Excellent location
This hotel is well located
for travel into and out of Osaka, as well as all around it, being less than
ten-minutes walk from Nankai railway station. There is plenty around the hotel,
the very popular Dotonbori area for shopping, entertainment and great food
being a ten-minute walk.
positive:
Wi-Fi is ok
Hotels often advertise free Wi-Fi, only for guests to say that the connection is not worth the time or effort. Thankfully that is not the case here: Wi-Fi is said to work just fine.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Small rooms
Rooms in Japan can be quite a squeeze, particularly by Western standards. The rooms at this hotel are said to be small, although guests do not find them particularly so compared to other Japanese hotel rooms and they are still thought to be comfortable and well-equipped.
negative:
Check in and out hours could be better
The times for checking in and out are not the most convenient for some guests, saying they feel rushed to be packed and ready to leave by 10am and preferring to check in before 3pm. The hotel is not flexible on changes.
negative:
Only average breakfast
The breakfast which is available every day, and is free, is
said to be only an average offering. It consists of pastries and breads, and is
said to be not the most inspiring. That said, there are cafes nearby where you
can get something else if that is what you would want.
