Hotel is very close to Dotonbori and all the eateries and shops in that area. Also close to the Namba station. Overall this is a good hotel to stay if touring Osaka and it's surroundings. The proximity to Namba station is a plus, as it takes you everywhere in Osaka, and straight shot to Nara on the Kintentsu line. The cons were no views (just another building next door), breakfast was ok (7-11 next door had better food), and most importantly, no laundry. So make sure you bring extra extra clothes. If you can deal without those amenities, this hotel will do.
