It seems like it would be difficult for the front desk to have one operation. The room didn't have a table, so it was a little inconvenient.

Used by family.First of all, regarding the location, as others have written, it is located in the middle of the love hotel area, so the atmosphere is not for everyone. Also, it may have been unavoidable due to the location, but there was a large amount of trash piled up on the wall opposite the front entrance of the hotel, which looked unpleasant and was extremely unsanitary.Next, the room was clean and spacious, but the drain where the hot water was stored in the bathtub was clogged, and by the time I noticed it, the entire bathroom floor was flooded with water like a pool. There was no phone in the room, so I called the front desk using my cell phone and they exchanged me for a different room, but I had to move my luggage myself. Other people's reviews have written about similar incidents, and judging from the staff's attentive response, it seems that this probably hasn't happened once or twice.The surrounding environment is not the hotel's responsibility, but I can't help but complain when I'm tired from traveling and the room is like this.It may be a good hotel for solo travelers or business trips because it is near the station, but personally I would never use it again.

Convenient location just a few steps from downtown Namba. However, since it is located in the middle of the entertainment hotel district, the surrounding area is full of suspiciousness.It was well cleaned and the bed was a good night's sleep. I think this is a good choice if you are looking for a hotel with high cost performance.

I stayed in an economy twin room for 4 days and 3 nights.First of all, the accommodation was much smaller than it looks in the picture, and it was disappointing that there wasn't even room to spread out two suitcases.It still looked a bit wide in the photo, but that was a bit disappointing.The location is right next to Totonbori, so it's great for eating, playing, and resting.For those going on a Kyoto tour, you can reach the gathering place in just 2 minutes by walking.Breakfast was ordinary, but the quality of bread and sausages was good.

At first, the air con was super noisy. After the first night, I found that the desk was wet and all my stuff on the desk got wet. So I looked up and saw water dripping from the air con. I put a mug under the air con and the water dripping from the air con filled up half of the mug. Since I was just staying for 2 nights and I had unpacked all my luggage, I didn’t ask for a room change. I’m upset since something I bought got wet by it. I won’t recommend this hotel.

merit1. It is cheap at less than 40,000 won per night on weekdays.2. It is conveniently located a 5-minute walk from Nipponbashi Station, and is a good place to transfer when returning to Kyoto from the Keihan Line.3. The standard twin room is not narrow and allows you to spread out a 24-inch suitcase.4. Kuromon Market is across the street, so it’s great to visit.disadvantage.1. I walked from Kansai Namba Station and it takes 25-30 minutes. Fortunately, there is an underground shopping mall, so it is convenient to go there.2. The area around the hotel is dark in the evening and there are many motels, so think about it if you have children or families.3. The Wi-Fi signal is weak and disconnects. I inquired at the counter, but was told to just use it.4. Check-out time is 10 o'clock.5. Even when staying multiple nights, towels are hung in front of the door without cleaning and the trash can is emptied.Overall Review - Good value for money, but don't expect too much...
