Rooms were the size of an apartment. The view was fantastic. The next time we come to Osaka, this is definitely the place we will stay again. Thank you from Canada
I love the property and the location near a local train station that connects to Universal Studio and downtown Osaka. The apartment is larger than any hotel I could have found in the area for the price. I will definitely be using this rental next year when I return to Osaka if it's available during my vacation time.

Good location
Short walk to train station
Good and cheap public parking nearby
Reasonable walk to Universal Studio
Every convenient location, especially if you plan to visit UFJ. JR station is t min away and a convenient store near the station. The property was clean and very spacious. The quality of amenities are more than I expected. The entrance to the hot spring next door was included. I do recommend this place to the others.
Really nice and spacious rooms. Excellent breakfast with a nice view. Easy access to trains ( Ajikawaguchi Station), one stop to get on the Osaka loop line ( making it really easy to get to Kobe, Nara and Kyoto ), Keyless entry is nice room feature no fumbling or losing entry cards. I'll return without a doubt.

Felt barron and bare, away from everything. Room was clean and large, view was nice, breakfast plain. No hotel staff ro ask for assistance
Great stay, very clean and tidy, perfect location for Universal and generously sized rooms. Seamless, although it is self-serviced so if you have any issues would be difficult to contact someone.
The room was perfect for a family of 4. All of the amenities we needed were in the room. The location was close to Universal and easy to get to the train. The staff didn’t speak English but were very responsive to email. I would highly recommend for a family wanting to vacation in Osaka.

We cleaned our own room. Staff were really nice though and the shared areas like the gym were great.
Staff was remarkably efficient and so responsive to emergencies (we had a fire practice onsite). Property was clean and brought a sense of family and togetherness to share with all guests and if wanted to mingle a bit and share their memories together. Thank you for making our stay feel like we were not alone and family is always near. "1World"...to care is to clean and protect what is most important :)

Great stay, large clean room, spacious bathroom and nice views on balcony. Easy check in, building was super clean and tidy, close to the train station as well.
Onsen is great but shared with the public too; so it does get busy and with a lot of locals. It’s a really nice facility with sauna, cold bath, honey bath, outside bathtubs and a carbonated bath to name a few.
Overall would definitely stay again and recommend, especially if you’re going to universal.
