The hotel's location is fantastic, just steps away from the metro and close to major attractions. The rooms were modern and comfortable but on the smaller side, and the staff was helpful and friendly. However, the dining experience was not particularly delicious, and the room was a bit tiny for my liking. Overall, it's a good value for the money with convenient access to transportation.

The hotel is centrally located next to the metro station, making it convenient for exploring Osaka. The rooms, although on the smaller side, are well-equipped and quiet, ensuring a comfortable stay. The service was friendly but primarily handled by trainees with limited language skills. Dining options were decent but slightly repetitive, especially for breakfast. Overall, a good value for the prime location.

The hotel rooms are incredibly small, even for two people with minimal luggage. The service was friendly but lacked experienced staff members. The location is convenient, right in front of a metro station. The dining options were mediocre with repetitive food choices. Overall, the hotel provides basic amenities but falls short on space and dining variety.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The location is very convenient, just a quick bus ride to Herbis and right at the exit to the metro. Checking in and out was a breeze. The rooms, though cramped even by Japanese standards, provide only basic comfort. The service was a bit lacking as the staff, though friendly, couldn't communicate in English well. The dining options were high quality but with limited choices. Overall, it's a decent hotel with some room for improvement.

I absolutely loved the location of this hotel, being right at the exit of Higobashi station, making it super convenient for exploring the city. The rooms were cozy and well-maintained, but I did notice a few small chips on the walls from luggage bumps. The service, although friendly, could have been more helpful for non-Japanese speakers like me. The dining experience was delightful with delicious breakfast options and a great view of Osaka. Overall, a great value for money stay with a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel is located right outside Higobashi Station, making it convenient for transportation. The rooms are small but come with essential amenities like a fridge, WiFi, and a desk, although opening a suitcase can feel like playing Tetris due to the limited space. The cleanliness and proximity to the subway station are definite pluses, but not ideal for sightseeing enthusiasts.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were quite tight, and the smell of stale cigarette smoke was overwhelming, making it uncomfortable. The service was decent, they stored our bags and changed our room when requested, but the lack of a warm welcome was disappointing. The hotel's location was convenient for business travelers but lacked a friendly touch. The dining options were average, with repetitive menus. Overall, it was an okay experience with room for improvement.

The hotel rooms might be small but have all the needed amenities in good condition, giving a cozy cruise ship vibe. However, the facilities are a bit dated, and there are limited plugs available. The service is friendly and professional with convenient access to the subway. The location is excellent due to its proximity to the subway station, making it easy to explore the city. The dining options offer a variety of food but might get repetitive, with the top-floor restaurant offering better views. Overall, a comfortable stay with friendly service and convenient location.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable with great location near the subway station, but they were incredibly small for a couple traveling with only carry-on gear. The service was friendly, the location was amazing right at the exit of Higobashi station, but there were not many food options for budget travelers. The dining experience was good but seemed to run out of food quicker than they could replace. Overall, it's a decent choice with some minor drawbacks.
