This is a basic hotel, not a 4 star or premium. It's in a back street, like 15-20 minutes walking to all the sights, very close to Namba shrine. The rooms are small and they don't clean them, only after 3 days of staying. They just change your towels and trash if you leave it out the door... so as I said, not very premium.
