Summary

I had a nice stay at this hotel. Because it is a hotel that has been around for more than 25 years, there are places that are a little old, but it is cleaned well and comfortable stay at. It takes about 10 minutes on foot from Osaka station and it is a hotel that is recommended to those who are looking to stay at a hotel that is located in a quiet area.
