When I booked a room with a shared bathroom I wasn't expecting for the bathroom to be very good, but it was incredibly nice. There are also sinks in the rooms, minimizing the need to use the shared bathroom. Breakfast also exceeded expectations—I tried five out of the seven options on the menu and they were all really delicious. I am honestly shocked that they were included in the already extremely reasonable price. The beds were also super comfortable and the staff was incredibly nice and helpful.

There were only a couple of things I would change. The location is pretty far from tourist areas and not super close to a metro station (about a 7 minute walk, not terrible). It's a bit hard to get to from the airport—I would recommend not transferring trains because the stations often don't have escalators for luggage. A taxi from Tennoji station works better. And then I struggled with keeping my room from getting too warm, but that might just be because I couldn't figure out the thermostat.

The staff were SO kind and helpful. The accommodation was so thoughtfully furnished, warm, clean, comfortable. The cafe underneath was fantastic for breakfast and coffees. Accommodation was very easy to get to via train. We loved it there so much and have recommended it to family and friends. Would definitely stay again!

Nothing!

Lovely, stylish hotel on river near Osaka Castle. Really comfortable with friendly and helpful staff. Served great coffee in the bar/ cafe area in foyer and great breakfast choice. Stayed in twin bunk room which had plenty of space including sofa area (rare find based on previous hotels) and shared bathroom facilities which were excellent and spotless - always toilets and showers to use. In a quieter location which suited us but only short walk and tube ride from the main centre and Dotonburi area. Great coffee shops and bagel store nearby as well as restaurants. Cant recommend this hotel highly enough, superb and great value.

Nothing to dislike - you wont go wrong!

I loved staying here and can recommend it to everyone! The room is very comfortable and cozy. Even the mattress was amazing to sleep on. I had a room with a shared bathroom concept and was surprised how clean and easy it was to use. To top it off the rooftop has an amazing view and terrace to do yoga on or just hang out (Yoga Mat available at the hotel). The staff was very nice and helpful, also almost everyone spoke English very well! The 5th floor has a room with laundry, fridge, microwave, water dispenser and lots of other things that makes your stay easier.

Nothing :)

From the first moment the staff was exceptionally attentive, friendly and helpful. As I was pregnant I asked for a calm room and we got a wonderful room with partial river view (although we booked the cheapest category). The bathroom is so chic and the toiletries are luxurious! We loved the breakfast, I ordered the grilled salmon everyday ;-) We appreciated the location a lot - away from the crowds of Dotonbori (but still only a short ride with the metro) and close to the Castle with its beautiful blooming plum trees and Nakazachiko area with cosy little cafes. We didn’t like the touristy areas and were happy to rather chill in the neighbourhood of the Noum Hotel.

The double bed was quite tight for my tall husband and me, but if you don’t mind cuddling it’s fine :)

This is a gem of a place. The receptionist stayed up late to check me in as my flight was delayed, and throughout my stay I was always greeted with a friendly face. The café downstairs is cozy and the brunch is amazing (though a bit expensive). The corner room I had was beautiful, with view to the river. The shared bathroom seemed new, always clean and of good quality (loved the shower). Most of all, I enjoyed the little details such as tasteful flowers, a list of recommendations what to do in the area, clear instructions on facilities. Finally the area is really nice, full of small, stylish and unique restaurants, bars and cafés (Japanese, European, Mexican etc). I loved being close to the water, too. Overall, a perfect stay. Thanks!

Great location on the river, easy walking distance to Osaka Castle and Tammabashi subway station. Excellent breakfast included in the room price. The staff were exceptionally friendly and went out if their way to help us, including modifying the vegan breakfast offer to match our daughter’s dietary restrictions and recommending and also booking a restaurant on our behalf, specifying our daughter’s dietary restrictions, to make the translation a bit easier on arrival at the restaurant.

Minimal sound proofing in the rooms (e.g. we could hear the alarm clock ring from the next room and people talking in the corridors when inside our room).

Beautiful boutique hotel, the staff are amazing, speak great English and so friendly ,the breakfast 5 star. The room is tastefully done. Was plenty of room for a solo traveler. They got me an extra pillow no issues . The shared bathroom and toilets are immaculate and not inconvenient. There is on 5th floor microwave, fridge and hot cold water . If you want central Osaka this is not for you but I loved the quietness away from the hustle bustle . It’s a 10 minute walk to train station so easy to get to main part . Lots of 7/11 , Lawson and family mart nearby. Large shopping mall with lots of eateries across the bridge . Cute cafes nearby

Lovely and welcoming staff, a really great cafe/bar area to hang out in, with breakfast options and very good coffee. They also always had an excellent (mostly soul) playlist on. The room (we stayed in an ensuite twin) though compact, had everything we needed, including a hair dryer and good shower gel / shampoo / conditioner which you smelled amazing and which you could buy at reception. There was a comment I read about the mattress being hard, I will say it was on the firm side, but still perfectly comfortable.

The hotel is a bit of trek from the downtown area (about 30 mins by underground) but there are some great cafes & restaurants nearby, so there are options to choose from if ones doesn't want to travel in every day. We were also close to Osaka Castle and the Osaka History Museum (about a 20 mins walk) which are two of the main attractions in the city.

The hotel is best described as hip in a cozy way. The staff are super friendly and the lobby/cafe/restaurant area is nicely decorated with a good menu of food. My fiancee and I didn't have breakfast there, but we had wine in the lobby one night where the options available were nice as was the ambiance. The room in the hotel is plenty comfortable, and we had a nice window view of the Kyu-Yodo river and Nakanoshima island. We found the washer and dryer on site to also be helpful. Overall, we thought the room was also good value for money.

The hotel doesn't have other bells and whistles like a gym, but it's very well priced. The location is not near the "main sights" of Osaka or near Namba so if you want a more bustling area, maybe look elsewhere, but there were quite a bit of good cafes and restaurants near us, and it was very calm at night.
