Can see great improvement from before over several area. The check-in check-out arrangements are smooth. Hotel staff at the reception is real nice and helpful. She can speak good English and with friendly smile for the whole time. The room are clean and recently renovated. The kitchen and cooking facilities are kept there that guests could actually prepare their meal with the seafood and nice ingredients bought from the Kuromon market nearby. Restaurants and bars are within distance of 5 mins walk. Super nice apartment style hotel with decent quality and good price. Must stay again in this hotel next time traveling to Osaka.
