I stayed here for a conference, and it was very accessible from Kansai University, just a quick train ride away. The hotel is in front of the station, making it easy to find, and I appreciated that I could slightly open the window for fresh air. However, the room had a strong smell of cigarette smoke, which was quite unpleasant, even though it was clean overall.

My stay at this hotel was quite an experience. The location made it easy to catch trains to my conference, and the views of the park were lovely. However, I found the rooms to be quite dated, and the smell of cigarette smoke was hard to ignore. While the service was generally okay, it was frustrating that some of the rules were communicated poorly. Overall, it was a decent stay but definitely not without its quirks.

The rooms varied, with one feeling quite old and another showing some signs of renovation. Both were fairly spacious but the bathrooms were quite cramped.

The service at the hotel was hit or miss; housekeepers did their job but communication at the front desk could be confusing due to language barriers.

I recently stayed at this hotel for a conference and while it’s very accessible from Minamisenri station, the room had a significant smell of cigarette smoke that was hard to overlook. The cleanliness was good, but the small size of the rooms is typical for Japan. Overall, it's a convenient spot for business, but the smoking issue was a big drawback for me.

I stayed at this hotel while attending a conference at Kansai University, and its accessibility via train was a highlight. The rooms were generally clean but had a persistent cigarette smell that detracted from the experience. The staff was accommodating, but I encountered some confusing policies regarding non-smoking rooms. Overall, it was a decent place to stay, but some improvements could make it better.

The room was clean, but the overwhelming smell of cigarette smoke was unpleasant. While I appreciated being able to open the window, the air from the air conditioning felt stale. I would rate the comfort a 6.

I had my first trip to Japan and stayed at this hotel, which I found to be clean and well-maintained. The rooms were a bit compact, typical of Japanese hotels, and the furnishings were quite basic. I appreciate the nearby parks for some outdoor exercise, but I was disappointed with the lack of Wi-Fi options and strange smoking policies. Overall, a decent choice for a short stay, especially for business travelers.
