The location and cost was very good to explore Osaka. Given that it wasn’t smack in the centre of Dotonbori, it meant we had good quiet nights to sleep and rest.

You have to be careful if you’re a large or tall person, it’s like a standard Japanese accommodation, and not a westernised hotel. So door frames are low and space to move around may be tight for large groups.

Fantastic mini appartment, right in the heart of Osaka.

Just be aware that it can be a little loud at night will drunk people wandering down the road.

It's in a quiet area yet near enough for a quick walk to busy Dotonbori. Check in was easy and the sleeping room size is large and comfortable. The futons and pillows were comfortable as well. The hotel is a japanese-style room in an apartment building with an elevator. There is a small kitchenette but you can't cook on the stove. Thank you housekeeping for taking good care of my quokka :) I think he really likes the futon too!

Reception is not available 24 hours, so if you need a taxi in the early hours of the morning, you have to go to the main road to hail one as there is no one available to call you a taxi. Not really a bummer, but more an FYI as I am used to hotels having 24 hour reception.

Good location, close to Dotonbori and other areas. Cleanliness was top-notch. They check and clean the room every day at around 9 AM (a bit early for some, but there’s a lock on the door you can activate, so that they can come back later). Tatami-flooring was in exquisite shape and was comfortable to walk on (without shoes, of course). Being that the guest sleeps in a futon on the floor, it could get a bit uncomfortable at times (but I think this is par for the course and a matter of habit). Just be aware that the check-in desk is not located at the same place as the building with the rooms.

I was expecting a bit more of the surrounding facilities outside the room (but on the premises), but there wasn’t much to do there, other than heading outside to start exploring. It was a bit of a letdown, but this was a nice experience nonetheless.

Great location in downtown Osaka (Minami side), in a quiet part of the neighborhood just a stone's throw from Dohtonbori and very near the bus and train stations. Hotel is clean, rooms are spacious, with elevator access (great for travellers with large luggage). Staff are courteous and helpful. The hotel is located in two separate buildings a few doors from each other, so be sure to mind the sign telling you which building the reception desk is found. Great value for money, highly recommended.

No microwave in the room and the lobby staff do not have one either--a bit inconvenient if you need to heat up food from the nearby konbini stores.

Really loved this place to stay in Osaka - plenty of space for 2 adults and 2 teenagers - really spacious bedrooms with a traditional touch - i.e. tatami mat rooms. Bathroom was great with bath, separate toilet was great. Easy to walk to Dotonbori, Shinsaibashi area and a couple of different metro lines. Close to convenience stores, supermarket and restaurants. Would definitely recommend.

Some basic items in the kitchen would have been handy - some mugs, some cutlery, a microwave.

The hotel is in the old Japanese style, the location is excellent, next to the hotel there is a laundry and many restaurants, approximately 10 minutes on foot to the well-known street, self-checkout from the hotel, we do not need to go to the staff to check us out, The room service staff are polite, they don't disturb us in the morning and they don't knock on the door while we are sleeping in the morning

There is no restaurant

Great location and place to stay that is a short (5 minute) walk to the bustle of Dotonbori and close to the train line, the room was great value and very comfortable for the first futon beds I've used. They were also great in helping out getting a package delivered to my room.

There was no washing machines, but a multiple laundromats were within a <5 minute walk.

The area was quiet despite being just 550m from the Nipponbashi station and nearby Dotonburi. We slept very well because the bedroom felt like home. The tatami room and decor were made of natural material and yukata was provided for every guest. A very clean bathroom and tub made the stay pleasant. Keyless entry to the hotel and self-check-out made it convenient. The hotel admin contacted us as soon as I made the booking to confirm what time I was arriving- very responsive.

I loved everything about this hotel because it suited us (2 people). However, if there are more than 3 guests, you might find the room a bit small. And if you don't like walking, choose somewhere closer. There is also no Concierge downstairs all the time but he was contactable at all hours.

I liked how quiet the neighbourhood is and how decently sized the space was for a family of 4, the ambience and furnishing of the place was great too.

Found it odd that despite the ryokan stating that cleaning service is at 9am onwards, cleaning staff still tried to enter the room at 4pm to clean when I came back to the hotel due to health issues.
