1. Breakfast was very good at 1540yen per person. Good spread.  2. All front desk staff were very polite n professional especially a male staff by the name of 中田 who was very gentle, patient and polite and could communicate in basic English.  3. Provided charging cables for phones and gadgets in the room 4. Nice library corner with lots of anime series 5. Comfortable room.  Bathroom is small but well designed for comfortable use.  6. The best thing is the hotel entrance is just right next to the exit 4 of the subway.  Very strategic location to travel by train/subway to the tourists attractions places. Kuromon market, Dotonbori, Shinsabashi shopping street are within walking distance and within the same vicinity. 

The staff were very friendly and helpful. I liked that it was a comfortable room for a good price with all of the amenities that I needed and in a very good location in Osaka. I was able to walk to many great spots in the city, and there were several train stations nearby. It's a very utilitarian kind of room, which is perfect for my needs. I also like that they offer cheaper rooms if you don't need the room to be cleaned while you are there (and is just cleaned between guests).

The hotel is located just above Nagahoribashi station which is very convenient when getting around. You don't have to walk far to grab a bite to eat because there are several restaurants located nearby. One ramen restaurant is located on the corner of the hotel just outside and there is a club just across the hotel. Walking distance to Dotonbori which we loved! We mainly chose this hotel because of the location and easy access to the metro. They had amenities located in lobby free of charge and several vending machines for beverages. Breakfast was delicious and I loved the spread, soup, curry salad some entrees and breads. Beverages served as well. Hotel Staff were very courteous and polite. Overall our stay was pleasant for the price we paid.

whilst the room was small. it was perfect for a solo traveller. I put my bag open against the window and had space to move around the other parts of the room. I loved the bathroom. especially the bath, it was perfect after a long day of walking. I requested my room not be cleaned for my 5 day stay, they placed fresh towels on the door every day. they did need to clean the room on one of the days.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Ark Hotel Osaka Shinsaibashi during my trip to Japan, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed with the overall experience. The hotel's location was fantastic, situated in the heart of Osaka's bustling Shinsaibashi district. It was just a short walk to the nearest train station, making it easy to explore the city's top attractions, including the famous Dotonbori street and Osaka Castle. The rooms were spacious, modern, and comfortable, with all the necessary amenities to make my stay pleasant. The bed was cozy, and I appreciated the complimentary toiletries and Wi-Fi access. What really stood out to me was the hotel's customer service. The staff was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and always went the extra mile to ensure my stay was enjoyable. They provided useful information about the local area, helped me navigate around the city, and even made restaurant recommendations.
