The room is a little too small for us, who is traveling with two luggages. We had to “reconfigure” the room by shifting the chairs and table around so that we can only our luggages and also having the walking room. In general, the room is clean and comfortable. But the facilities are a little outdated and seems old. There are also not enough electrical plugs for us to charge our phones and camera batteries.
The staff are very nice and helpful, and it is always a pleasure to be greeted with an “Ohayo gozaimasu” in the morning as you head out for sightseeing. Overall, it is a great place, expect for the small space.
5 star rating for the location, reason why I recommended this hotel to my friends. Umeda Station is right below the property, while Osaka Station is nearby. The airport buses to and from Itami and Kansai also stop right outside the front door.
