Easy check in and check out

Rooms were very good but they were dusty and my allergies acted, lots of ammenities and security was good

As a single female traveler, I wouldn’t recommend this property. A few times I was coming back to the hotel around 8 pm some of the homeless men started cat calling me. Thankfully it’s close to the station. Then at night I could hear the other people in the room next to me, police sirens all night (the police station is right next to the hotel), and people shouting outside. I would recommend staying closer to the main area. But the hotel was nice. The self check in and check out was very easy, however I was worried something would go wrong and no one would be there to help. So. Pros and cons. Yes, it’s cheap, but I don’t recommend this place if you are alone.

Great place for the price, walls are a little thin but not a big deal. Close to metro station and convenience store.

the only complaint i have is that the bathroom was outside of the room and shared with the whole floor - and the showers are on the ground floor for everyone. it’s perfect for a short stay in japan and the room had good facilities!

It was a great hotel to stay in, however the area around it is not very touristy and feels at times a little hostile. However, it is near train stations and allows for you to leave whenever.

Nice hotel, nice staff but a bit dirty

Honestly I have never written a review before but don’t want other people falling for the same trap. It’s not as nice as the photos, it smells sickly sweet on entry mixed with trying to disguise other smells, got into our room and the ‘clean’ sheets smelt of smoke and had black hairs through it, the bed board smelt of smoke, and people were regularly smoking outside the vicinity, there was one toilet for a whole floor with tooth paste splatter all over the door and walls, and there was a significant draft that came into the room. The shower is also on the first floor so if you’re a few floors up you have to go past the reception area back down.

Rooms were spacious for the price, showers were decent, sound proofing wasn’t the greatest but you get for what you paid. Also, towels weren’t very clean in my opinion. Everything else was good.

Amazing concept, great for solo travelers

its right in the middle of everything. i had a really nice time staying here. the showering facilities are so clean and i felt very welcomes by staff.they gave me an extra half hour to check out and were very understanding. clean bed sheets and toilets too. amazing value for money.

Excellent value for someone on a budget

very convenient, and perfect for 2-3 nights travel Good location and comply with what´s expected

Amazing spot for solo or group travelers. Walkable distance to stations and groceries.

The place is fairly new and modern. For the most part the place is clean, but there are cockroaches in the room and the common areas

Osaka doesn't always seem friendly. But you'll notice the city's warmth go out of the air as you approach this mirthless budget horror movie set. You're sure to love arriving after sunset to find no staff or signs of life. Challenge your navigation skills with an unlit exterior and an entrance door that swears you should walk into an unrelated apartment building instead. Embrace this rejected Choose Your Own Adventure plotline as you confront the Door of Numbers, sashay past Brutalist Front Desk, and navigate the Sweltering Halls of Claustrophobia. Punch in the right numbers to escape into Room. Enjoy lavish amenities like Bed and Ineffective Air Conditioner. Working on a bleak novel or screenplay? Let this austere ode to darkness and sanitarium-saturated nightmares be your muse. Short on laughs? Ask to cancel your reservation and wait for the excuses to roll in. Maybe you won't be laughing... but someone will be.

I had high hopes for this place but unfortunately just didn’t meet my hopes. The area is very dirty, so many homeless people, rubish everywhere, rats, bugs, and just filth. I did not feel safe walking around at night as a female solo traveller. It was far from central Osaka. Yes there is transit near by but expensive to get around. There is a big donki near by which is nice but other then that not worth it. For the room mine smelled so bad of smoke. I have asthma and I was having a hard time breathing. I wanted to leave it was so bad. It was nice to have a room to myself but would have enjoyed a none smoke room. I texted the hotel but they didn’t get back to me until the last day. When it came to check in, I got to drop off my bags early before check in which is nice but when it came to check out, I couldn’t leave my bags for a few hours. Which doesn’t really make sense to me. All in all I would not recommend this place. No matter the cheaper price. It’s not worth it. I honestly wish I could get my money back.

The only concern is windows aren’t sound proof. Which means any noise on the road will be audible (eg if a car drives by)

I got the single room and it felt a bit small then what I expected but it was still fine for one person. They provided fast wifi for each individual room. The room and the hotel was pretty clean. The best thing about the hotel is the location. A short walk from a metro osaka station and a Jr station, it's really convenient. From my experience it was pretty quiet even at night.
