5/5 Excellent
"The hotel is super central and a minute's walk from Dotonbori or the Nipponbashi train station. The room I had was perfect for what I needed. Yes, it is small, but you pay exactly what you get for and you get a comfortable bed, a hot shower and all the amenities are included. The staff was always helpful and the check in and check out process was quick and easy."

"Was a very good place to stay for our first night in Japan. They had an ATM in the hotel along with a convenient store that had lots of food and snacks and drinks. About a 6 min walk to the train stop. And walking around outside at night is very fun. "

"Perfect location on top of metro and close enough to shopping district and attractions. Staff were so warm and welcoming. And breakfast was great for westerners. Room was spacious for Japan but didn’t have a smart tv which was surprising. However we were out most of the time so not needed but just surprised for such a tech focussed country. Highly recommend the hotel"
"If you can stay here. Just do it. Closest hotel to universal studios Japan. 2-3 minutes from door to gate. We loved this place. Lawsons right down stairs. Restaurant all around the hotel. Train station 2 minutes walk from the hotel. It’s a little small for 2 adults and 2 small kids. But it was our fault not to get more beds. Staff was friendly too. "
