Excellent Sotetsu location, modern building that's got everything you'd expect from the hotel chain. Highly recommended and the staff were very helpful, some spoke English which is highly appreciated. Would happily stay here again, thank you.

I stayed here for 4 nights. The room was clean however the hotel had some disadvantages: the elevator smelled bad, the hallways also smelled old, the room for the laundry had old appliances. I stayed also in Osaka at the same hotel branche and it was significantly different: fresh smell everywhere and new appliances.

Close to restaurants, Starbucks and 7...
