    The room has no place to put luggage, even to store closed luggage. We had to use the couch space to place down our luggage. We found it odd we were not allowed to take home the provided toothbrushes. We had zero staff interaction as they have English speaking guest solely use the machines for check in and check out. The elevator was an issue as it stops on the second floor (the lobby) even if you do not press it. For example if we stated on floor one (the entry) and pressed 9 to get to our room, it would stop at floor two even if no one wanted to get on or off. It would then go back down to floor one if another guest was waiting, then back to floor two and finally up to floor nine. It always took a while to ride the elevator up to our room.

    They provided an array of free amenities available in the lobby, including hairbrush, mouth wash, and wet wipes. We also enjoyed the free morning coffee cart. Rooms can be lightly cleaned (take garbage and provide new towels) everyday and every three days they include making the bed.

    the bed was very hard and the tv did not work- you couldn’t access Netflix despite there being a button for it and YouTube would not work for more than 1 minute without closing the whole application. The area also transforms at night and seems like there are a lot of gentleman’s lounges in the vicinity so a lot of hostesses in the street and intoxicated males.

    Staff were lovely, clean room and lovely lobby, great location close to Public transport

    Nothing, thought it was great

    Great location, staff super friendly, was a little tricky to find the first time time round but other then that it was great. Others have complained on the size of the room, you get what you pay for , it’s functional, it’s clean, and it’s a place to lay your head before exploring the city. And it was not as tiny as others have made out, we had 4 suitcases and they all fitted in with space to open one at a time, not really an issue.

    I was travelling with my fiance recently from Kyoto to Osaka. We were unable to use the bathtub for the 1st night due to drain was clogged. I have seeked for assistance from the receptionist staff, and less than 1 hour the drain clog issue is resolved.

    There is only one thing I did not like: there was no wardrobe inside the room, and this is not comfortable if you have to stay for more than 3 days. The room is a bit too small.

    The Hotel is located in a very nice area of Osaka and close to a Metro station. Very well organized service, nice main hall with a cute terrace

    What I think could have been better would have to be the housekeeping, especially the smaller rooms, but not a deal breaker. More laundry machines and larger laundry space would be better as it can get really busy and some people will have to wait for the other to finish.

    I liked the self-service check in. I liked it even more as there are staff to assist when there's errors with the kiosks (Mainly just incorrectly spelt name). Everything is close, especially the major lines like the Osaka metro and the Express lines to Kyoto. They do the eco-friendly housekeeping thing, which I think is very gimmicky but they always arrange everything and supply new pajamas daily. There is also a laundry that is easy-to-use in the building as it can be controlled and paid via mobile phone.

    I like to sleep on the dark and with this room I couldn’t. As soon as the sun popped out the room was super bright. The only day that I could sleep better was when I woke up at 6:30 AM. That was the worst for me. The bed is comfortable at least. We had the breakfast once at the hotel and I didn’t like it. For the price it was you get not enough food. We had just 2 options of set menu (Asian and western)

    The location is really nice. The subway is around 5 min but we ended up walking a lot. It’s super close to Osaka station and from an area with a lot of restaurants, clubs and bars (but it’s super quiet). The room was an okay size. But the restroom was weird. Half of the sink was inside the shower but the shower is really good with a good water pressure and temperature.

    The hotel could do with more lifts. I had to wait 15 mins for a lift going down at check out time as I was on a lower floor so lifts were already full when they reached my floor.

    Others have commented that the rooms are small, but we stayed in smaller rooms in Tokyo and the room was well designed. The Japanese breakfast was great.
