A fabulous experience during my stay. The checkin staff were very attentive and knowledgeable. Nightly activities for a better Japanese experience enhanced my stay in the property. The bottomless beverage offered in the lobby, delicious icecream and selected alcoholic beverages is phenomenal. The Dotonbori hotel is pure entertainment.

Near bars and no soundproofing
The lobby and lift area had a very strong machine/diesel (?) smell and would make me gag. The soundproofing of the rooms weren’t great either. Being close to the lift, we could hear the guests outside every day and night. The hotel location was about 6 mins from the nearest station, 2 minutes from the Dontonbori district but I would think it’s a rowdy area - we saw drunkards every night cos there were alot of bars around the hotel. NYE was worst - a lot of tourists and foreign workers drunk on the street, and littering everywhere.

Good stay close to namba station and dotonbori. We stayed in two different room types and the first room with a pole in the middle of the room felt small and hard to open luggages. The second room was more standard and feels a bit more spacious without the pole. Massage chairs and happy hour is a plus. Reception was able to help me prepare and ship my luggage. Overall great stay.

Staff was very helpful and went out of their way to make things easier for us. Massage chairs were great after long walks. So close to dotonburi that it was a pleasant and short couple minutes walk.

The hotel is very conveniently located to Dotonbori River and all the activities surrounding it. Great restaurants and shopping venues.
The staff at the hotel were great, friendly and accommodating. My only issue was the size of the room which was very small but is pretty much like that throughout Japan.
Overall I have nothing but high regards for the staff and hotel and highly recommended this property.

It's in a great location near the Dotonbori district. There are tons of great restaurants and, the famous spots are right next door. The only complaint is the room size. A tiny room with an airplane-sized lavatory with a 1/2 size small bathtub. It is good for 1 - 2 nights for the Dotonbori experience but not for a long stay and definitely for a family vacation.

The location of the hotel is great, so is the breakfast. But the air circulation is bad; there is a musty smell throughout and the carpets are quite dirty.
