Hotel Beaver 2 — Hotel in Osaka

The room itself was ok. Clean and comfortable. Just that the sharing toilet is quite smelly. The owner (I assume) was friendly and saw us came in early in the rain and let us check in earlier by 1hr. But beware, front desk are usually closed until 15:00hrs. Public bath and shower room are located at 1st floor. microwave are available. The only down side about the room is the window are not able to open. The location was about 10min to JR Shin Imamiya Station and another kintetsu station. The area itself is considered the most "dangerous" area in Osaka. However I still feel that it is much safer comparing to many other countries. There are just some homeless folk around and I think they are perfectly fine. This hotel is a much better option that hostel for me as I can get my own room and the tatami room are quite spacious and comes with TV and a half sized refrigerator...

This is an hotel for travellers looking for a very cheap, but clean room to sleep. Expect a very small room that contains a traditional Japanese bed and about a foot of free space to walk around it. Showers and toilets are all in common areas. We stayed 9 days. The showers were always clean. For the toilets on the 2nd floor, during half of our stay they were good, but during the second half they often smelled. This was most probably due to the new guests. You can always use the single toilet on the first floor next to the showers. It was always very clean. The neighborhood lightly smells of cigarettes and so will the hotel. The towels provided by the hotel may also faintly smell at first, but the smell should dissipate after first use. It is a relatively poor neighborhood, but still feels safe and people are kind. As for the employees, they are...
