The location is good, just near the National Bunraku Theater and very close to Exit 7 of Nipponbashi Station. It is not far from Kuromon Market and Dotonbori. Shinsaibashi and Namba are within walking distance, and you can walk through the underground shopping street on rainy days.When you go out, you have to hand over the room key to the front desk for safekeeping. There is a tall middle-aged supervisor at the front desk who is very enthusiastic and friendly. He even went in and got a big umbrella to lend me on a rainy day.There are various free drinks and tea bags on the first floor. There is also a microwave for heating.

I think this might be because the buildings in Osaka are so close together no light can squeeze between. They advertised a "breakfast" but don't expect much. The morning offerings consisted of some bite-sized rolls with various fillings, juice, and a coffee machine. The coffee from the machine was tasty, the orange juice cold and fresh, and there were plenty of other foods...
