Daiwa Roynet Hotel Osaka-Kitahama

Second time in the same group hotel, it lives up to expectation. Very conveniently situation. The only trouble we had was during booking with Trip.com. It shouldn't have allowed us to check out the booking when we did indicate 2 pax traveling.

This hotel is located very close to a metro entrance/exit (just 1 min walk) if you take the brown color K (Sakaosuji Line). This line is also convenient for going to tourist attractions like Donbori, Namba, Shinsaibashisuji, etc. (about 15-20 mins). The room was good enough for 3 guests (although all beds are closed together), but for us 3 girls were okay. The best facility was the bathroom, which is clean and neat, equipped with a bath tub and a shower area. Free bath salt, bathing agent(powder), bath towels, amenities, etc. are available at the lobby. Ice machine and coin laudary are located at certain floors. Overall staff services are good and polite. Rate was good and reasonable.

Was let down a bit by this place. Check-in procedure was very confusing with desk service to check your passport and explain the policies, then they give you a blank card to go and self-serve your check-in this rest of the way. No safe in room which is uncommon for a hotel of this type. Housekeeping procedure also a bit of a mess, quite confusing. Nice and quiet, but wouldn't stay here again.
