Pros:

地下鉄御堂筋線淀橋駅から地下道でホテル迄繋がっており、また中央線にも一駅で大変便利な立地でした。部屋も周辺の同レベルホテルより幾らか広くまた値段もリーズナブルで手入れも行き届いていて気持ち良く滞在できました。お勧めです。

Pros:

I don’t understand how this hotel has such high ratings. I stayed at five other hotels in Japan in the same price range, and this was by far the worst.

Rooms and facilities are basic and outdated. The bathroom is poorly designed—the shower handle is faulty, the curtain is not wide enough so water spills everywhere, and the shampoo/soap are cheap neon liquid. The hair dryer is old and kept collapsing mid-use.

Breakfast was bad. The food quality was the lowest we’ve seen. If you are gluten-free or have dietary restrictions, don’t waste your mone-you’ll be left with steamed mushrooms and a piece of fish. No allergy-friendly options.

Laundry service was equally frustrating. I came as the dryer cycle ended and found staff removing our clothes—still wet. We needed another 30 minutes but weren’t allowed. We had to hang everything around the room and put back in a dryer at 6am before leaving.

No complimentary water in the room either.

Pros:

Ruhiges, sauberes und vor allem geräumiges Zimmer. Tolles Bad. Super Frühstücks-Buffet (von 6:30 bis 10 Uhr). Das Hotel ist leicht mit der U-Bahn von Shin-Ōsaka aus zu erreichen (ca. 15 Minuten). Check-in und Check-out erfolgen fast vollautomatisch. Freundliches Personal.

Pros:

여기 좋았는데, 위치가 조금 애매해요..! 기타하마역이랑 요도야바시역 사이에 있는데,,, 역 입구는 건물 지하랑 옆 건물 지하라 역은 가까운데

그 외에는 조금 걸어야 해서 확실히 중심가보단 애매하단 느낌이 있었어요 주변에 동키 같은 드럭스토어가 없는 게 단점이에요

대신에 그거 빼곤 다 ㄱㅊ음 방도 좀 넓었고 깨끗하고 친절하고 체크인 시간 빠르고 체크아웃 시간 늦고 조용함

페스티벌 홀 콘서트장이랑 가까워서 그 목적이신 분들 추천합니다!!
