The hotel was in a perfect spot. We loved all the quaint alleys and amazing food options within a short walk. It was close to the train station and a tranquil get away from the hustle. The room was very nice and spacious for our family of four. It was a perfect stay.

The hotel is stunning!!
We were traveling for a very special occasion, and the hotel sent us a special gift that consisted of three sets of chopsticks, cookies, and a voucher for a drink at their beautiful bar. This was very thoughtful, and we really appreciated it.
There were 6 bottles of water refilled every morning and a ton of high-quality facial products, including bath salts for the tub. The location of this hotel is fantastic, close to everything, including the metro.

Great location for Osaka. Many things are walkable and those that aren’t the train station is just a few minutes away. The hotel is great and rooms are good sized. The breakfast buffet is decent

We stayed for 3 nights. I would rate this hotel as PERFECT.
There are a few great things:
- Super quiet. I am extremely sensitive to noise, so big kudos to this.
- Great location. 4 min from Nagahoribashi station, and 8min from Shinsaibashi station. Walkable distance to Dontonburi and Shinsaibashi shopping area.
- Friendly and multi-lingual front desk.
- Clean and spacious room. It's an extremely big hotel room in Japan.
I will stay here again the next time visiting osaka.

Location, The Design is truly lovely! Every amenity is perfection. We are architects and the collection of books in the Library/ Lobby was exceptional. If you value attention to detail as we do this will be the place for you!

The hotel was perfect for our needs. We had 3 beds in our room for our family. It was very clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast selection was very good. Location was also great. One street over from a covered street with all kinds of restaurants and shops

Great place and great service. Check in can take a while when there is a line. They need a better way to do that. Otherwise, very happy with the location and the hotel is modern and the rooms are convenient. You can hear the train if you get a lower level room so I recommend a higher floor if that bothers you.

Train station was 5minutes walk from the hotel.
Though the room was on the smaller side, it was very fancy and had all the amenities and was well kept.
The staff was very nice and helpful as well.
They called us a taxi when we needed to get our luggage to the airport and walk us down and waited in the cold with us for the taxi to arrive. Great service!

In short it was perfect. Station right next door with none of the noise or heavy foot traffic and walking distance to many choices. And of course. Family mart next door was amazing. Great hotel! would definitely stay again.

Hotel room not huge. It was my second time checking in the hotel and they upgraded me to a bigger room complimentary. Area is nice close to subway and many food options. Great place to stay when taking the AirPort Express train to KIX airport. Staff was professional and accommodating

Great location, short travel to USJ. Wonderful staff, everyone is so polite at the hotel. Most likely, I will stay here again when I visit USJ again, granted I wasn't able to use their onsen due to my tattoos.
