Wasn't our choice of hotels - our friend had a wedding here. We didn't have to go up & over the crossing as another reader had - we found a passage under the train line. But the passage ways are so dark, dank & crowded and the area so polluted. the outside of the hotel is concrete & yuk -... more

The location of this hotel is quite inconvenient, even though its right next to the JR station - you have to go up and down over a pedestrian foot bridge to reach the hotel, which isn't a good thing if you've got luggage.

Besides, the place... more

Get to the Hanshin for food variety. Weather very rainy, even in late March, so keep an umbrella handy. Nice shops in the hotel.... more

I think this hotel is in a good area, because you can stay near station (JR and Metro). i recommend you stay here if you want to go around in Osaka. The staff is really friendly, so workers were good, but i felt the room is cold... anyway, the room is clean and good location hotel. more
