9/10 Wonderful! (54 reviews)
The room was basic and clean. The main issue was that the air conditioning was disabled in the room. There was a sign in the room stating it was controlled across the whole hotel and I wouldn't be able to turn it on. It was quite humid in Osaka when I was visiting, and the lack of AC meant I had to keep the window open the tiny amount that was allowed. This made the primary purpose of the hotel to "Just Sleep" a bit more difficult than I would have liked. If you don't mind being a little warm and sweaty during the night, you might be okay. I found it difficult to sleep and get comfortable in the warm humid nights. I would suggest calling ahead to see if the air conditioning is allowed/enabled before making a trip to this hotel. Or perhaps only go in the cooler months.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (255 reviews)
We had a fantastic stay here! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel warmly welcomed. Every team member we encountered was genuinely friendly, professional, and eager to help with any questions or requests. The hotel itself is beautifully maintained with a lovely, modern vibe throughout the property. Our room was immaculate—spotless, extremely clean, and very comfortable. You can really tell the housekeeping staff takes great pride in their work, as everything was fresh and meticulously prepared. Everything about our experience was smooth and seamless. We couldn't have asked for a better stay and will definitely be returning next time we’re in town. Highly recommended!
