The staff was incredible and super kind. The rooms were super clean as well! I had the opportunity to use the public bath and it was a wonderful experience
The room was very small for two people. Staff was nice and accommodating. There's a laundry with 4 washer/dryer on the 2nd floor. Convenient. Morning breakfast is served daily. Food is tasty and assortment of food.
Overall found this to be excellent accommodation. The only negative was limited laundry facilities, too few machines for number of guests. Room was comfortable and excellent amenities.
Great hotel, lovely people I went on a solo trip for a whole week and they walked me through everything to feel welcomed. food recommendations, spots where to go and shop just ask!! People are super nice and approachable I’ll be back within a month lol
Booked this lodging pretty late, but enjoyed staying at this chain. The location was surprisingly convenient as it was really close to the metro entrance. The area was relatively quiet, but really accessible to the touristy areas of the city. Comfy rooms overall. A nice stay that is easy to travel from.
Decent hotel stay. Not enough dining options very close by, so you’ll need to walk up close to Umeda, but it’s not an issue. Staff were kind, it’s APA, so you get what you pay for.
I try to stay at APA hotels while in Japan as they are always clean and safe and the staff are always polite and professional. This hotel is near restaurants and convenience stores and the Tokyo metro is connected to the hotel so it’s easy to get around. The ramen place across the road is amazing. I highly recommend this hotel to stay at when visiting Osaka.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Everything was fine . Room was a bit small, curtain had a hole in it and was broken. Shower curtain should be replaced. A little awkward taking a step up into the washroom.
Overall a little expensive for this hotel
Very convenient area close to the subway. Staff were super customer service and went over and above what i would expect. I left my laptop in a cab and staff helped me phone the police department to confirm that the in fact had it before I made my way down to pick it up. All this was in japanese as english is my first language.
My worst experience in a APA hotel unfortunately. My room was the tiniest as possible and it got hot. They control the AC so in winter time they won’t allow you to use the cool mode. I had to leave the window open. The is ok but very small. It’s well located by the metro station just downstairs but with no elevator or escalator so let me tell you with your suitcases you will feel it.
I couldn’t experience thr restaurant at the top because it was closes or fully reserved. The one downstairs is good and healthy. All restaurants are very strict on time. Outside of the window opening you won’t have your breakfast. The staff was not helpful with my ac situation and when i lost my receipt to log inin their system…
Standard APA Hotel; however, the single room is smaller than the single rooms in Kobe and Himeji. Cleanliness is good and provided ammenities are good as well. Perfect for solo travelers and duo travelers (packing light).

Absolutely fantastic team and tremendously helpful
Near the subway but far from both dotonbori and Umeda so had to rely on it.
Bed was extremely uncomfortable.
Spa is ok but tiny
The room was the smallest I’ve ever been in and I paid the most for the entire trip. Totally not worth it
