The hotel was very spacious and had a long history of smoking evident in the hallways without opening windows. The service was accommodating and friendly, similar to other hotels across Japan, though not all staff were as friendly as expected. The location was great, near attractions like the aquarium and city center, easily accessible by metro. The dining experience was memorable, offering a stunning view of a typhoon hitting Osaka but disappointing due to sudden closure for renovations. Overall, a mixed but noteworthy experience.

The service was helpful when my companion fell sick, but the inefficiency at checkout was frustrating.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was spacious and well-located at the center, but unfortunately, it got too hot despite adjusting the air-conditioner, and it was in need of renovation with tatty paintwork and a tired bathroom. The service was good overall, with kind staff who offered to hold our suitcases early, but there were initial issues with receipts. The location was perfect, offering easy access to Osaka station, Nanba, and the airport. Despite being close to great attractions like Universal Studios, there was a risk of tripping over luggage due to limited space in some areas. The dining was a bit overpriced for a limited menu selection, but the views from the 51st floor were stunning.
