Great location, pricey but overall would probably stay there again.
Pros:

Location was great. Free drinks and ice cream was a true bonus.

Cons:

Our original room had a huge post between the beds and the bathroom painfully small. After registering a complaint we were moved to another room that was better - but at an additional cost with no discount offered for the fact the AC UNIT WASN’t working.

exceeded expectations
Pros:

This hotel turned out to be much better than we expected! We stayed for just one night, and the location was absolutely fantastic for exploring Dotonbori and the surrounding area. The staff were amazing, very friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. The room and bathroom were a good standard size, with nice amenities. We also loved the complimentary drinks and ice cream available in the lobby - such a lovely bonus! They also had Ramen during dinner - which we didn't try. We didn’t try the breakfast, so can’t comment on that. There was an additional ¥400 accommodation tax to pay, which was a government-mandated fee rather than a hotel charge. Overall, a great stay and an excellent location. Would happily recommend it!

Pros:

Had a lot of facilities and activities included like complimentary snacks and drinks all day throughout the stay, kimono events and free ramen nights. They had massage chairs for guest use and a great sitting area in the lobby. Minor but also had a laundry room which was very useful. Overall great experience given the price of the hotel.

Unbeatable location and service
Pros:

It’s a second time I stayed at this hotel and I recommended it to many friends.
The location is fabulous, the hotel rooms are a bit small but adequate, clean and have everything you need.
The added bonus the hotel has lots of freebies and it is a bit quirky. It is also a local business and not a chain.

Cons:

I liked everything.

A wonderful and must stay in Osaka
Pros:

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights, and it was a wonderful experience! The staff were extremely polite, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay. I was travelling with my 1-year-old daughter, and the staff were especially warm and welcoming towards her. She had so much fun participating in the daily activities organised by the hotel.
Special thanks to Mayu.

A special shoutout to the complimentary evening drinks, ramen, and ice cream — such a lovely bonus that made our stay even more enjoyable!

The location is fantastic, right in the heart of the Dotonbori area, with the famous Glico sign just a 5-minute walk away. It’s perfect for exploring the area and enjoying everything Dotonbori has to offer.

Overall, it was absolutely worth staying here. I would highly recommend this hotel, especially for families travelling with young children!

A special thanks to the staff for keeping my daughter’s favourite soft toy safe after we left it behind and helping deliver it to our hotel in Tokyo. This thoughtful gesture meant so much to us and made our little one incredibly happy!

Cons:

Nothing
