"Not in the bustle of Umeda or Namba but still a convenient location. The trek back to the hotel can be tiring after long days of sightseeing and shopping if coming from a station other than Kitahama. While Kitahama station is next door to the hotel, note that there is not an elevator in this vicinity and there are a ton of stairs to walk up to get from the station to the hotel so if you need an elevator, you'd have to find another subway exit. I liked the quiet location (solo adult traveler) but if I were traveling with my kids, I would need a family room which I am not sure this hotel has as an option. Overall, I liked this hotel."
