"This is a fabulous place to stay. 5-10 minutes from Namba station, Dotonburi area and the canal. Staff were fantastic, friendly and helpful especially Jerry with his local knowledge and excellent English. Being able to wash and dry a full load of clothes in an hour for 600 yen was a bonus. The room was plenty big enough with great power and wifi connections. Add in a free breakfast, coffee and cocoa machine, cold water and you have the ideal place to stay. Can’t recommend this hotel highly enough"

"Amazing boutique hotel, they even had a small skincare bar downstairs which was such a great touch. The only thing we wish would’ve been better was having a small sink in the separate toilet as there is no facility of that. But that didn’t really hinder our stay there as much. Staff helped us with the luggage forwarding service too. Lovely location, 7/11 is right opposite the hotel."
