The 50 inch TV is indeed a very good perk to have, plus how we can connect our iPad without cable then the express check out is very convenient :)

急に１拍増えたため当日予約しましたが、現地で現金払いの対応を頂けたのでとても助かりました。ちなみに現地払いよりカードによる先払いの方が少し料金を安く抑えられます。立地としては新大阪駅から約徒歩10～15分くらいでしたが、歩けない距離ではないです。また、ホテルの近くにはコンビニやチェーン店がそこそこあるのでご飯には困りません。朝食に関しては朝食付きプランとなしのプランで選べます。設備としては部屋は水回りもベッド周りもキレイで快適でした。また、１階に洗濯機と乾燥機が１台ずつあるので他の利用者とタイミングが被らなければ使用できます。確か洗濯機が500円、乾燥機30分100円でした(どちらも100円玉のみ使用可能)。また、電子レンジや製氷機などもありました。料金は当日予約だったこともあり、カプセルホテルなんかと比べるとやはり素泊まりにしては少し痛い出費でしたが、設備がしっかりしている分しっかりくつろげました。

The onsen experienced was really nice! The only thing my husband and I we didn't like was that our room was smelling like sweat. It looked clean but the smell wasn't nice at all. Other than that the buffet, the onsen and amenity were incredible!

The hotel is located around the corner from the subway station that will take you to all the important sightseeing and shopping areas in the city. There are many restaurants all around the hotel. It is also 7 minutes walking distance from the Shin-Osaka train station. The staff was polite and kept my luggage until check in time. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and temperature was just right for a good nights sleep. The only improvement that can be made is to maybe double the number of washers/dryers from one to two.

Second time coming back to this hotel and stayed for about 4 days. Love the fact it’s so close to the train station and there are so many places to eat around the hotel if you don’t want to go far for dinner. Convenience store less than 5 minutes away. Has a laundry facility (although there was only one set of dryer and washer). Staff friendly and very helpful no matter the time of day.

The hotel was very well kept and clean. It was close to the train and Shinkansen stations. There were lots of restaurants and shops close by. The staff were friendly and helpful. Overall it was a good stay except for the temperature of the room. It got so hot in the room and we could not adjust it ourselves. I was told that it was a central heating system. We had to keep the window open which then increased the noise. Other than the temperature issue, it was a really nice place to stay.

Rooms

Rooms are compact with limited space for luggage, and several reviews cite very firm beds and cramped bathrooms. Temperature control is a recurring complaint due to central heating or weak AC, and noise levels vary by neighbors and hallway activity.

AC is un ajustable, horrible. I stayed around November and they have the entire hotel room control by a master switch set to 85 degrees. Very, very warm in the rooms and seats at night. Their recommendation was to open the window which does not open all the way and in our case it was raining most of the days so we were hot and sweaty inside. It was a really bad experience no matter what they say you cannot adjust the AC only Heater is on in the winter and it is set to very uncomfortable sweaty warm sauna.
