The microwave is only on the first floor, which is inconvenient.It would have been convenient to have one on each floor, but...The staff's response is ◎

I made a reservation because it's a chain hotel within walking distance from Namba. The room was clean, but the water in the unit bath was backing up.I was satisfied with the large public bath, breakfast, and check-out at 11am.

One station from Namba. Can I add Namba to the hotel name? The front staff does not make eye contact with customers.Is it okay?

There is age deterioration everywhere.The faucet in the bathroom is dripping water all the time, probably because it's not tight enough. The 800 yen breakfast doesn't have any soup at all, so I don't recommend it.
