Great Location and Comfort, with a Few Space Limit
Overall a comfortable stay in an excellent location with easy access to Osaka’s core shopping districts. The room was small—reasonable by Japanese standards—but might feel tight for larger guests (e.g., someone around 6’2”). The combined toilet and bathroom could develop an odor by the third night. On the plus side, the unlimited supply of amenities and drinks was truly unbeatable.

Great hotel. Amazing location, close to Namba station and main Dotonbori streets. Hotel staff is excellent and accommodates English speakers.
There is free beer in the lobby starting at 3 PM, and a breakfast buffet every morning. Highly recommended.

The property is small but it is the only hotel I have been who has free softdrinks and ice cream all day and free alcoholic drinks from 3 pm to nine and free food from 8:30pm toll late. The staff members are the best and respectful.
