Superb hotel. Will use again

Great hotel room, everything is neatly thought out to cater for the small space. Staff are very friendly and the breakfast is great if included in the package. Location is perfect for going out in the area and close to the subway.

Very convenient location. Right on Dotonbori, 3 min walk to the subway entrance, Lawsons just across the street. Rooms are well thought out. There are small shelves with a hanging area on the wall. Small shelf over the mini fridge with a plug in. Our 24 inch suitcases slid under the bed which gave us a lot of floor space back. Our favorite hotel during our Japan trip, no complaints.

Nice modern hotel right off the main area of Dotonburi. The staff were extremely helpful and even rushed to get our luggage sorted for a luggage transfer which was a life saver. The hotel also offers a free self-serving food and drinks bar which we took advantage off. Overall we loved our stay and would happily stay again!

The vessel inn is 5 minutes from Dōtonbori - but that means the area is super crowded, dirty and crazy busy. Honestly, thats down to the tourist (I have found the rest of Japan to be incredibly clean and the locals most welcoming and polite). Fortunately, the hotel was quiet, the rooms clean, and the staff spoke good English and were incredibly helpful. The rooms are small (like most Japanese rooms) but the beds were way too firm for us (much like sleeping on plywood). Sadly, the beds are a dealbreaker for me, so I wouldn’t book again.

The staff was very helpful and answered all questions. The included breakfast buffet was incredible. The size of the room was larger than I expected from a hotel in Japan. The area is very touristy but very convenient near a major train station, shopping, restaurants and bars. It was very easy to get to Kansai Airport from this hotel.
