Great location
For a budget hotel it was clean, spacious, easy checkin and centrally located. Great location so that its easy to travel around the city. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. Would stay again
New facility, very clean and modern.
15 min from the station cutting through the park (under construction) and 3 min from Umeda Sky Building.
Highly recommend.
Close to station and close to the best sushi we’ve had yet! The room was good side for our family of 4 and the beds comfortable, but the checkin was little frustrating. Once we figured it out then easy to get in and out. Recommend!
Very clean and comfortable. It is a bit of a walk from train station so if you have a lot of luggage, I would think again. The room was quite large and had ample space
Not far from the main stations at JR Osaka. If coming from Kansai airport, highly recommend airport Limousine. Very close to Osaka sky building. Whisper quiet neighborhood, warm for night time sleep. Self check in is slightly tricky but check out is very simple. Would recommend this place for families, room size is very reasonable.
Great property! Room is spacious for 4 people. Property looks new and updated recently. Coin laundry on site. Easy self-service check-in. Good location, about 15mins walk to Umeda Metro/JR
Apple Maps may take you to the station after Umeda. Don't fall for it. Just exit Umeda station and it is a nice 15-20mins walk to property.
It’s a little distance from station, but still walkable. Its about 5mins walk from convenient store, grocery store and yamato transport will help out who traveling around Japan and saving costs.
Negative part is hard to figure how to get in the facility for check in, and washer is using all the time. They should add more washer/dryer.
New building with some high tech amenities (ceiling mount projector; projector is not English friendly, not Apple friendly (for cast). But there is also a TV that works fine as well. Wash/Dryer single unit (no need to take out wet to dry).
Open sink concept.
Large space, quiet.
There is no staff on site so it is a self check in and check out service and they ask you to scan each guest passport and to take a photo. I understand the security reasons for it but it was a bit of a hassle after a long day of traveling. One other thing I was not fond about was the toilet and sink and shower were all separated and the sink was open to the bedroom. Other than that the the space is nice. The TV projector is cool and plenty wall outlet for charging electronics. I also wish the hotel offered umbrellas for borrowing.

Very nice and clean. The room was spacious by Japanese standards and it was nice for a family of five with teenagers. It’s a staff-less hotel so no refreshing towels or daily cleaning. There are washers/dryers on site as well but guests were leaving their clothes for extended periods, long after the wash is done, so it was a little difficult to use. Luckily there was a laundromat a couple of blocks away. Location is residential and not a whole lot of food options within a 10 min walk. Overall it’s a nice hotel. Would stay here again.
Nice property. Checkin is complicated as it’s self service.

No clean towels until 4th day
Was disappointed that they only offered to clean room and give you fresh towels after 4 days. Had to share 4 towels among a family of 5 for 4 days for a week long stay

Disliked: Communication
The reason for my low rating is because of the unmanned front desk. Checking in was long and challenging. They have a video call support line but the experience is unpleasant as others were trying to check in and I could barely hear/understand them.
