Positive Reviews
positive:
Close to public transport and attractions
Guests liked the closeness of a subway station and a main train station, making it easy to use public transport to reach attractions which are further away. However, many places can easily be reached on foot when walking. The neighbourhood has restaurants and convenience stores, making it easy for you to get any necessities covered.
positive:
Good value rooms
The rooms are a bit aged and could do with an update according to guests, but most described the rooms as clean and well appointed though small. The rooms are a very good value for Osaka, making this a main reason for guests to lodge here. The free Wi-Fi works well.
positive:

Guests who booked the breakfast buffet enjoyed the diverse choices offered for the price. From hot to cold dishes and a variety of drinks, the breakfast will leave you well nourished for a busy day in town.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Red light district
Guests found the nearby hostess and strip bars to give the neighbourhood a certain vibe. However, many have remarked that this does not mean that the neighbourhood is unsafe.
negative:
Noise is possible
Guests often encountered noise from the street or from other guests at the hotel. It might be a good idea to bring some earplugs with you if you are sensitive to noise. You could also request a room on the top floor which will cut down on foot traffic above you as a noise source.
negative:
Don't go here for the view
Guests did not like the view offered by the rooms, which usually features the side of another building. This might not be a big issue if you spend your days out of your room.
