My travel purpose was swimming in indoor pool in Osaka. That's whay I truely love this hotel's location.
It takes just about 6 minute by walking to the local swimming pool.
Even the bathroom is not that big enough for big guys, I really enjoyed this hotel.

Overall, the stay was good. The location is not too far from the main areas. The room could have been cleaner; the carpet wasn't very clean or vacuumed. It is a small space, good for one person.

Pretty average stay. The carpet was very stained and the room was not the cleanest. Can’t see out the windows or open them. Small room. Very close to two stations so good for getting around and only 15 minutes walk to America Mura, 20 to dontonburi. The app worked well for check in and check out. Can store your bags before and after your stay.

Great location. 5 minutes walk to metro. 10 minutes walk to Shinsaibashi street shopping or Metro station through Crystal Underground shopping street. Quiet neighbour hood but with convenience store close by. Staff is nice. We have 3 person room with nice comfy beds. The washroom is very small like in a cruise ship but clean. I like to have small fridge. I will recommend and go back again. Great value.

Very good hotel for the price. We had 3 separate beds for 3 people which was nice. The location was also quite good, since there was a train station very close by.
I would give this a 4.5 if I could, simply because the bathroom was very small and also we had to wait 10 minutes after check in time for cleaning to finish, but those were small things.
