“Staff was very nice and spoke English very well, making communication very easy. Location was excellent and very close to train stations and famous parts of Osaka.”
Antonio

“I loved the location, so close to the metro and Shinsenkai area and fare enough from all the noisy and touristy areas of Dotonbori.
I appreciated the single and individual room with a little space for the backpack.
Also free Sento at 2 min...”
