When we went to Osaka in late November, the city was crowded with tourists, especially around major attractions and Osaka station. It was thus very pleasant to stay slightly further away from the hustle and bustle on the quieter streets. Moreover, the hotel is still connected by a short and frequent shuttle ride (10-20 min depending on traffic) or a short walk (around 15 min) from JR Osaka station. Note that the shuttle runs only up to 8:40pm from the station so there is a high chance that you might need to walk from the station at night. Somebody mentioned in the comments that the room was small, I would add that it is likely due to not so thoughtful design. One has a feeling of everything being in the way of something else. For example, the toilet and shower are in two separate "booths" and the shower rug is placed right at the entrance of the room. The sink is however inside the room and not in another booth. There was also no service for the room during our stay (2 nights) and not even towels were replenished by default. Besides a tiny desk that serves as a counter-top for us, there were also no other drawers or basically any place to put your luggage, so even our luggage (2 backpacks plus a carry-on) was always in our way. This is really smaller than the usual small in normal Japanese business hotels. Nevertheless, the dining hall that serves breakfast, drinks and lunch offers reasonably good food at good prices (breakfast at 400 yen, drinks at 300 yen, lunch at 800 yen). It is a good alternative if you decide to avoid the crowd that day. Another good point is that the room and buildings (reception, dining and rooms located in 2 separate buildings) are all new, modern and sparkling clean. There is a time-sharing (to separate genders) public bath at the ground floor of the hotel building so in case you don't like the smallness of the shower, there is still another choice. Unfortunately, the time constraint has made it difficult for us to use it this time.

La navette gratuite de l'hôtel vous y conduit confortablement de et vers la gare d'Osaka. Vous sauve la promenade. La réception, le hall et le restaurant sont situés en face du bâtiment. Situé dans un quartier calme mais à distance de marche du skybuilding d'Umeda. Idéal pour le dîner et une vue de la ville après le dîner. Les chambres sont confortables mais vraiment très petites. Quand vous pensez à une petite chambre d'hôtel au Japon, pensez un peu plus petit et c'est la pièce ici. Pareil pour la douche. En dehors de cela, des lits et des oreillers confortables ainsi que des serviettes. Petit déjeuner pas génial. C'est un choix d'entrées occidentales très limité. Juste un petit pain, confiture, café / thé et une salade. Vous êtes également offert un petit déjeuner de style japonais. Rechercher vraiment bien mais pour les non-japonais peut ne pas être votre choix dans la matinée. Je préférerais acheter un croissant et des petits pains à la gare d’Osaka ou ailleurs dans le centre-ville.
