Maruyama Vacations from ￥21,845

Excellent accommodations! Food was excellent! It is an experience of tranquility.

Location is great walking distance to 7-eleven, Lawson, bus stops, restaurants and main streets. The hotel room (Signature Japanese Family room) was VERY spacious. The washing machines were on the same floor right outside of the room which was convenient. It takes only 100yen coins so make sure to have those handy. The machines wash and dry your clothes too. There was a huge closet space to store all your luggage and more. There is a fridge and freezer in the room. They also provided us with free water bottles when we arrived. We brought 2 large luggages, one carry-on and one backpack and still had room in the closet to move around in. They provide robes, comb, razor, hair ties, toothbrush and toothpaste. Check-in was easy, as well as check out. The beds and pillows were soft. We travelled as a family of four and had plenty of room to move around. The room had a beautiful traditional Japanese feel and fit in with the whole charm of the room and neighborhood. They also have a drink vending machine in the hotel and it's the cheapest in the neighborhood for drinks at 100 yen for each drink. I would recommend this hotel room if you want a traditional and spacious room for a family of four or five.

The room was basic and clean. The main issue was that the air conditioning was disabled in the room. There was a sign in the room stating it was controlled across the whole hotel and I wouldn't be able to turn it on. It was quite humid in Osaka when I was visiting, and the lack of AC meant I had to keep the window open the tiny amount that was allowed. This made the primary purpose of the hotel to "Just Sleep" a bit more difficult than I would have liked. If you don't mind being a little warm and sweaty during the night, you might be okay. I found it difficult to sleep and get comfortable in the warm humid nights. I would suggest calling ahead to see if the air conditioning is allowed/enabled before making a trip to this hotel. Or perhaps only go in the cooler months.

We really liked this hotel! Super close and convenient for Universal and some fun family rooms with bunkbeds that the children loved. We would definitely stay again.
