Great value

Staff was friendly and room was clean. We were in a traditional futon room which was a nice experience. Great value for stay. I forgot some personal items when checking out and the staff held it for me to pickup the next day.

万博に行くために予約しましたが、安いし夢洲までのアクセスは良いし、とってもよかったです。 部屋は和室表記でしたが、フカフカのフローリング材でした。トイレとお風呂が別なのが素晴らしい！喫煙部屋でしたが、就寝スペースと別に喫煙できたので、快適でした。 アメニティが歯ブラシ、ブラシが50円。部屋にケトルはありますが、ペットボトルのお水などはありません。その他の簡易的な基礎化粧品（化粧水、乳液、メイク落とし、洗顔）入浴剤、ティーバッグは日中ホテルのフロントから自分で取ります。1日目は23時チェックインだったのでありませんでした。共用スペースにレンジや漫画もあり、長期ステイも苦にならなそうです。 朝ごはんなどのキッチン施設がない分、ちゃんとそのほかに全振りして素晴らしいホテルでした！歩いて行ける本町や淀屋橋側には土日も営業中のベーカリーもあり、ホテルの裏にはローソンやなか卯もありますので、食べ物にも困りません。また大阪に行く際は是非利用したいです。

まず、2021年にリニューアルという事もあってか綺麗で清潔 そして以下の点が高評価ポイント 1:床に布団という斬新さ コレは想像以上に良かった。ビジネスホテルにありがちなピッチピチなベッドメイキングに閉口していたので10日間の滞在が快適 2:バスとトイレ別の部屋 これも良かった 3:ドアを開けて部屋に入る時靴を脱ぐスタイル これも最初ビックリして違和感あったがむしろ自然。 上記3点がこれまでのビジネスホテルにない評価ポイント。もうこれからのビジネスホテルには選択肢として必要かだと思う。加えて 4:500円でレンタルできる人気のコミックス 5:フリーのホットコーヒー 6:打ち合わせで使える明るいミーティングルーム（ここだけ借りるプランもあるらしい） 本当にこれからのビジネスホテルの新しいスタイルだと思う。これからは定宿にしたい
