The hotel is two stations or 10 min from Namba, the downtown area. There are a few restaurants and diners near the hotel. Also, there is a Lawson (Japanese convenience store) and Aeon (Japanese supermarket), both open 24/7, within 2 min walk, which makes getting late night snack very convenient. Hotel staff are very friendly and helpful, speak fluent English too! The room is not too spacious but Japan has too much to offer, I cared was a comfy bed to rest for the night, and this hotel provides just what I need. Room amenities are what you would expect from any other hotels in Japan of the same star-rate: iron board, fabric freshener, full set of toiletries you name it. I enjoy the long table and the little sofa in this room in particular because what you want at the end of the day is a place to pile up your haul and dirty laundry. All in all, if you don't mind the two-station distance, this hotel is amazing for its price.
