I had a pleasant stay here. The room size was just okay but it’s very clean. It’s not that far from Dotonbori. They also offer free coffee and 2 pieces of bread for each guest. Definitely recommend to stay here.

A warning to fellow travellers: The photos are far better than the reality. We were so disappointed that we checked out within an hour of arrival, sacrificing our booking to stay elsewhere.
If you are on super tight budget and in a short stay, this might work, but for us, it was a major mistake and not an environment we wanted to spend 7 nights in. Hence making an emergency booking elsewhere and leaving.
While in Dotonbori, it sits on a dingy side street near several brothels. The area felt sketchy. The lobby was disorganised, overflowing with unsecured suitcases from other guests that we had to navigate around to get to the desk.
Upon check-in, we were given only one key for two guests - another red flag for us. Then the locking mechanism for the rooms was frustratingly temperamental, as other guests have reported. This was highly stressful.
The room itself was dingy, tired, and cheap. It felt more like a hostel quality room, not the "vibe" shown online which presents the rooms to be much cosier. There was nothing cosy about the room.
Only one pillow per bed - another disappointment.
Corridors were dark, very narrow, and poorly lit. Added to the seediness of the hotel. There is only one elevator making access slow.
Remarkably, there is no housekeeping for towels; you must drop used ones in a hallway bag and head to reception yourself to get replacements.
We sadly ignored the low review count and took a risk that didn't pay off. Worst hotel I have ever booked.

The bathroom smelt like sewage constantly and the shower curtain was slimy. Shower was also not adjustable and at two weird heights of either hitting you in the face or down way too low.
We had guests next to us that were really loud every night from around 12am- 4am.
Bed was also very small considering it was a double bed but didnt fit 2 people comfortably.
Staff were polite though :)

- Better place to sit down for coffee at breakfast (now it is a bech ourside).
- The rooms' door lock system and the light switches are convoluted.
Strange that rooms are cleaned up every 3 days

Front desk was not super friendly like other hotels we've been in Japan, but that is fine. Breakfast was a help yourself to wrapped pastries. Location was convenient to attractions. Room is nice. Not cramped. Reception/access to elevator is a bit narrow with crowded luggage and cleaning bags. Odd to have view partially obscured by a fuzzy film because the view was nice.
Very good location
