The room comes with basic kitchenware—a small pot, a few cups, and four bowls—which is more than enough for simple meals or snacks. That said, there were a few drawbacks: no hot water during showers, limited space (only two suitcases allowed), a slightly noisy refrigerator, and the air conditioning didn’t cool down effectively. These issues could definitely be improved with minor upgrades. Still, the price-to-quality ratio is strong, especially for travelers looking to explore Osaka on a budget. If you're after convenience, central access, and a cozy base, this place is worth considering.
I don’t usually stay in this area, but I was pleasantly surprised by how good this place turned out to be.

The room itself felt more spacious than your average chain hotel, which made all the difference. Plus, getting around via train and shopping nearby is super convenient. One downside? The yakitori skewers aren’t worth it—overpriced and just okay in flavor. But honestly, when you factor in everything else, the value for money here is outstanding. For the price, this hotel delivers far more than expected. Definitely a hidden gem that I’d recommend over many others.
