The worst hotel I have stayed in during my 40 years of travelling. Zero sound proofing on rooms. Neighbouring room could hear everything, sounded like a illegal brothel. Did not get 1 minute of sleep all night. Room had terrible smell, visited local convenience store to purchase spray to deodorize room. Walls covered in stains. The only positive thin I can say is the staff were very friendly. DO NOT STAY AT THIS COMPLEX YOU WILL BE EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED.

It is always about location. It's only a few blocks away from Dotobori Street. And there are subway stations close to the hotel as well. They don't have the usual Japanese toilet though (if you know what I mean), but it's clean, so not a deal breaker at all. The hotel folks are friendly.

It’s basically a youth hostel Staff are foreigners No one seems to know what is happening or when. There 4 nights, no rubbish removed , no room serving, no towels. Doesn’t matter what sigh you put on your door , no one takes any notice or responsibility. On the positive Bed was comfortable and shower had good pressure. Unfortunately that is it.

There is no cleaning service. You have to pay extra. You have to ask to change your towels or take out garbage from your room. Sound isolation very poor.

Find a better hotel

I’m not a picky hotel snob, yet this place really under delivered on so many factors. Laundry list below: - Shower faucet did not drain, so we had ankle deep water while showering - Room was microscopic, even for Japan standards. Not suitable for couples or anyone taller than 6 foot 2 inches. - Bathroom is the size of an airplane bathroom - Cleaning only once every 3 days - Front desk is checked out and more or less clueless. Didn’t have basic information such as where to get luggage delivery service - Worst part: there’s construction noises from 10-6pm, so don’t expect to sleep wel. The only bright spots were its location and comfortable bed and bedding. Highly recommend finding a different hotel. I regret taking a chance on this one.

Not the cleanest place Ive been. The walls in the room were dirty and so where the floors. The walls are thin so you can hear people talking in the halls. Has a balcony though which was nice. Also only a 12 min walk from Shinsaibashi Suji Market and Dotonbori.

First off, it's very clean and conveniently located right next to the Dotonbori area, offering a wealth of food and nightlife options. Easy access to two or three different subway lines. Also, the staff is devoted. We had a room that, for some reason, wasn't getting a good wifi signal. It was full of bars everywhere in the hotel, except in our room. We informed the staff, who immediately attempted a few unsuccessful attempts to improve the signal. The next day, a new signal repeater had been installed right outside our door, and we had full bars in our room. An email was in my inbox telling me they had done that. TBH, I thought that was impressively professional.
