The room can be opened by using a dimple key.

There was a closet and cafe corner on the right and a bathroom on the left.

The room was spacious. The furnitures were old and there wasn’t even a single mainstream USB port. Perhaps because it was raining it was a little dark even when all the lights in the room were turned on. The next morning, I felt that it was a luxury hotel with the newspaper service I requested.

The bed was semi-double size with plenty of space to sleep comfortably. There were soft flat pillows and hard and high pillows.

There was a table between the beds, with a phone and a memo set. In addition to the alarm, there are outlets on both sides. Also, the bedside table lights are dimmable, so you can change the brightness.

There was also a table and two armchairs by the bed.

There was a big window at the back of the room.

The window could only be cracked.

From my room I could see Osaka Castle perfectly and it was amazing! The Osaka-jo Hall is right in front of me, so I thought it would be convenient to return late at the concert. I couldn’t see far on the first day because of the rain, but the next day it was sunny and I could see Abeno Harukas.

Beer, sake and soft drinks were also prepared as a minibar (for a fee) in the refrigerator.

There is an all-day dining “SATSUKI” on the 1st floor where I had breakfast. It usually seems to be buffet style, but when I stayed it was served as a set menu of Japanese or Western food.

The staff were all very friendly.

This is the Japanese set, and I was able to choose rice or porridge.

This is the Western set. For Western food, you can choose from 3 types of freshly baked bread and 2 types of salad dressing. You can choose from 4 types of egg dishes, and in the case of omelets, you can also choose the ingredients inside. I don’t know if I can replace the bread, but I wish I had explained in advance. In both cases, you can choose from 6 types of drinks before meals, and coffee or tea is included separately.
