My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were quite run down and in desperate need of refurbishment. While it was suitable for two people, it felt cramped for three. Additionally, the early check-out time at 10:00 am was a bit inconvenient. On the bright side, the location was not bad, with easy access to fashion shops and a convenience store nearby.

The room definitely needs a makeover, feeling tired and worn out. It was just enough for two people but felt crowded with three.

The hotel is located next to a shopping street, making it convenient for exploring. The room was just right for our family of 4, but felt a bit cramped with an uncomfortable second bed, giving off a retro 80's love hotel vibe. Booking closer to the stay date saved us money. Service from Hiroshi and the team was generally helpful, although the insistence on leaving the key each time was a bit unclear. The vending machines and coin laundry on the 3rd floor were useful, but finding the hotel was a bit tricky on arrival. The location is excellent for subway travelers, being very close to Dotonbori and offering easy access to Shinsaibashi fashion alley and Namba station. However, it was not the easiest place to find at first. The dining experience did not have organic products, and no specific comment on the facilities was provided.

The hotel is situated in the vibrant America Mura area, close to Namba, with free morning drink machines and available PCs with internet connection. The rooms, although small by Japan's standards for three people, offer a standard experience. The service is commendable with staff possessing good English skills and providing detailed information on transportation options. The location is truly convenient, being near Shinsaibashi-Suji and not far from the subway, ideal for exploring the nearby nightlife. However, the property needs updating and could benefit from more modern amenities.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was excellent, making it convenient to travel to places of interest and take in the colorful sights and sounds of nightlife mostly. However, the rooms stank of cigarette smoke and had some sticky parts in the carpet. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful, particularly in providing detailed information about taking the Limousine Bus to the Kansai airport, but they were a bit rude at times. The facilities were decent, but the price for the value could be better.

The hotel's location is very strategic, close to Dotonbori & Shinsaibashi, making it convenient for exploring the area. However, being in americamura, which I am not a fan of, might not suit all preferences. The rooms are quite small, especially for accommodating three people, with the added downside of being on the same floor as a smoking room. The service is a mix; while there are vending machines and coin laundry on the 3rd floor, some staff members come across as arrogant.

The hotel is centrally located near the Shinsaibashi shopping area with convenient access to the nearest station. The rooms are smaller than expected for three people, offering limited space but well-maintained. The service is friendly and multilingual, with staff speaking English and Mandarin. The location is bustling with activity, especially on weekends, filled with young crowds. However, some elements give an outdated feel, reminiscent of a love hotel from the 80s, potentially affecting the overall experience.

The hotel is a short walk to the shopping area, but the rooms are too small with barely any place to put baggage. The service was not exactly friendly at times, and the staff could improve their English. The location is really near Shinsaibashi-Suji, making it convenient for exploring nightlife. The dining options include some vegan dishes, but the facilities are lacking. Overall, it's a mixed experience in terms of comfort and service.

The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were small, smoky, and not very clean, but they provided comfort at an affordable price, accommodating an extra bed for two people. The service varied from nice and helpful to a terrible experience with yelling, but they showed kindness during checkout. The location was bustling with young crowds on weekends, but it was conveniently near Dotonbori and Namba for easy access to food and shopping, close to the train station, and in Central America Town for a no-frills stay. Unfortunately, the service required leaving the key every time.
