Clean room, just had many stains on the seating area. A guest was really loud last night, we couldnt sleep. I think they should tell guests that noise after a certain hour should be kept respectable. About a 20 minute walk to Dontonbori

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It was a very convenient location. It went well overall and the staff was helpful at check-in. The hotel is somewhat automated through the usage of an App, so there isn't always staff at the front desk. The App wasn't working when I tried to checkout, so I had to leave and contact the hotel afterwards. It took some effort to be able to contact someone, so that would be my only complaint. I would stay again.
