Location was a strong point, close to Doton Plaza with transportation access, access also to restaurants and scenic canal. Property functional , staff helpful but experience limited as little english spoken (understandable since this is Japan). Towels thin and worn but clean. This is a ryokan, so seating all on the floor which may be difficult for those with hip/knee problems.

직원들 모두 친절하시고, 매일 방을 깨끗하게 청소해주셔서 좋았습니다. 물도 호텔 안 자판기에서 사는 게 밖에서 사는 것보다 저렴해서 좋았습니다. 다만, 세면대를 사용하면 화장실 바닥에 물이 새는 부분이 조금 아쉬웠네요.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff were very friendly and spoke English, which made communication easy. What I liked most was the location—just a short walk from the train station and very close to Dotonbori and major shopping areas. The hotel is a traditional Japanese ryokan with beautiful tatami flooring, offering a truly authentic experience. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the smell in the hallway and elevator carpets, which I feel could use an upgrade. Other than that, everything was great! It's a safe and convenient place to stay, especially if you plan to explore Osaka's top sights and shops.

Hotel is located in a quiet area but still close to all main attractions. Room was clean and big enough for two people. It even had a table and two chairs. The ryokan was comfortable to sleep on surprisingly. Check in was very friendly. They showed us the room. Cannot use outdoor shoes inside the room but they have slippers. Would recommend for a unique experience.

살짝 노후한 건물이었어요. 난방이 잘 안되었던 것 같지만 나름대로 만족했습니다! 대욕장을 사용할 수 있다는게 큰 장점인 것 같아요. 관리하시는 분들 모두 친절하셔서 숙박하기 좋았어요! 다만 아침을 못먹었다는 점이 아쉽습니다 ㅠㅠ 아침 먹고 싶었는데 다음에...간다면 아침도 같이 먹어보고싶어요. 하루 잘 자고 갑니다!

아이와 함께 숙박 하려보니 침대난간도 걱정되고 일본은 호텔도 작아.. 료칸 다다미방으로 호텔를 구하다가 여기로 결정했어요.! 생각보다 방도 크고 이불도 좋고 직원분들도 친절하시니 좋았습니다. 조용하고 1층에 목욜시설은 아담하지만 이용해보니 좋더라구요!! 화장실은 예상한대로 작았으니 그래도 깨끗하고 이용하는데 문제 없었습니다. 잘 쉬고 잘 놀다 갑니다.!!!

가족과 함께 가기 좋은 숙소

첫 일본 여행에 좋은 기억을 남겨준 숙소입니다. 성인 5명이라 혹시 좁진 않을까 했지만 충분히 편하게 지냈습니다! 체크인이나 다른 요청사항을 물어보기에 큰 어려움 없이 의사소통 가능했어요. (저는 영어, 일본어 매우 못하지만 거의 알아들었습니다.) 대욕탕은 밤마다 갈정도로 피로를 풀기에 좋았습니다. 도톤보리나 지하철 역과도 가깝고, 근처에 편의점도 많아요. 숙소에 음료 자판기뿐만 아니라 맥주 자판기도 있어서 편리했습니다. 숙소 시설, 방음, 직원분들까지 모두 좋았습니다. 일본 다다미방을 원하시는 분들을 꼭 가보세요~ 이불도 도톰해서 큰 불편함 없이 바닥에서 잘 수 있어요!

단점, 장점이 공존하는 곳 여기가 최선인지 잘 생각해 보세요

딱 가격 만큼의 료칸.. 인지 다다미 깔린 모텔인지... 다 좋은 글만 써있는거 같아 솔직후기 적습니다.(저는 귀찮아서 후기 거의 적지 않습니다. 그런데 적는 이유가 있겠지요?) 예약하고 크게 후회한 것 부터 적습니다. (1) 주차장 문제 : 가족여행이고 한여름이라 대중교통 이용이 힘들거 같아서 차량을 랜탈을 했고, 따라서 숙박 예약시 주차장 있는 곳을 반드시 선택해야 했다(일본은 랜트카는 싼데, 주차비가 굉장히 비싸니깐..) 막상 도착하니 주차공간이 3~4대정도 밖에 없다. 미리 예약을 하지 않으면 주차가 안되고, 예약이 되더라도 1500엔/1일 추가요금을 내어야 한다더라, 당신은 미리 예약하지 않았으니 주차 불가능!!!(내가 예약한 호텔스 닷컴 어디에는 주차가능 표시되어있지, 주차장을 미리 예약해야 된다거나 미리 전화로 확인해야 된다는 문구는 없었고, 안내 메일도 오지 않았다. 종업원에게 항의하니.. 후기나 댓글에 보면 있다고 한다. 온라인 시스템에서 지원하지 않는 것은 자기들 책임이 아니라고 한다. 4일간 주변 주차장 이용요금만 9,000엔 정도 추가로 썼다.. 이럴거면 더 좋은 호텔을 예약했지...ㅜㅜ) (2) 조식 문제 : 목요일(8/15) 도착해서 체크인할때 토, 일요일 조식을 예약하고 싶다고 했다. 그랬더니 하루전날 이야기 하고, 계산하면 된다고 하더라.. 금요일 저녁 9시쯤 숙소로 돌아와서 인당 1100엔 지급하고 토요일 조식은 먹었다... 그러나!! 토요일 저녁 10시쯤 와서 일요일 조식 먹고싶다고 하니.. 안된다고 한다. 일요일은 주방인원이 2명 뿐이라 더이상 예약이 안된다고 한다.. 어이가 없어서 목요일날 일요일 조식 예약한다고 했을때 전날 이야기 하면 된다고 하고. 왜 안되냐고 하니 직원이 출근하지 않아서 어쩔 수 없단다.... 뭐 이런 시스템이 다 있는지... 첫날 주차장문제로 여행 스타트부터 기분 나빴다가, 마지막날 조식문제로 마무리로 기분이 다시 나빠졌다... 엉망인 시스템, 직원들은 규정이 그러니 자기 책임이 아니다... 란 답변... 그래서 이 료칸을 비추천합니다. 2. 숙박하고 좋았던 점 (1) 4인용으로 다다미 10장짜리 방을 줘서 일본, 오사카 치고는 큰방이였다. (2) 1층 대욕장을 24시까지 쓸수있도록 시간 연장을 해줘서 여행중에 늦게 귀가했음에도 이용할 수 있었다.(다만, 청소시 락스를 너무 많이 사용해서 욕탕에 락스냄새때문에 코가 많이 아팠다.) -- 온천수는 아닌거 같음..(확실하지 않음) 3. 도톤보리랑 살짝 가까워서 도보 이동은 가능한 수준이라 할 수 있음(처음엔 괜찮았는데, 여행 중 하루종일 많이 걷다보니, 왔다갔다하는게 덥고, 다리가 아파서 좀 멀다고 느꼈음) 4. 바로 윗블럭 라멘맛집(낮), 아래블록 철판야키 전문점(밤)이 있어.. 식사에 좀 편리함 5. 도보여행, 조식 필요없는 이용자는 조용한 휴식 가능 6.일본인들의 친철한 매너는 기본적으로 어디든 비슷해서 특별히 여기가 더 친절하였나.. 하는 생각이 드네요.
