For people who want to stay in the heart of the Osaka entertainment district(Dotonbori & shopping/food streets), this was an excellent location. Being on a side street, it was fairly quiet considering the lively area. The room had a pretty good configuration so despite the size it was easier to move around than another APA we stayed at. However, the room we stayed in was well worn, tired & smelled of smoke. The towels were old and frayed and the shower curtain a bit grubby. At least the bed linens and sheets were clean and fresh. Too bad, I like APA hotels and had expected better.
