A warning to fellow travellers: The photos are far better than the reality. We were so disappointed that we checked out within an hour of arrival, sacrificing our booking to stay elsewhere.
If you are on super tight budget and in a short stay, this might work, but for us, it was a major mistake and not an environment we wanted to spend 7 nights in. Hence making an emergency booking elsewhere and leaving.
While in Dotonbori, it sits on a dingy side street near several brothels. The area felt sketchy. The lobby was disorganised, overflowing with unsecured suitcases from other guests that we had to navigate around to get to the desk.
Upon check-in, we were given only one key for two guests - another red flag for us. Then the locking mechanism for the rooms was frustratingly temperamental, as other guests have reported. This was highly stressful.
The room itself was dingy, tired, and cheap. It felt more like a hostel quality room, not the "vibe" shown online which presents the rooms to be much cosier. There was nothing cosy about the room.
Only one pillow per bed - another disappointment.
Corridors were dark, very narrow, and poorly lit. Added to the seediness of the hotel. There is only one elevator making access slow.
Remarkably, there is no housekeeping for towels; you must drop used ones in a hallway bag and head to reception yourself to get replacements.
We sadly ignored the low review count and took a risk that didn't pay off. Worst hotel I have ever booked.
