10/10

Booked this lodging pretty late, but enjoyed staying at this chain. The location was surprisingly convenient as it was really close to the metro entrance. The area was relatively quiet, but really accessible to the touristy areas of the city. Comfy rooms overall. A nice stay that is easy to travel from.

The hotel rooms was extremely small. There was no room to move about and the bathrooms are tiny little capsules. The check in process was long and unnecessary with staff just watching you struggle

Overall is very good service and hygienes in the hotel, love the spa Onsen facility. However the washing machine is not very efficient, it took us 3 hours cleaning and fully drying our clothes.

10/10

Front desk concierge is bilingual, friendly, and made my check in very quick and easy. The hotel itself is very close to Higobashi Station, and if you are adventurous, you can walk to either Dotonbori, or Osaka Station, fairly quickly.. basically the hotel is in a great location!

Didn’t purchase a suite and didn’t expect a huge room but this one was kind of small. Not too bad for 2 people with backpacks tho. Very clean room and comfortable bed.

10/10

Good location, with a drug store crossing the street, 7/11 and various restaurants around. Metro station right in front of the doors of the hotel. The rooms very clean and the bathtub bigger than the Apas from Tokyo.. nice room but tiny so please keep in mind that, I was with 3 large suitcases and 2 smalls ones and it was a bit cramped but nothing to complaint about, if you are organize and keep everything tidy it will not be a problem. The staff very friendly and some spoke really good English!

The check in process was horrible!!! I booked a room with a double bed and I received a room with a single bed. With that said, the room was very small. 2 people barely fit in the room

I wish it was contracted to a luggage delivery service that delivers from Osaka to Narita airport
6-night trip

10/10

Solo traveller with a large checked luggage. I found the room a little tight but it was mostly a place to sleep. Being above Higobashi station makes it easy to reach both Osaka station (airport express transit) and Namba station for Dotonbori. 9 minute walk to Yodoyabashi station to reach Shin-Osaka (shinkansen) is also fantastic. Amenities like towels, toothpaste, and disposable coffee cups were left in a bag on the door daily around cleaning time so I always had a fresh set, and the room was cleaned every 3 days by staff, or sooner on request. Check out was seamless. I would definitely stay here again
7-night trip

6/10

Room was too hot and require opening the window that resulted to a lot of noise from the traffic outside. Check in requires more efficiency as it took over 30 minutes to find my reservation due to Trainees assisting. The Spa is good and clean and location is accessible to subway station which is just in front of it and walkable to Osaka main station 1.2 km away but mostly flat.
1-night trip

8/10

There were hardly any space between the desk and the bed, which made using the chair and the desk uncomfortable, and not really doable. Otherwise the room held the general APA hotells standard. Great simple rooms at a resonable price. They have everything one needs. I think the location is great. Going places couldn't be more convenient with a tube entrance just outside the hotell. Namba and other destinations reachable within 30 min. I wasn't able to use the bath because of a wound, but I would have appreciated the bath otherwise. It's just great. I noticed that noice isolation is quite poor (isolation from traffic and such), so maybe consider the higher floors.
