This is my second time staying at this hotel. I will definitely come back again.
Pros:

Breakfast is amazing. Staffs are very friendly and king. Hotel location is only 5 minutes walk from the train station. The room is much larger than other hotels that we stayed in Osaka and Tokyo. You can get free cold ice tea or hot tea drinks at any time during business hours.

Cons:

Provide 2 pillows per bed. One pillow is not enough. Also, the hotel charges 1500 yen just to throw my old suitcase away.

Good quality hotel for a very reasonable price
Pros:

Pretty good hotel, has everything one might need. They have tasty breakfast with good variety of Japanese food as well as free drinks during daytime. I also had great city view from my room. Overall very good value for money.

Cons:

The rooms are super small and the air conditioner is directed right at the bed (in the smaller rooms).

Angenehmer Aufenthalt, aber sehr kleine Zimmer und für den europäischen Gaumen ungewohntes Frühstück.
Pros:

Die großzügige Lobby, die moderne Einrichtung

Cons:

Zimmer sehr klein, Frühstück für den japanischen Geschmack sehr gut aber für den europäischen nur äußerst eingeschränkt (wir sind dann ab dem 2. Tag woandershin ausgewichen)
