Positief: Personeel en service, staat van de accommodatie en faciliteiten
Come for the onsen, not the room
The hotel isn't all that close to Shin-Osaka (the station where the shinkansen arrives), however, we wanted to go to Osaka to visit the aquarium and to watch a baseball game at the Tokyo Dome. The hotel is very close to these attractions, and also directly connected to downtown (take the pink subway line). So in that regard the location was very nice.
The room is very small actually, as two tall people and with two suitcases it was a challenge to move around. If you only intend to spend time in the hotel for sleeping, than it is fine. The bathroom was also small and our shower curtain was a bit moldy, and there aren't many amenities. However, because you can make unlimited use of the onsen, we only used the bathroom to brush our teeth. We went there every morning and evening, and there is plenty of room to shower, wash, with all the shampoo and face lotions that you need. The onsen is really nice, there are two baths and every day it switches which one is for men, and which one is for women. As a European, it is a bit strange to be naked, but you get used to it very quickly and it is very relaxing.
There was free coffee, which was nice, and there is a washing machine and dryer and vending machines.
