Book your room online and its cheaper than a love hotel. You get standard issue accommodations (shown above), right down to the "what exactly is it?" pattern on the bedspread. Free wifi, though. And more importantly, no sex swings or spinning beds plus the complimentary breakfast is pretty kickass. There's something I find very reassuring about munching on Cocoa Krispies in a foreign land that gets me amped for the day.
The counter staff speak excellent English and reservations can be made through their website. I went through South Korea-based AsiaRooms.com and found the price to be a bit better with all my questions and the reservations handled within the hour.
The excellent location cannot be stressed enough. About 80 percent of the restaurants and watering holes profiled recently by our brother site Jaunted are within easy walking/stumbling distance and the venerable octopus and blues joint TakoTako King is just across the street.
Yes, the rooms are nothing special but in a city like Osaka with its plentiful rampaging weirdness, sometimes its just nice to have a haven where the special can't find you.
Budget as it may be, the room comes equipped with one of those space age Japanese toilet seats with the adjustable seat warmer and for the adventurous, a two position spray nozzle. Go ahead, you know you want to.
Some of the better hotel wall art I've seen. No pastel ocean scenes or fall leaves for these guys. Nope, its his and her matching abstract squares. Nicely modern, goes great with the polished chrome on the nightstand.
