    cigarette smell
    tiny bathroom
    sewage odor

    Helpful and friendly staff.

    Unfortunately, my room had a persistent cigarette smell that made my stay uncomfortable. Even after getting switched to another room, I couldn't escape the hint of humidity lingering there. The bathroom was shockingly tiny, and I actually hit my head on the doorknob! Adding to the unpleasantness, there was an annoying sewage smell that made things worse.

    central location
    one key
    noise disturbances

    Central location near subway line, proximity to Nishiki Markets, available basement bar.

    One key for a triple room is quite inconvenient!!! Rooms need renovation and an upgrade in furniture!!! Management should definitely improve soundproofing to avoid noise disturbances from above!!!

    cramped accommodations

    In my wife’s opinion, the room felt a bit cramped for our family needs. It would be great if there were some play areas or activities for kids.

    Cozy spot for fams

    Spent 2 nights in a twin room and it was super comfy! The metro was a hop away and made getting to Osaka easy. Staff were dope, especially Ochi-san who helped us a ton. Breakfast was just alright, nothing crazy, and the bathroom was tiny, but we managed. Perfect base for exploring.

    excellent breakfast
    helpful staff

    Solo traveler, Fair deal overall

    The breakfast here is somethin' to talk about, I mean French toast was especially great! Plus, the staff were really helpful when I needed an extra towel. It’s these little things, you know?

    Wasn’t exactly pocket change, but still reasonable for what I got.

    the hotel is conveniently located near the karasuma train station, making it easy to explore. it's just a 6-8 minute walk to the lively nishiki market, which is a great spot for food and shopping. the staff was pleasant and always willing to help with basic inquiries.
