"【Scored a great deal! Osaka hotel prices plummeted, but it was a bit of a bumpy ride 😂】
Initially, I booked a single room for ¥311/night. Out of habit, I checked again right before my trip and suddenly saw the price drop to ¥211! I quickly canceled and rebooked. If I had added the Haruka Express package, the total would have been ¥288.99, still cheaper than the original price – what a steal!
However, on arrival day, I somehow missed the Haruka and ended up taking the Keihan Railway. After exiting the station, navigation went completely haywire – Apple Maps and Amap pointed me in random directions, and Google Maps sent me to the apartment building across the street… But all's well that ends well, and I eventually checked in without a hitch.
The hotel is small but has everything you need, and most importantly, it's super clean! There are tea bags at the front desk, disposable toiletries available for self-service by the elevator, and a free coffee machine. The tourist tax is ¥200/night, paid at check-in.
The life-saver was the bedside charger with 4 ports – it handled my phone, camera, and headphones. There was even a back massager, which was a huge bonus after a day of extensive walking!
The location is super convenient, with three convenience stores within a 2-3 minute walk, so late-night snack runs were a breeze.
Overall, for ¥211 in Osaka, getting this kind of quality is incredible value for money. I'll definitely come back next time!"
