Experience of the stay
For women traveling alone, it’s great that you can go directly to the large bath from the women-only elevator.
You can ride the elevator in your room wear and reach the floor for the women’s large bath without encountering any men. I thought this was a very nice service.
The large bath's lockers are equipped with secure locks, which I find very reassuring.
Many large baths often only have baskets available, with no lockers that lock, so this is a great service.
From the TV monitor in the room, you can see the congestion status of the large bath, so you can bathe during less crowded times.
On the first night, I used the large bath around 7 p.m. and had it all to myself, allowing me to soak in peace.
Both the room and the large bath were clean and well-maintained.
On the second night, since I was out late, I used the bathroom in my room.
The card for the women-only elevator must be exchanged every day at the lobby, so I think it would be more convenient if it could be valid for the entire length of the stay.
There is a complimentary coffee service next to the lobby. You can drink it in the lobby area with a paper cup or take it back to your room.
I’ve come to enjoy the differences between hotels suitable for family trips, hotels for two, and those good for solo travelers. I feel this place is perfect for women traveling alone or those staying while working.
The front desk staff were also very pleasant and accommodating.
Experiences during the trip
I stayed for two nights in Osaka for a meet-up and other plans.
On the first day, my plans changed, so I had dinner nearby and spent a relaxing evening at the hotel, enjoying the large bath. There was a delicious Western-style restaurant just a 2-minute walk from the hotel, where the shrimp fried rice was made fresh, attracting regular customers.
I have more places I want to visit again for memorable meals.
For the second day’s meet-up in the Umeda area, I used Go Taxi.
I enjoyed the bustling nightlife of Osaka as I visited several bars.
There are convenience stores along the hotel street, and the roads are well-lit, making it safe to go out even at night. With Family Mart and 7-Eleven nearby, you have plenty of options!
(The vegetable sticks from the convenience store are perfect for the vegetable shortage while traveling.)
There are many restaurants that are easy for solo diners, and the Western-style restaurant was full of solo patrons as well.
There are also late-night cake shops and bars along the street, making me wish I could stay another night.
