When I checked in and entered the room, there was candy trash on the floor near the bed.If it was just that, I could still forgive it for the low price, but the shower curtain was full of mold and I was horrified.It's so full of mold that there's no way you'll notice it, so why is it left unattended?I can live with a bit of age if the price is low, but I don't think I'll stay there again because the lack of hygiene is disgusting.

The location is close to Sakuragawa Station. It is very convenient to go to Namba Station. There are supermarkets in front and behind where you can buy fruits and biscuits.

Overall I'm pretty satisfied.It can't be helped that it's a mess, but it hasn't been cleaned everywhere.I thought that the parts that were in disrepair were usually repaired, but...Some of the sheets were torn, and when I opened the window, I found trash from the previous user.The pot still had debris from the previous user making ramen, and it wasn't cleaned properly anyway.I think the bed was clean, but there were so many other things that made me wonder if it was dirty somehow.Overall, I don't think it was as good as other people have written.

I think the only good thing was that there were two beds (futons) in the Western and Japanese rooms, but other than that it was really bad.The temperature of the shower water changes from hot to hot, the shampoo and other amenities are of poor quality (shampoo made my hair creaky, it didn't lather at all, the toothpaste tasted strange to me, and the water area was as expected) There is dust and dirt in the corners of the room, you can hear a lot of noise from other rooms (especially the sound of doors closing and banging), the toilet was very noisy at night. There's no lid, the air conditioner is dusty, the futon is torn, etc...When I came to leave my luggage in the morning, I was guided to my room instead of going to the front desk, and I had to leave my luggage in the room. It seems that people who were before check-in were kept at the front desk, but I wonder why...The customer service at the front desk is also very poor and sloppy.The hotel itself looks like a converted condominium. balcony lolIt's a bit of a walk from Sakuragawa Station, but the convenience isn't bad, so the location is okay...I guess I made a mistake in picking it up, but I should have paid a reasonable amount for it, so this is very disappointing. I felt terrible even though I was on a road trip for a live performance. A few months ago, I stayed at a hotel in another prefecture that was about 2,000 yen cheaper, but it was nicer and more comfortable to stay there.I think there are other good hotels at the same price or cheaper.I looked elsewhere. It's better. I think it's best to only stay if there are no other places available or if you just need a good night's sleep. I will never stay there again.

It was so cheap that I wondered if the twin room was worth this price. I've stayed at Livemax hotels a few times, so I was familiar with them. The best feature is that each room has a microwave.The room was spacious and the bathroom was large enough. However, because the hallway is open, it is very dirty. The building appears to be old, but it doesn't seem to have been maintained meticulously. There is no bidet, and the air conditioner is noisy. There wasn't even hot water. However, I stayed in another room at the same hotel and there was no problem at all. There was also a bidet. Looks like you need some luck in the draw.

I booked a non-smoking room because I don't like smoking, but the room I entered on the day smelled of cigarettes and even had an ashtray.When I checked with the front desk, I was told that they were fully booked and I couldn't change the room. I stayed there for one night, but the smell was so bad that I couldn't sleep properly. Normally, I should have told them about this before I stayed, but since the staff are foreign, I don't have much communication with them. Dryers are also dangerous because they can break and create sparks, and they are difficult to open and close, making them impossible to use properly. I have to say that this is the worst hotel even considering the low price.

Although the hotel room is small, it is tidy and not too dirty.But I had a supernatural experience just living on the third floor.After checking in, I noticed there was a man's strange noise at night. Although he spoke Japanese, I don't know what he spoke, but it was very scary.The characteristics of this room are that the air conditioner in the room is noisy and the toilet has no board.The room number is an odd number

There was no notice in advance that the room was being renovated, so I couldn't use the coin laundry, and the air conditioner's louvers were broken, so cold air hit me directly. The water pressure in the shower was weak and it turned into water halfway through.
