This hotel in Tsukamoto was decided after repeatedly reading reviews from netizens. Highly recommended, I will consider staying here next time before traveling around.1. Geographical location. Coming out of JR Tsukamoto Station, from the south exit, you can see the eye-catching sign of this hotel about 165 meters to the right. If you want to visit Osaka Castle, take JR one stop to Osaka, and then the options are endless, such as walking around Umeda, taking the subway, bus, etc. From Kansai Airport, you can also take the JR express train or local train to Osaka Station, then transfer to Tokaido or Sanyo Main Line A, and get to the hotel in one stop. The ground is marked and there is an elevator, so carrying luggage is no problem.2. The room facilities are not new, but they are super clean and there are almost no sanitary dead spots. The sheets and pillows all have iron creases. The room is not big, 13 square meters, enough to open a large suitcase. All facilities needed for travel are available. It was also very quiet, with almost no sound except for the heavy closing of the door by the departing traveler.3. Price, less than 900 yuan for 3 nights, which is very suitable compared to Lijiang. I didn’t order breakfast and couldn’t get up.4. The surrounding shops are all very delicious. I have already eaten Hayashi Ramen, which is much better than Ichiran in New York and costs 1,500 yen. I also ate at a sushi restaurant next door. The couple didn't speak English, but the ingredients were fresh. They cost 1,050 yen for 8 pieces of seafood sushi. There is a pharmacy just outside JR, and purchases over 5,000 yen are tax-free with your passport.5. In Osaka, you don’t necessarily have to go to an internet celebrity store. As long as you can find something that can stand in the streets and alleys, it’s definitely not bad. This is the feeling I’ve had over the...
Read moreNice place for the right amount of money. Very good BW Diamond Select recognition. Staff was friendly and proactive in resolving some issues. The wifi wasn’t very convincing but they gave me a Rakuten mobile wifi modem which resolved the problem. I was a bit disappointed when I realized the sometimes precarious noise level from within the hotel. One could actually hear people stomping on the floor above and everyone opening or closing a door on the same floor and from the room above,also the drainage noises. Funnier even, the trains from outside didn’t reach your room, the other people’s noise were . I like the free coffee in the lobby and the rather spacious -08 rooms, the smaller ones looked really cramped, so thanks again for the upgrade. They had a drip coffee machine in the room and all the other things you encounter in Japanese hotels like kettle,air cleaner etc. The cleaning was impeccable, the staff does a meticulous and flawless job. The train station is around 300 meters away, a Life supermarket likewise. Another one (called piatto forte(why italian when no one even speaks english?) ) is around 150 meters away. You can actually walk to Osaka by going to Jouso bridge and walking over the Yodo river, it takes like 45 minutes,really nice walk by the way. Careful , millions of bicycles crossing the way… Keep in mind my pictures are from the biggest room they have, the regular rooms are half size, around 12m2, mine was...
