It was very «high end», more so than we expected. Our room on the 8th floor was lovely and spacious, with 3 beds (we travelled with our 15 year old son) and a sofa, couch and table. There is a Tully’s Coffee in the lobby, and a Family Mart right in front of the hotel. The hotel is in between 2 Metro stations, and only a few blocks from Osaka Castle...

Loved the rooms, which were quite spacious, and the bathing area was also very spacious. Staff was helpful. Loved the bed comforter; it was very warm.

What could be improved: There are no lounge chairs for sitting while waiting for friends, as does western hotels.

Spacious room and bathroom, convenient location to transit, lovely rooftop spa. Easy check in and check out. Friendly staff.

Dean from Australia (29 October 2024)

8/10

Short walk to trains, large rooms, short walk to great restaurants, in a business district so you don’t feel like you are in the middle of a tourist trap.

What could be improved: Onsen is busy all the time, business men in the area have memberships so it will be packed most of the day with loud people.

9/10

The facilities were excellent and the staff were very helpful. The onsen was very enjoyable and not crowded which made the experience much more pleasurable.

What could be improved: The location was not too close to many attractions. The rooms were smaller than expected.

Denis from Norway (17 September 2024)

9/10

i liked the onsen, the location close by train station, and it had a excellent suishi and curry place very close by, also a seven eleven right outside if u want to have some protein drinks.

What could be improved: hmm. maybe i should have rated it 9, but the gym was somewhat lacking, no pull up or dips.
