The hotel is efficiently run and the rate is very reasonable. Checkin was quick and the staff explained clearly what to expect on the services. Although the room is small and no broadcast TV services, the room was quite comfortable after a long day out. Breakfast is good, many Japanese varieties, salad, and fruit. Location is good. There are Family Mart and a great supermarket within 5 5o 10 min walk. JR Namba station (Yamatoji Line) is 10 min walk and Ashiharabashi Station (Osaka Loop Line) is 15 min walk. These 2 lines are covered by the JR pass which I had. Overall, I enjoyed my time with this hotel.
