They do not replenish drinks or toiletries in your room during non-cleaning days. So basically, you'll have to wear the same socks supplied for you to wear in-house for two days. Though you could request new ones from the reception quite easily. The skin care are only be available at the onsen, so please do not depend on the hotel for skincare.

The room is considered spacious enough for two. More peaceful than the other location with lesser crowd around the district. They've a luggage weighing scale in the reception. Love that. First-time guest might want to take note that nearest exit to the hotel is in the tunnel from subway Yotsubashi to Keihen Line.

Nothing that we didnt like.

The location was perfect. The hotel was near 2 train stations but away from the buzz and noise. I love the no-shoes policy, as it makes the whole place so clean.

View out of window was not so nice - office building.

Staff were really nice, particularly the breakfast staff. Nice location next to many convenience stores and river walk. Breakfast was good.

staff was ok.no lotion.

extra clean, onsen was very nice,good location, good breakfast

The bed and pillow are not comfortable at all. The pillow is too thin and hard (I usually love thin pillows)

The location is great. There's also an convenience store next to it. Very quiet due to its noise isolation and the location (business district so it's very quiet at night and weekends). Great amenities (especially the onsen). The breakfast is also very good (especially the tempuras; they were comparable to the restaurant we waited one hour to get in).

The train station exits have closing time! The nearest subway exit with elevator (the rest all stairs) is Yodoyabashi exit 15, which is not very near. There is no view since I only stayed in 3rd floor.

This was the best I have stayed in! The staffs are very friendly and the hotel is very near subway Kitahama exit 21 or Yodoyabashi exit 21. There is a Lawson right below the hotel. The hotel comes with free onsen which opens over the night. There is FREE laundry washing inside the onsen area and drying service for only 100yen. There after, there are free Yakult, ice cream and ice cream waffle to eat at any time. Free soba is only until 11pm. The room is spacious and designed in ryokan style. FULL tatami. Cool.

Not your usual hotel: with tatami floors throughout the entire building shoes are not allowed but locked away upon entrance. you can also bring them to your room with a plastic bag. The room is spacious with modest Japanese style decor. Top floor facilities include laundry, onsen, icream and vending machines. Good spot if you want to experience Japanese style living.

Enjoyed the unsen onsite! Room is small but good for value

Stayed in December 2024

The size of the room was a bit small for our family, and the floor (tatami mats?) wasn't as clean as the other ryokan where we stayed, but we just kept slippers or socks on the whole time.

The breakfast was one of the best we'd had in Japan, included sashimi - tuna and salmon, the usual porridge with Japanese fermented mix-ins, scrambled runny eggs, salad including steamed broccoli, tomatoes, and Japanese dressing, tempura (shrimp, sweet potato, pumpkin, chicken, eggplant), soft-boiled eggs, and pastries. They had to-go cups for the espresso machine, too, which wasn't common (we'd stayed at Hyatt, Hilton, and another ryoken the same trip). The onsen on the top floor was included and fantastic, had a COLD PLUNGE, a face oil and lotion, all the amenities to get dressed afterwards, and the free popsicles (coconut, and vanilla with a chocolate nut coating) were both delicious. I enjoyed a popsicle while using one of the two free massage chairs. Our room was kind of small - somehow I booked one queen bed for three people, but since we only stayed one night and didn't need to fully unpack our two large suitcases (there wasn't room to do so), it didn't bother us too much. They do make you take off your shoes and lock them in a shoe locker, but we always remembered our keys when we went downstairs, so it wasn't a big deal, and I appreciated the added cleanliness it offered. They also make you clean your suitcase wheels through water. When we checked out, we were able to leave our bags, no extra cost, as long as we picked up the same day. I actually found the ryokan to be MUCH less expensive than the other places where we stayed in Japan, especially when you include all the free amenities. A cold plunge in the states would run $20 itself, and the breakfast would've been at least $80 including tip/tax where I live in California.

Such a perfect stay with friendly and cozy atmosphere. The service and the hot spring is SUPER AWESOME! Highly recommend and definitely a must-have stay in Osaka

Stayed in December 2024

The trash is only collected within a certain time in the morning but it's not a big problem.

The hotel is very clean and provides lots of facilities you can use without a fee. The hot spring is great and we like the snacks and ramen from the hotel.

Located at nearby Yodoyabashi mrt .quiet place .

The room is relatively smaller in size but overall is great! We will come back next time. Cheers 😉

Excellent breakfast with good selections. Friendly staff who work diligently to provide guests with great service. Location is quiet from a busy Osaka downtown.

Could have done with another pillow each.

Lovely chilled vibe. Had an onsen and they provided coverings if you have tattoos. Lovely additions such as pro-biotics in the mornings and ice cream in the evening. They had a noodle bar at night which we didn’t make it to. Walking distance from metro

Stayed in December 2024

I wish the amenities were available to those with tattoos - since there were mostly foreigners staying here it seems odd to not accommodate.

Pretty nice hotel, walkable to good spots. Convenient to leave your bags at before/after

Stayed in November 2024

Location wise it’s a bit out of the main tourist areas but close enough to metro station & only a couple stops away from Shinsaibashisuji. Also our sink wasn’t working well pretty much from day 1 but due to short stay we don’t bother asking them to fix it. Also be mindful room cleaning is extra cost but they give you free towels everyday & does empty your bin.

Free onsen, very comfortable & lots of freebies such as ice cream, all you can eat ramen & breakfast (paid) is amazing!! Super friendly staff and love the fact the whole place does not allow you to wear shoes inside so feel super clean.

Stayed in November 2024

Onsen was great, the hotel is near Yodoyabashi Station (Osaka Metro & Keihan Railway) which makes it easy to take the Osaka Metro & also Keihan Railway direct to Kyoto from Yodoyabashi.

the pillow and mattress did not look very clean and had signifiant yellow stains which we could see through our sheet and pillows cases (transparency). It would be nice to make sure that those are more clean

- location was good, quiet but not boring, easily accessible from the train station and for Uber. A Lawson is on the ground floor of the building, very convenient - employees were very nice and helpful - onsen, really nice - as always with this chain of hotels, good equipment and amenities : welcome treats, evening ramen, massage chairs, free ice creams, yakult

Stayed in November 2024

The room is a bit small but it was sufficient for our needs.

The hotel is tastefully done, the staff very kind, and the room very peaceful and comfortable. We also really enjoyed the onsen.

At busy times you might find yourself waiting for the lift/elevator for a while which can be annoying

Friendly and helpful staff that help ship our bags to the next hotel Good space to hang clothes if staying for multiple days

The room size was challenging with two small to medium size suitcases. Its also a fairly basic room. We're a couple that travels pretty light so thats worth bearing in mind if your not light travellers. That said, overall i'd still give the hotel a 9.

We spent 4 nights here and the rooms are pretty compact which makes it challengjng for that timescale with baggauge. The hotel is pretty well located, its quiet and close to some good coffee shops. The Onsen was good with complementary snacks and drinks in the lounge area. We used their complementary laundry machine too which was helpful. Ramen at 9.30pm was a nice touch which we used once. Coffee and wifi good too. We didnt use breakfast, youre in Osaka baby!
