The hotel was very clean, just like in the photos. The lobby had great amenities—vending machines, ice and water dispensers, and seating if you wanted to eat something there. There was also a large laundry room. The staff were wonderful and very helpful. Breakfast was fine—nothing fancy, but totally sufficient, especially if you're on a budget. The room was clean and well lit but snug. Just note that there’s not much storage space—only a rail to hang a few items—so I had to live out of my suitcase. Thankfully, the bed is high enough to slide suitcases underneath. The mattress was very firm, but I’ve heard that’s standard in Japan. The real star, though, was the location—right next to the train station and walking distance to shopping, Dotonbori, and everything else I wanted to see. For a first-time visitor, it was ideal. I’d definitely stay here again.
