Excellent location but hotel premises are rundown
Hotel location is excellent - connected to Yotsubashi subway station on the blue line via an elevator from levels B2 to 1, with a supermarket and McD’s across the road. You can walk via underground mall Crysta Nagahori to Shinsaibashi subway station on the red Midosuji Line as well. Free amenities. But premises are old, rundown and smell smoky. Bed and pillow are hard and not very comfortable. Service was brusque but efficient enough, though most of the staff speak limited English. No daily housekeeping (every 3 nights) but fresh towels every day. We got the deluxe room so there was plenty of space and a city view.

Great hotel, and in a convenient area, walking distance from the busy shopping and dining streets. Very close to several late night bars. Clean and friendly staff. But if you're not from Japan/Asia, be prepared for a tiny room. My partner and I were traveling with only backpacks and there was almost zero space to lay out any luggage or clothes. There was a lot of stepping over each other and our things. Taking turns for the bathroom was like trying to pass each other in an airplane aisle. If you don't mind that and don't have big checked luggage, it's a good option.

Great location just a walks away from Shinsaibashi. The escalator next to the hotel connects to the Osaka Metro which also connects to the underground shopping mall.

We stayed in 4 hotels in Japan for this trip and this is the only hotel that the staff weren’t friendly. They’re professional and will help you if you asked but not sure what it is, they didn’t smile or greet you or acknowledge you unless you come up to them. This is the only hotel we experienced that.

For the price it is what is expected! The room was a bit older with carpet missing in random spots but the hotel has all your typical needs for a stay. You would most likely be wandering out shopping and doing activities in Osaka rather they be inside your hotel room long anyway. Super close to station and shops everywhere.

Acceptable hotel room that meets all the basics. The room is small and feels a little cramped at times. Staff were helpful and spoke some English.
The lobby has a side door that leads directly to Yotsubashi subway station which is really convenient. The hotel is located next to Amerika-mura, and about 15-20 minute walk to Dotonburi. There are several convenience stores very close to the hotel. Unfortunately the hotel does not have a coin laundry, and the nearest one is ~10 minutes walk away.

Very small rooms and a bit run down. Could use with some updating. Its conveniently located enough to a lot of things. A lot of the front staff don't speak English but the gentlemens that did during our stay were very kind and helpful when we required a bit of assistance with luggage transport.
