Kitanotenman Shrine

The accommodation was really nice. Friendly staff. The free smoothie and evening ochazuke was a nice touch.

The room is of a good size in Japan. There's room to open two big luggages at the same time. Location is great, 7 min to Tenjin-minami station, 5 min to bus stops, 3 min to two supermarkets, less then a minute to 7-11, work many eateries within this distance. The overall cleaniness is good with some stains on a little cabinet top, foundation looking stain on a curtain, a cut nail on the floor near the edge of one of the beds and little dust at corners. The condition of the washing machine, the bathroom, kitchen and toilet is clean. We felt comfortable using them with no issues afterwards. Down pillows on slightly firm mattresses didn't cause any trouble to our sleep. Air conditioning was sufficient. The downside is the design, there's only one hook in the whole room, two towel bars with no extra place to hang anything was inconvenient. It would be good to have hooks near the beds and outside the bathroom to hang things. The sofa was extra low, it's about 30cm off the ground. The toilet door swings open outward at the entrance area where you had to leave all your shoes and pretty much the only place to hang your clothes caused a lot of obstructions. No dish rack after washing. Ventilation was not strong but the windows can be opened. At the rate we got it, the size, the location with a kitchen and elevator of this property. We are quite happy with our 11 day stay.

Lovely stay at the gate. Room is quite large for Japan standards. I love it that the shower and toilet are separate. Location is excellent, right above the Tenjin underground with lots of shops and food options. Lobby is on the 19th floor offering great views of the city. Breakfast is a semi buffet with 3 options to choose from. There is a lounge on the 18 floor for guest to relax with simple snacks and beverages. The only gripe I have is you have to change lifts to get to your room.
