6/10 Good

Basic
Basic small to Midsized hotel between Namba and Shinsaibashi stations (Shinsaibashi sta was easier to navigate with luggage via Daimaru Dept store escalators).
The Room was small as expected, but beds and pillows were not as hard as some Japanese hotels. The breakfast buffet was average with a mix of Japanese and western style dishes. Breakfast area was small and seating uncomfortable (like they wanted you in and out quickly). Only 2 washers and dryers for all 200 rooms, but found a cheaper coin op right across the street which I ended up using. Most annoying thing with this hotel was there wasn’t any seating area in the lobby. When faced with tiny hotel room sizes, i find it nice to have a relaxing lobby area. Another thing that irked me was the only non-Japanese TV channel was BBC News which had the most annoying broadcasters who just repeated the same 3 news stories all day and night. Note The hotel other APA Shinsaibashi (non-Nishi) is on the same street (a half a block closer to the station) and was bigger…did not check it out, but thought it could offer more/better amenities like an actual lobby and a more comfortable breakfast area.
