Sotetsu Grand Fresa Osaka-Namba

The location of the hotel itself is great; The Kuromon Market and Dotonbori street are right across the hotel, where you can find street food and restaurants early in the day or late at night. From Dotonbori, you can reach Shinsaibashi shopping street quite easily, and walking down the stretch of Kuromon Market will bring you to Den Den Town. Also, there are 3 convenience stores right around the corner. You can reach the Sakaisuji and Sen-Nichimae Lines fairly easily as the station exit is only 5 minutes away from the hotel. If you are traveling to or from Kyoto (assuming you stay around the Kawaramachi area), staying at this hotel is a very good choice. The room itself is small like most of the hotels you are going to get in cities like Osaka and Tokyo, where there is just enough space to open a piece of large size luggage and you will have to tip-toe around the room to get to the toilet or bed. The bathroom itself is adequately equipped, and the bed is quite comfortable. There is also an air purifier in the room if you feel that the air in the room is very dry or if there are many dust particles.

If you want to check out later, you will have to pay 1,000 yen for each hour of extension. We also do not have many hangers or even a wardrobe where we can hang our clothes. Again, you can work around this by hanging your clothes in the bathroom or stuff them into your luggage (it was not much of an issue for us). The air conditioning is controlled by a knob with no numerical markings on it so you are just going to trial and error with it. On our first day, the room was quite dusty which made the sleep a little uncomfortable, but better on the subsequent nights perhaps due to the air purifier and room service.

Great location , The room is bigger than mostly in Japan

Air condition was a bit too warm on summertime
