We stayed in this hotel for one night. The double room that we stayed in was on the lower floor with old decor (big old ugly flower prints on curtain and on the skirt of the bed). The bathroom and bed were clean although it smelled of cigarette smoke (ask for a non-smoking room if you have asthma or allergic... more

Great location, right in the middle of everything. Good food, bars and shopping. Walking distance to Namba JR and subway, making it a great base in Osaka. Decor in hotel a little dated circa 1996, but hotel otherwise very clean and staff most helpful. Highly recommended. more

We too found it difficult to find at first but I believe this is because the Map on the hotel website shows Namba Station but it is not the 'JR' Namba Station, right next door.... more

We ended up asking a local to help us. He rang the hotel on his mobile, got directions, helped us with our luggage, took us... more

We stayed at this hotel twice during our visit and felt it was really good value for money. We got the room for $115 which included buffet breakfast for 2 (which was also exchangable for lunch vouchers if you missed breakfast - how good!). Our room was a lot bigger than other hotels we stayed at in Japan and had... more
