SAKURA SANDS HOTEL SHINSAIBASHI

The room itself was quite spacious for the centre of Osaka. I liked that it had a seperate bathroom and toilet. The aircon worked great, there was a washing machine in the room, utensils and crockery are available ans the location to Dotonbori waa just a stone throw away. The area was also quite at night. What I didnt like was self check in. When we checked in the computer would accept our booking, along with another two couples. There is a phone.number to call, but if you dont have a global sim, then thats useless. Luckily one of the other couples was Jpanese, so was able to call the owner. The owner only spoke basic english. She provided a code for our room door, but the lock did not always recognise the code, so could be trying quite a few times to get in. The bed in our room was rock hard, and oneside was broken in the middle. For the price and location and a short stay, its not bad, but could be better.

清潔面で難あり

Great location; close to train station and shopping. In-room washer (no combo dryer) was convenient. Staff is friendly and helpful. Hotel is apartment conversion and could be better maintained/presented: Entrance area was cluttered with dirty laundry carts; Room was quite dusty; vents need cleaning; toilet and shower fans were malfunctioning. Seems more like a small-business/family-run operation than a large-chain with standardized quality control and processes.

This hotel was dirty not properly swept the bed looked like it was half way made. It smelled inside our room upon arrival. The pictures of the hotel room doesn’t look like the rooms at all. Will never recommend or stay at the hotel ever again. Stay away from this hotel.

Good very good
