Rooms are bigger than the usual but no bidet and the shower is a bit smaller than other hotels in Japan. The location is suitable if you want to be close but not too close to Shinsaibashi Station (@15min walk).
This was my first stay in Japan. Minutes away from Dotonbori walking! Convenient to trains, shopping and so much food. Staff was friendly. Spacious bathroom. Also provided storage for luggage after checkout. Great price, better convenience! Would definitely stay again.
Room, including the Building is Clean & Tidy
Some Staffs are nice & helpful
Room is "small", but it is similar to others in Japan's cities like Osaka
Location is Good
5 mins walk to Nagahoribashi Station
Noise in Monday morning due to near a construction site
I’m glad I chose this place, great price, great location, clean and bathroom is so nice. Definitely will book this hotel again and I highly recommend this hotel. 👍 5⭐️
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.
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.
The floor in the room was extremely slippery, I nearly fell quite a few times. TV could’ve been bigger. Amazing location. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Here's a rewritten version:
The staff was excellent and very helpful. One evening, no staff members were on duty, and I couldn't access my room because the keypad had stopped working. I ended up sleeping on the lobby couch, and the staff kindly woke me the next morning to help me get back into my room. They opened the digital keypad and replaced the batteries, which solved the problem completely.
The room could have been slightly cleaner, and I had assumed all Japanese toilets came with bidets—I was mistaken about that. Overall though, it was a great value for the price. Thank you!

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The worst hotel I have stayed in during my 40 years of travelling. Zero sound proofing on rooms. Neighbouring room could hear everything, sounded like a illegal brothel. Did not get 1 minute of sleep all night. Room had terrible smell, visited local convenience store to purchase spray to deodorize room. Walls covered in stains. The only positive thin I can say is the staff were very friendly. DO NOT STAY AT THIS COMPLEX YOU WILL BE EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED.
