Hotel S-Presso West

Dear San Franciscan, Never come to Japan in August unless you think you can adjust to 35 C everyday or 90 F ish. A 10 min walk from Namba station dragging the luggage is a big ordeal and was relief finally as we entered the apart-hotel. The AC are blasting cold, it has in room washing machine. Dryer, there’s a remote inside the showe room where you can program to dry out for 7 hours with door closed. Buy your own laundry detergent if not enough. There’s a Laundry mat if you want to do it old school, but I’d stick to what we have. Bed was good, it wasn’t the firmest but it is just enough. Apparently there’s another remote to adjust the water temperature by the tub, but since it is not in English and lack of instruction, I did not bother to learn. Very spacious for 3 people. Bring your own towel from 1st floor, leave the used one, by the bucket. I had a luggage sent to S-Presso West, and they helped to put it inside. Check in at 3 pm and Check out at 10 am. Free breakfast to S Presso Central - 5 mins walk, booked as you entered the lobby and talk to that Alexa thingy. Lastly, the keeping of the luggage by Sakimoto Building helps us to explore the city before checking in and after checking out, as long as you pick up before 5 PM. Yes due to we do not want to push heavy items and get sweaty before going to airport, we called UBER and asked to be drop off by Sakimoto building. It is doable and the math is mathing if you share cost with 3-4 people.

Contactless check-in and check-out. We stayed awhile so they cleaned numerous days over the course of our time there. It was quiet in the building and secure. I stayed with my family and I would stay there again.

Not sold on check in procedure, QR code part is ok just not the talking to someone over the speaker. Hard to understand. Place was awesome after I figured out the room. Obviously different country everything is in different language. Google translate helps tremendously. Alot of space in room lots of outlets small beds but all beds are small in Japan recommend maybe bigger blankets at least for taller guests. Walking distance from train station and to major shopping district free buffet breakfast at central location which is about a 2 minute walk..no real complaints will stay again 5 stars
