"I had the best stay ever as a solo first time visitor to Osaka. I even signed up to be a member lol. When I come back to Osaka, will definitely stay here again!
Primary reason I chose this hotel was because I could take the airport bus straight to this location and not deal with the hassle of dragging my luggage and didn't realize how central it was to all the places and restaurants I wanted to visit until I started mapping out my trip. Practically half of the items on my list was within walking distance.
Besides the location, the staff was amazing. Everyone was so helpful and kind! Right from when I got off the bus to after checkout, every interaction I had was great. I don't know much Japanese, but it seems everyone at least knows enough English and other languages too to help make your stay the best.
I stayed in the Superior Economy Double Room, Non-Smoking and it was a great space for the price. Clean and nicely designed. Japan hotel rooms are known to be small, but this one was spacious and I had enough room to unpack my oversized clam shell luggage. I had a nice view from my window, bed was normal, but the standout was that bathroom! The water pressure was A+
Overall I had an amazing trip, should've stayed longer!"
