Wow, where do I even start with this hotel. I travelled around the main/bigger cities of Japan for a few weeks and expected more from a hotel in Osaka. This place was extremely no frills – okay, fine. The room was small, the bathroom layout was annoying (no electrical outlet…. so where do I blow dry my hair??). The room itself was dingy and old, the refrigerator needed to be switched on and switched off sometimes randomly, even if I had something in the fridge. I expected most hotels to have the luggage forwarding service, but the front desk guy looked at me blankly until I specifically asked for Yamato. He said there were a few locations nearby, but they (the hotel) didn’t do it. Most nights I could hear loud conversations in the hall, sometimes shouting. It was a 15 minute walk from the nearest subway which was fine, but honestly I have nothing good to say about this hotel. Worst place I’ve ever stayed.
