SUPER stay in a AMAZING location!

breakfast buffet japanese option smartphone access laundry room

The breakfast buffet IS HUGE. It had both Japanese and western options. The room came with a Smartphone, which I could use as a hotspot. I appreciated the laundry room. It had washers AND dryers. Ice machine access was super too.

The room DID lack sufficient closet space. This was a little inconvenient for unpacking.

uncomfortable pillows poor soundproofing

the location is fabulous! clean accommodation and English speaking staff, were definitely pluses.

the pillows were NOT very comfortable, i was always waking up at night. also, there could be more soundproofing! i could hear EVERYTHING. the noise from the hallway, the street noise, and even the people in the next room. it made it hard to get a decent night's sleep.

The breakfast options were amazing. Staff helped me ship my airpods back to Australia, after I forgot them. The location is great. Dotonbori and the train station are close.

The pillows were a little too firm for my comfort.

Really good Stay in a Prime Location!

free coffee refreshing shower

The complimentary coffee in the lounge was a lifesaver. I enjoyed it at all hours. The bathroom rain shower was fantastic and refreshing after a long day exploring. I also found the location to be very convenient. It was easy to get around!

The music from a nearby nightclub was audible at night, it made sleeping a little difficult before the early hours. I think better soundproofing would improve future stays.
