This hotel is literally close to everything. If you are a walker you can actually walk to most of the markets and all subways. Only thing the room is really small but you do have your own bathroom. It's worth the price to have privacy.

Room was clean and fresh towels were available each day in the lobby. Staff was fine, very friendly. The location is a little bit away from tourist spots, but you can easily walk to Dotonbori or hop on one of the three nearest subway lines to get anywhere. The hotel was quiet, so no problem sleeping. The backstreets have several restaurants and there are nearby convenience stores. Using the app to check in was unique but worked fine. The place uses keyless entry to the rooms using a door code.

It is walking distance to many subway lines but not midosuji line. Machiyamachi station is few minuts walk. Convenience store near by. Room is big and spacy but not bathroom. Hotel is beside the highway so when it is quiet at night, it is noisy but when youbturn on air conditioning, then traffic sound is erased with it. Pick your battle. Other than that all good.
