The hotel is exceptional and frankly exceeded our expectations. Its minimalist architecture centered on an inner garden is a real highlight. We had a fantastic stay. Everything was perfect, including the public baths and the breakfast. We stayed in a superior room. The location was good, only a few streets away from central metro and bus stations. The room overlooked a quiet street

12 minutes to go to Umeda, center of Osaka, by subway but actually we did like the area of the Fraser Residence better. Reasonably low priced. As a morning runner, less than 500 meters away a baseball court you can run around (350 meters) without worrying about cars, bicycles etc. We made a wash daily while being in the Fraser Residence - perfect.

The staff were so friendly, warm and accommodating. We stayed in the Satsuki room so we had our own bathroom as well as private courtyard that was absolutely stunning to wake up to and really added to the overall experience. You can tell the owners and staff take a lot of pride in their business, as though the inn was old and some things weren't the most up to date, it was always very clean and fully stocked whenever we returned. The location is only a five minute walk to the train/bus station as well as a main road but somehow it still feels tranquil and quiet. Definitely one of the best parts of our stay!

Location was excellent, easy access to JR station and plenty of food options despite the late hours. The vibes of the property was also on point, being an old Japanese-style building. Though I didnt use the lounge much, I could see that alot of thought was put to design the lounge area too.

Very clean, very conveniently located in walking distance from the station, eateries, buses. Tastefully designed with lots of thoughtfulness, tranquil. Made good use of the onsen which was a relief after long days of exploring. Very nice, special breakfast was a nice start to the day. Very professional, courteous staff, I will stay here again and highly recommend! The laundry room was small but the machines are efficient.

Lovely Japanese style experience, very nice room, with everything you need. There is a lot of entertainment options in the common area, including a Play Station, plenty of books and manga.

Loved the design of the hotel. Like being on a cruise ship. The view from our room was gorgeous. Felt luxurious and special! The rooftop bar was spectacular at night. Staff were warm and welcoming. We initially booked 2 nights here, but after the first night, we decided to book in for a 3rd! We had an executive room and had access to the executive lounge with free drinks and food at certain times. It was amazing value! 100% recommend staying here in an executive room :)
