Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is a convenient and budget-friendly option, offering a modern design. The rooms may be a bit small for multiple beds, but they are manageable, especially considering the reasonable price. The location is superb, close to various dining and shopping spots, making it convenient for exploring nearby attractions.
The hotel is conveniently located near Dotonburi and Namba station, providing easy access to all the happening places while being quiet enough for a good night's sleep. The rooms, though rather small for three people, are a good size for a Japanese hotel, and having a separate room for the toilet is handy. Overall, it's a convenient location with cozy rooms and enjoyable dining.
I stayed at the hotel with my family, and overall, it was a good experience. The rooms were clean and decently sized, suitable for families with young children, although they could feel a bit small for three people. The location was fantastic, just minutes away from the train station and Dotonbori, making it convenient for exploring the area. The dining options were varied, but some may find the breakfast lacking in traditional Japanese dishes. The hotel offered connecting rooms, which was great for families with children. However, the bathroom was a bit tight for one person, and the dining experience was nothing fancy.
The hotel offers a convenient location close to Namba, Shinsaibashi, and Dotonbori. The rooms, though small, were new but unfortunately very dusty. The dining seemed repetitive, but the connecting rooms for children were a plus.
The hotel is super spacious and much bigger than other hotels I've stayed at during my trip in Japan. The room had enough space for an extra bed for our family with a kid, which was a great plus. The hotel is in a convenient location, excellent because it's so near Dotombori, a fantastic area to explore. However, the breakfast hour can feel a bit too small for a relaxed morning meal.
The hotel offers clean, quiet, and comfortable rooms, ideal for families with young children. While not as immaculate as some other places we've stayed in, it provides a pleasant stay. The location is convenient, within walking distance to major stations, though breakfast options are somewhat limited. The dining selection offers variety but falls short on freshness. Overall, a good value stay with friendly service.
