8/10 Very good

Great hotel but with a few misses (for me)
The property is conveniently located right above a subway exit and just a few stops from main stations like Namba and Osaka-Umeda etc.
I also liked the fact that it's not in the middle of the touristy areas although that meant there are less shops around but there's still a Family Mart right downstairs.
Check in and out was relatively hassle-free with self service check-in/out machines.
The room is nice, clean and looks rather new with daily housekeeping although they did miss clearing out used teabags on one day.
I took a room with a king-sized bed but it was actually just two singles put together, which meant I ended up only sleeping on one side of the bed as the middle bit was uncomfortable to sleep on. So maybe next time I would just take a single room.
There is no water dispenser in the property and I had to go to the reception daily to get my daily ration of one bottled water (as I'm travelling solo), which to me was quite the hassle. I also stayed at Royal Park Canvas in Nagoya and they provided the usual 2 bottles of water daily in the room when they refreshed the room. I wonder about the inconsistent protocol between the properties.
Also comparing with the Nagoya property, the range of amenities that you pick up at the reception are slightly different but that could be due to stock availability at the moment.
