S 道頓堀 ホテル なんば (大阪市)

This hotel is located right on Dotonbori, so lots of excitement, and lots of places to eat just steps away. There was a place making fresh melon pan just outside the door. It's a party street, so there is some noise at night. Bring ear plugs if noise bothers you -- though I found I got used to it, and it didn't bother me the second night. There is no staff on site, more like an apartment. The place was spotless. No luggage storage, but we found a luggage storage place very close by on Dotonbori. There appear to be a few of those. One suggestion for future guests is that the hotel email directions to the hotel in a Japanese format to show to the cab driver. Our cab driver did not understand where we wanted to go and dropped us at the Dotonbori Hotel (not the S-Dotonbori), about a half mile away. We ended up walking the rest of the way, but it was a fun and interesting walk, I have to say. At first we couldn't find the place to enter the code for the elevator -- but once we lifted the lid to the keypad (duh!), all was good. Bathtub is deep, but not easy to in and out of. The shower is good. There is a washing machine, which was easy to use if you follow the instructions. It was a nice, clean place in a great location. Beds were very comfortable. Train stations/subways (several choices) are a couple of blocks away. I would stay there again, definitely. Very fun location.
