Near JR and Subway (Dobutsuenmae exit 8.) There is a family mart around hotel. Each floor is a toilet for femal. I think it's not enough. There are 3 shower room at the first floor. The bed room small clean but there is some smell.

We booked two rooms this march and I loved this hotel! Easy access to JR line subway, convenient stores are 2-3 minutes by foot and a tourist information centre just located outside the hotel(very very friendly).

value for money indeed and less then 5 mins walk to jr shinimamiya station. plenty of facilities such as microwave, water cooler, central kitchen and big screen tv where we managed to catch olympics live. wifi is great and safety is good. room is clean and toilet decent. the best part is free flow coffee in mornings. its our best...

This is a terrible place to stay especially if you intend to stay for anything more than 1 night. The rooms, while clean, are tiny. The bed is horrendously old. I can feel the springs of the mattress every night and it takes me over an hour to finally fall asleep because I toss and turn due to the discomfort.... More

Been there in the time of earthquake & Tsunami (but no effect in Osaka's area). The hotel is located in good location, just a few steps from JR Shin-imamiya station.
