Kawarayamachi Crystal hotel — Hotel in Osaka

My husband and I stayed here in March/April time for our 2 week holiday over cherry blossom season.||It was our cheapest hotel as all the others were 4 stars and this one was a 2 star. And we definitely felt it!||The room was tiiiiiny and we were in one of the bigger rooms! The bed filled up the entire room so there wasn't much walk around space.

I had plan to stay 3 nights, but only 1 night due to typhoon hagibis, we must go to tokyo.|First, i suggest to book via agoda because booking.com only book and pay at property. |Check in time is after 4 PM, its too long to wait, check out time is 10 AM. You can put lugage until time check in while walk in surround there.|The location is near with grave, park, shrine, and station tanimachi 9 chome.|I try to walk from namba to this hotel, around 30 minutes.|A little bit far from minimarket if you need to buy snack or water. |But they said that water from tap in the room can be drink depands on person taste. The room is clean, toilet is clean, and a little bit big size than apartment in osaka.|Suit for 2 people. They have AC and heater too.|This place is cold and cool when in the morning, and the street is ups and down from the station. Recommended for...
