Hotel is located between shin-imamiya station and dobutsuen-mae station. so you can use JR, nankai and metro trains from here. The area is for backpacker and a bit lower level standard of living. You can see a bit of trash here and there, but once you enter the hotel it is totally clean. Speaking of cleaning, my only complaint is the room clean-up time is weird. It can be from 12 pm until 5 pm. When I got back to my room on 4 pm, the room is still half messy. and the staff also forgot to lock my room when they left. they put a door stop, and left the room just like that. so anyone can enter the room easily. had this twice during my 3 nights stay. aside from that, the room itself is spacious. I can open 2 luggage on the floor. the twin beds can be pushed together easily. the breakfast room provides free coffee and tea from late afternoon until night. the check-in and check-out process is quick and easy too.
