"I've stayed at this hotel for three years in a row, previously booking through an 'A' app. This time, I booked via Ctrip. The location isn't in a bustling commercial district. After arriving at the airport, head to the second floor for the subway station and take the Nankai Rapid Express (don't take the fancy 'Haruka' train; if you accidentally sit in a reserved seat without a ticket, you'll be fined!) to Tengachaya. From Tengachaya, transfer to the Sakaisuji Line to Kitahama. Exit from Exit 3, and the hotel is right across the street.
Facilities: The bathroom has a separate wet and dry area. I recommend getting a twin room; it's a bit larger and more comfortable, don't skimp out! 😉
Housekeeping: It's clean. For room cleaning or towel changes, you need to decide, then stick a card on the door.
To get to Umeda, exit the hotel, turn left 👈🏻 and walk straight for about 10 minutes (I walk slowly) to Yodoyabashi Station, which is one stop away. To get to Shinsaibashi, exit the hotel, turn right 👉🏻, cross the road, and turn left 👈🏻. It's very convenient to catch a train from Kitahama. There are many restaurants nearby. Torikizoku (yakitori/grilled skewers), and Shichirin Yakiniku (Wagyu BBQ) – if you have a group, go for the all-you-can-eat, if not, order à la carte. You can always add more later. The meat is rich and can get a bit greasy. There are convenience stores all along the street, which is handy. If all else fails, exit the hotel, turn right, cross the street, and turn right again 👉🏻. There's a shopping mall with a large supermarket downstairs. They have everything, but they don't accept WeChat Pay or Alipay. Remember to bring cash or cards. It's best to bring your own reusable bags when shopping in Japan; it's not about the money, but everything just gets thrown away in the end, haha! 😃
The hotel has a washing machine on the second floor for 400 JPY, and a dryer for 100 JPY. Ice is free and self-serve. There's a free coffee machine on the first floor, and complimentary toiletries, tea, and daily necessities are plentiful by the elevators."
