"Very convenient central location, connected to Osaka-Umeda station, and an easy train ride from anywhere in Osaka. Great views from upper floors and very quiet. Rooms are tiny and a bit cramped, but have all the amenities you’d expect. Laundry is a pain if you need it as they provide just 8 machines for >500 guests leading to a lot of frustration and waiting. Also, the lobby can get quite crowded.
Fun notes: there is a mall in the building, including multiple sporting goods stores, multiple clothing stores, two food courts, four Starbucks locations, even a Burger King and a McDonalds—though the local food is much better. We also saw two idol groups doing meet and greets and performances on the second floor near the Umeda station, a boy-band one evening and a girl band another evening."
