The hotel is a stone throw away from Dobutsuenmae Station, which is very important for me especially since traveling via underground is the best way to travel around Osaka. Another selling point for me is the price as the hotel is one of the cheapest in Osaka. Showers and toilets are shared but they are clean, so no complaints on... More

We stayed in a Japanese-style room with a toilet and we were very happy. The room had a fridge, TV and a/c. The wifi was good and the room was immaculately clean. The shared shower was spotless, powerful and had shampoo and shower gel. The Japanese-style bath was great and had segregated hours for men and women; the water was... More

Our room was nice and clean. It was a Japanese style room where the matress is on the floor. There is a... More

This is probably one if my favourite places to stay in Japan. It's near major train stations which are easy to navigate - its near spa world and the zoo if your interested, and overall it's just great. The staff speak fluent English and are really helpful and lovely! The wifi in your room is a great connection (something we've... More

Breakfast (pretty good coffe, toast and a boiled egg) available around the corner for 300 JPY is a decent start to your day. Room was clean and bed was nice, though blanket felt a... More

They also have breakfast vouchers to a... More

This time I also find a new guy at the reception, a Japanese-American guy, with him I forgot the problem I had last time I... More

I have stayed a few times, i always stay in a single western style on the women's floor. It's quiet, private, clean, has a mini fridge in the rooms I stayed, a tv and showers! No sharing! I will come back every time I am in Osaka! Close to Tennoji Zoo, Tsutenkaku Tower with lots of foods, cafe, shopping and... More

Their location is good. There are several reasonable hotels near the hotel, so you may find an even cheaper hotel. Spa World is close and its discounted ticket is for JPY900 at the hotel reception. Rooms are very small but clean and Wifi is available for free in rooms.
