Great location with friendly staff. The hotel was much older than we anticipated and though it is a non-smoking hotel, the hallways and elevator do have a smoke odour

Clean room. Although smaller than expected. The building is also a little bit older compared to the others hotels we stayed at but area is quite and safe. Near multiple train stations and lots of restaurants nearby.

Walkable from the JR station (15min or take a bus (5min Ride).This hotel is located by the subway station ~2 min walk distance. Everything was clean and convenient (laundry room in premises) but the AC did not work in the room. The hotel is older but it is priced accordingly. It was worth the stay to get around and visit tourists areas in Osaka. For a budget friendly stay it was great!

The pictures and reviews did not properly represent the room we were staying in. The room was incredibly small as was the bathroom facilities which when we've paid quite a lot stay here, we expect a level of quality that unfortunately was just not there. The room that we were staying in was deemed as a Smoking Room, we are not smokers, and this made our stay worse. The room was so smelly, the smoke from previous guests was stuck to all the walls and furnishings which I can't imagine is pleasant even for smokers, maybe consider an outdoor smoking area instead? Staff were very friendly and tried to help where they could but I do feel like maybe there was a small language barrier issue.
