Best Western Osaka Tsukamoto

Reception staff are absolutely lovely - courteous, cheerful, friendly and helpful. Arigatou gozaimasu! Room well-appointed, with everything you would need, and scrupulously clean. I borrowed an iron, and was able to keep it in my room for the whole stay. Bed was comfortable, and heating worked well. Free coffee was decent quality. I didn't have the breakfast, but it looked very good (lots of savoury Japanese options). Location is fantastic. Central, a few minutes from Osaka Station on the Metro, and in a brilliant area with lots of really good restaurants, supermarkets (including Life), and bars. Really atmospheric and authentic. I've stayed in lots of hotels all over Japan, and I think this is my favourite. Such good quality for a really low price!

It was a fantastic stay, but the only negative was that although I was on a non-smoking floor, there was the occasional smell of smoke wafting in (possibly coming through the A/C vents?). It was only very slight and didn't really bother me for very long/very many times (I'm very sensitive to this kind of smell, so I don't think it'd be a big problem to most people).
