The location was absolutely fantastic! Right in the middle of the main strip with plenty of restaurants and shops all within walking distance! The double rooms are small but this isn’t unusual for Osaka.
Excellent location, just up from the main Dotombori street entrance!
Very clean with necessary amenities. Buffet breakfast included and a lounge that offers free beverages in the evening!
Amazing location. Right by dotonburi with many shopping and food options. Room was clean and amenities were great. Staff was also lovely. Close to many convenience stores and the area was lively even late at night.
Nice modern hotel right off the main area of Dotonburi. The staff were extremely helpful and even rushed to get our luggage sorted for a luggage transfer which was a life saver. The hotel also offers a free self-serving food and drinks bar which we took advantage off. Overall we loved our stay and would happily stay again!
Perfect location - central to Namba and Dotonbori, but on a quieter side street to the main action. Service is excellent, rooms modern and clean, and a great breakfast too. Highly recommend when visiting Osaka for a few days.
The staff was very helpful and answered all questions. The included breakfast buffet was incredible. The size of the room was larger than I expected from a hotel in Japan. The area is very touristy but very convenient near a major train station, shopping, restaurants and bars. It was very easy to get to Kansai Airport from this hotel.
This hotel is in an A location with minute walk to Dotonbori, shopping streets, so many restaurants and sights. And very close to subway and airport limo bus stop. The rooms are small but a comfort double has enough room for luggage. Hotel is very clean. The staff is very polite and helpful.
Really good location and so close to dotonbori. The cleanliness in the room unfortunatley let it down, hair on floor and bath/shower water wouldnt drain properly.
Close to the station, right under the Dontonburi sign, short walk to the shops & station, popular ramen place next door too. Room layout was great (Economy Double Room 1 Double Bed)
Complimentary toiletries and supplies are located at reception (Level 2) if needed.
Staff were great, buffet breakfast was overly diverse (from toast to spaghetti bolognese)
Great location, away from the hustle of Dotonbori area, but still on the same street and across the street. Greta ramen place next door and pharmacy as well if needed. Staff were friendly and helpful, free drinks (juice/ tea) available even though we didn’t pay for breakfast option. Rooms are small compared to western hotels, but location made up for it.
Very convenient location. Right on Dotonbori, 3 min walk to the subway entrance, Lawsons just across the street. Rooms are well thought out. There are small shelves with a hanging area on the wall. Small shelf over the mini fridge with a plug in. Our 24 inch suitcases slid under the bed which gave us a lot of floor space back. Our favorite hotel during our Japan trip, no complaints.
