It is always about location. It's only a few blocks away from Dotobori Street. And there are subway stations close to the hotel as well. They don't have the usual Japanese toilet though (if you know what I mean), but it's clean, so not a deal breaker at all. The hotel folks are friendly.

It’s basically a youth hostel Staff are foreigners No one seems to know what is happening or when. There 4 nights, no rubbish removed , no room serving, no towels. Doesn’t matter what sigh you put on your door , no one takes any notice or responsibility. On the positive Bed was comfortable and shower had good pressure. Unfortunately that is it.

There is no cleaning service. You have to pay extra. You have to ask to change your towels or take out garbage from your room. Sound isolation very poor.

Excellent location for walking to Kuromon market and Dotonbori! Another plus is that it’s located between 2 subway stations. Would definitely stay again. My only gripe is my room did not have a towel rack/hook.

Find a better hotel

I’m not a picky hotel snob, yet this place really under delivered on so many factors. Laundry list below: - Shower faucet did not drain, so we had ankle deep water while showering - Room was microscopic, even for Japan standards. Not suitable for couples or anyone taller than 6 foot 2 inches. - Bathroom is the size of an airplane bathroom - Cleaning only once every 3 days - Front desk is checked out and more or less clueless. Didn’t have basic information such as where to get luggage delivery service - Worst part: there’s construction noises from 10-6pm, so don’t expect to sleep wel. The only bright spots were its location and comfortable bed and bedding. Highly recommend finding a different hotel. I regret taking a chance on this one.
