It was very useful.
