Good price for the location, staff not as professional as other places
Pros:

It was a good price for what we wanted in terms of location, anticipated a smaller room and was surprised by how big the room was (Japanese standard)

Cons:

The staff are a little rude compared to the stay we just had in Osaka, I guess it’s just how people are in this city, I’m not sure. Felt like the place was a little unprofessional but still offered everything a standard hotel can offer. Location was a little odd too, the night life bringing a few odd personalities to the street.

Las apariencias engañan (en este caso, para bien)
Pros:

La habitación era cómoda y limpia. El personal atento y amable.

Cons:

La ubicación era un poco peliaguda. Está muy cerca de la zona céntrica y demás sitios interesantes, pero la localización del hotel en sí está en una calle que causa mala impresión. Pero aún así, el hotel está muy bien.
