＠RLiS_house通天閣 — Hotel in Osaka

(also posted to Agoda)

Our three-night stay in this AirBnB was quite comfortable. The front security system, clean lobby, and extra security to get to our rooms made our room feel quiet and safe compared to the rather busy and rowdy street below.

The climate in our room was nice and cozy with the heating system being adequate. Bathroom and shower were functional, and kitchen was equipped to reheat food and cook instant noodles.

Bedding was clean and comfortable. There was adequate storage for 3 carry on luggages or duffle bags while still being able to walk around. The facility felt modern and newly refreshed/renovated.

There are a few downsides to note about our stay. Firstly, the wifi was extremely slow. We found it necessary to use our data to load menus and Tabelog. We also found that there was a major lack of basic storage, such as shelves to place our clothes while in the shower or a place to set up the clothes drier (we eventually fit it in the shower, albeit it was very awkwardly balanced and lopsided). Lastly, the beds did not have nightstands which made storing phones and glasses of water difficult. There was also a lack of power outlets which made charging difficult. The left side bed needed to use the plug on the opposite wall, while the right side bed needed to reach over to the left side to use the plug.

This last note is mainly for groups of more than two. The larger bed cannot comfortably fit two friends (married couples may be different). The blanket is much too small (essentially the exact footprint of the bed) and the lack of outlets and nightstands make the leftmost person much less comfortable.

Overall, if I was in a party of 2 or 1 + a couple I would come again. If I am looking to stay with more than 2 people or for more than a few days I would look elsewhere for...

Price: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost the cheapest I could find. Tidiness: ⭐⭐ I saw a cockroach came from the toilet. This is the first time I see a cockroach in a Japanese hotel or BnB. Plastic package on the floor when I arrived. (Can be seen in photos) Some places in the room are dusty. Environment: ⭐⭐⭐ People in this area are not very Japanese. Some of them are quite rude. I even saw a man(quite sure he is not a tourist) spit into the plants. Maybe there are so many tourists around, places...

Super convenient location. Close to food and most important is sandwich between the rail stations. One is closer than the other but both close enough haul luggage.

Self serve check in at precisely 3pm, otherwise the tablet to check in doesn't recognize your reservation yet. Room is clean and new condition. We've stayed at different RLiS locations and both clean and...
