9/10 Wonderful! (44 reviews)
Staff were friendly and helpful - spoke Japanese to them and they replied in Japanese (unlike others who want to try practicing their English with foreigners). Within walking distance to Dōtonbori and Amemura, but itself situated on a quieter road. Easy to get to train stations nearby. Bed had a comfy mattress. Free refills of tea and coffee left in our room every day. The room itself was a bit cramped though, with no space under the bed to store luggage.

Very close to USJ & the citywalk area. Clean rooms, staffs were friendly and helpful during check-in/out. Amenities were good - beside the usual bathroom amenities, water dispenser, microwave on every floor, coin laundry, currency exchange machine. The daily free simple cafe beverages were good too.
