Disappointed for the first time
The staff were helpful and friendly as usual across the APA brand of hotels. They were very efficient in assisting customers to check in and check out. Location was handy and easy to go about. But there were cockroaches crawling on the desk and mirror at night even my room was on the 19th floor. This wasn't something I would expected. Some large scale pest control has to be done as this would only be the tip of the iceberg. I was generally satisfied with my past experiences with APA but a bit disappointed this time around.

Nice Stay
Just needed a place to sleep during my solo trip and this hotel was very clean, but kind of small to move around. It was still manageable and I liked how there is a subway station right in front of the hotel so it is very convenient!

My only thing was the ledge to get out of the bathroom was a bit…high…which made me nervous but other than that I have no complaints! Trains and bus were directly in front. Osaka is a 10/10!!

Tiny but convenient
Tiny room with an uneven mattress . The view was outstanding from the 28th floor. Close the a 7 eleven and a variety of food and beverage locations just at few steps away. Subway is literally 10 seconds from the hôtel entrance.

Room has stains everywhere, area has high flow of tourists so the property is pretty banged up from wear and tear. Like the rest of Japan, the staff here are fed up with tourists and are quite short of patience. Good location tho.

The hotel was great! It was cheap, the rooms were clean, everything about this hotel was great. The only thing I’d say that I didn’t like was that the washing machines aren’t that good, and they take 2 hours. One was broken and you need 100 yen coins to do laundry. They didn’t have a machine to give you change either so you’d have to get change somewhere. When we got our clothes they weren’t fully dried but other then that the hotel was great

Very nice looking and affordable hotel. There are some reviews about room size, they show pictures of the rooms and its Japan, if you do any research before coming to Japan then you would expect smaller rooms. Fantastic, better than any hotel in canada that charges 400$ a night I have tried

The hotel is a little further away from Osaka station, but there were many restaurants around the hotel. There is a subway station right next to the hotel too making it easy to get to other areas of Osaka.
