No daylight at all in our room and the only window was fully frosted. It got a little frustating after 5 days. An employee refused to help us to book a restaurant reservation? We dont speak Japanese and asked nicely? He just literally said "no. sorry."

Located in the middle of Hankyu Karatsuma and Kawaramachi, it is very easy to travel to tourist attractions and Osaka. It is located not far from Gion Street, so it is a good location for sightseeing.This room is recommended because the price is reasonable, the room condition is good, and it is convenient for transportation.

My friend and I stayed in a semi-double room, and the price was reasonable. The room is small. I thought it was something like this because all I wanted to do was sleep.

After staying for five days, we were still in the room when cleaning was done on the first day. The waiter asked us if we needed to change the bed sheet, but we said no. In the end, even the towels and trash were not changed.We were asked the same question the next day, and we answered yes, but nothing was changed.On the third day, I personally went to the counter and asked for the garbage and towels to be changed, but they were not changed in the end.There was no communication at all between the front desk, and the service staff in the evening had no idea what was explained in the morning, as if it was none of their business. Moreover, only the service staff on the first day could speak a little English and fluent Chinese. On other days, they could not understand even single words and simple time and place. When checking out, it is basically self-service, and the luggage is stored and left aside.The room is extremely small, not very clean, and I have sensitive skin. The only advantage is that the location is convenient, so you can consider it if you have a tight budget. But if you want to live a slightly more comfortable life, be sure to avoid lightning.

I got the room with one. Buddy shared. So I have to admit that it was a bit small. But we only used the room to sleep anyway. That's enough for that. I also found the option of being able to wash on site very pleasant.
