Great hotel location. New building with all new equipment 👍 I had my review if this hotel in video#28 on my YouTube Channel (DaiHo Travel). The only downside…. Taxi had hard time to drop off in front of the building. They parked ~100m away and we walked in. But hey we were in Japan! Walking is something we have to do a lot o😇😎👍

Great location if you are exploring the dontonbori/Namba area. This area gets extremely busy so having a hotel literally on dontonbori is super convenient. Also their breakfast options are nice and feature Osaka specialties

Located right in Dotonbori! There's not a day I went back to my hotel before 11pm. You can spend the time downstairs shopping/eating/playing before heading up. Right opposite Family Mart, about 8mins walk to the nearest station.

Needless to say, the location is great and the staff are friendly.The room was quiet, so it was okay.But it’s very narrow.. This is the end of the bed side table and built-in sofa.It was a bit inconvenient to have to buy water.There is no dressing table. inconvenience...Still, it was nice to have space to park the suitcase.Still, you can spread out a couple of medium-sized suitcases.

Really, each and every one is good, the best..Perfect for the main street of Dotonbori! It's conveniently located so it's easy to go anywhere, and if it's your first time in Osaka and you're going without a plan, I definitely recommend this place!! There are all famous stores nearby, River Cruise and Wonder Cruise are close by, and convenience stores such as Family and Lawson are in front.I was worried it would be noisy because it was in a busy area, but it was so quiet and nice ‎(●˙▽˙●)It was nice to be able to bring amenities (shower towels, cleansing milk, etc.) from the lobby!!There is a USB port/multi-wire charger next to the bed.Other codes can be written on the coffee pot above the refrigerator.Oh, if you set the temperature of the refrigerator to high, the water will freeze slightly (the best). What's disappointing is that there is no dressing table. ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Great hotel at a perfect location. Despite being right smack in Dotonburi, it is soundproof and unaffected by the bustling atmosphere downstairs! Highly recommended!

The hotel was very satisfactory and easily accessible.The staff was also friendly.The breakfast is not large, but it changes slightly every day.I was able to eat it without getting tired of it.However, I booked through Agoda with the breakfast option.It seems that the information was not properly communicated to the hotel.When booking through Agoda, we recommend checking with the hotel in advance.
