Originally, this was a small guest house above a multi-storey shophouse (guest house on floors 3 & 4). There is an escalator that makes it easier to transport suitcases. The owner can speak English, so that helped us. The room is small but comfortable, we are happy that even though it is small we can sleep with our children under 17 years old plus the view outside is pleasant. It is cleaned every day, the bathrooms on each floor are shared, there are 2 bathrooms & 2 separate toilets which allows hotel guests to take turns using these facilities comfortably. There is soap and shampoo that can be used together but no toothbrush & toothpaste. Comfortable for a rest room after a day of exploring. Close to the subway station but 10 minutes from Namba station (if you only use the JR pass), also 10 minutes to Dontonburi, lots of convenience stores. The guest house is comfortable and close to downtown Osaka.
