    This was a unique experience. Since it is a buddhist hotel, you can enjoy a session of guided meditation right with the master from near by temple. You can also try your hand at copying the heart sutra and rewriting the characters using brush and ink. The rooms have an option for a pleasant and calming music. The staff were simply amazing. They were extremely friendly and kind, ready to help with whatever you needed. Breakfast was great, tho it might not be for everyone, as it is exclusively vegetarian dishes due to the buddhist belief of not eating meat or fish. But I can only praise the breakfast and the staff preparing it, they were probably the kindest people I met so far in Japan. Overall a great experience, I would be honored to stay at this place again some time in the future.

    * The breakfast was really great, but it was a vegetarian one. It was made on purpose due to the respect to Buddhism traditions, but I personally struggle without meat

    * Perfect location. Really close to the center * Very polite hotel stuff * A free mediation with a real monk. Something I'll never forget * An interesting national breakfast * The hotel is pretty small and comfortable * One of the lowest hotel prices I've seen in Osaka * The rooms are designed in a semi Japanese, semi European way. Looks really great!

    This was an experience beyond a place to stay. The staff were above accommodating and were deeply humble. Breakfast was great and even the recorded meditation changed me for the better. I’ll keep a look out for the monkey brain from here on out.

    Feels nit-picky but there is a panel to control lights in the room on the headboard. When the lights are off it emits a bright green indicator light. I had to find a way to cover this up so the room didn't glow at night. Also the street noise was a little loud, but easily solved with ear plugs.

    Easy to find and very comfortable room. Plenty of space and super friendly staff.

    The full bed wasn’t quite large enough for two people if you’re used to sleeping in a queen or king. I recommend a room with two beds intead

    The breakfast was so delicious and nutritious. I loved the design of the room too.

    The staff were warm, attentive, and speak good English! The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. All signages and appliances had English instructions, so it was easy to use all the room amenities. The free slippers and the rental pajamas are super nice. And the vegetarian breakfast - shojin ryori - was so delicious and beautiful.

    Best location if you wanna explore Dotonburi and the surrounding

    The size of the bathroom is not my personal favorite but understandable. The bathroom design and feel are similar to one on airplanes but again not a big problem considering it could be the standard set-up.

    We like the smell of the incense they always put on. It is so calming.. In every room they provided guest with book (in english, korean, and japanese) about the teaching of Buddha and I personally enjoy reading the book. The location is also amazing. For us, it's walking distance to the dotonburi (we walk a lot!), and also that famous market near Hitachi tower.

    Nothing, we had an excellent stay here

    The staff are amazing! They were all very nice and so helpful. They helped me manually set up luggage delivery service (3rd party company) as it didn't show our next hotel from booking online. Also, they suggested we could join a guided sitting meditation session with a monk from a nearby temple. This was both in Japanese and English so we were able to learn and enjoy the whole experience. It was in a very relaxed and inviting pace. The monk was quite proficient in English too. I highly recommend it!

    No convenience store nearby, but it doesn't hurt much as it just takes like 5-10mins to a 7-11.

    SUPER Friendly staff. Hotel design is really up to my Zen taste. The vegan breakfast is simple but it gives me a taste of seemingly authentic Japanese morning breakfast. Good location. Free luggage storage service after our checkout as we still stayed in town to visit for a couple of hours. They even provide free amenities in rooms for guests to take home.
