I was completely blown away by how great this hotel is—especially for the price! Located just steps from Bentencho Station, it’s super convenient; you can walk across a bridge and be right there. We stayed in a spacious triple room with a brand-new, spotless bathroom—truly top-notch. The view at night? Absolutely stunning, with panoramic views of all of Osaka’s glittering skyline. There’s even a free ice machine on-site, which came in handy. Right downstairs, you’ve got a supermarket and a huge drugstore where everything is surprisingly affordable. FamilyMart is on the 2nd floor, plus several restaurants nearby. Don’t miss the Sky Garden Spa—it’s a relaxing treat after a long day. And the breakfast? Wow. So many options, all delicious, and the 51st-floor dining area offers breathtaking views. Eating breakfast there felt like a real experience. Plus, there’s a little gem in the mall—Sangyo Pancake—where their pancakes are worth every yen (just 880 JPY). My kids had a blast here, and honestly, I’d come back in a heartbeat.
