The staff was extremely helpful, going out of their way to speak English with us, a wonderful gesture since my wife and my Japanese still needs work. The room was clean and neat with a great view of the river.
The beds however, traditional futons on the floor, we’re incredible. We had the best sleep of the entire trip on those futons, without exaggeration. They were warm and soft and supporting at the same time. My wife asked if we could get some at home…
The are around the hotel was a little dirty, but we also stayed here through Halloween, and the partying was insane on the streets, so of course I don’t fault the hotel for any of that.
Next time we visit Osaka, we’ll definitely be staying here again.
