The location was convenient, but unfortunately quite noisy. While the staff were generally kind and helpful, they weren’t able to assist us with ordering a taxi due to hotel policy, which was a bit frustrating. The biggest issue, however, was the condition of the room. The carpet was heavily stained, and the entire room smelled like an old vacuum. Even after using room deodorant, the odor remained very unpleasant. Sadly, I would not choose to stay here again.

The hotel was extremely busy and whilst the staff were helpful and efficient when approached they seemed under more pressure then at any other of the hotels i stayed at in Japan. The room was small as expected but what I didn’t expect was that 11 year old was treated as a child which meant for this hotel she was not allocated any bed at all and hence for a family of 4 we had a room with 3 beds! The bathroom on the other hand was very spacious, including a real separate wet-room and with all the toiletries provided (as expected). The hotel has a roof top terrace which is great for views but you are not allowed to drink or eat at the terrace. Breakfast restaurant is on 15floor with great views over Osaka. Very close walking distance to train station and just outside Kuromon market. Great location if rather busy and noisy. Overall, reasonable value for money.

Excellent Location. Go elsewhere for breakfast

This was my third and fourth stay at the hotel, and I have to say, the location remains excellent. It's conveniently situated with easy access to a rapid train that takes you directly to the airport, which is a major plus. The hotel itself is clean and well-maintained, making it my first choice in Osaka despite a recent disappointing experience. On this visit, I decided to try the breakfast for the first time. While the choices were acceptable, they weren't great. However, the real issue came after breakfast. I found myself queuing for 35 minutes for the lift just to get back to my room, and the staff did nothing to assist us during this frustrating wait. Guests were becoming increasingly agitated, and we were not allowed to use the stairs, which only added to the chaos. To make matters worse, I called the front desk twice from my mobile for assistance, but both times I was hung up on without any help being provided. Additionally, I noticed that the hotel switched to central air conditioning in April. I found the room temperature too hot despite the spring weather and had to open the window. Unfortunately, being on a low floor in such a busy location meant it got quite noisy. However, when I returned from Kyoto and stayed on the 13th floor, there was no noise issue even with the window open. It's disappointing to experience such service, especially in a hotel I have enjoyed in the past. I hope they can improve their handling of guest concerns in the future.

I chose this hotel based off the breakfast reviews and I was extremely impressed! Very clean and the rooftop had a see thru floor to see all the way to the street-I should've started my trip on the rooftop before spending so much money on other unimpressed areas! This hotel as in between a few train stations too.

Hotel is in a great location, across from the fish market, and other main areas like Dotonbori river walk. The staff were very friendly and accommodating during my stay. My only criticisms of the hotel were the lack of breakfast choices, although these were changed daily during my stay and the noise of other guests in surrounding rooms was very noisy and disturbing from a sleep perspective as the walls were quite thin or offered poor soundproofing.
