HOTEL MYSTAYS Sakaisuji Honmachi (Osaka, Japan)

Unlike some hotels where they don't clean your room until you check out, guests found the cleaning service here thorough with a towel change and emptying of the trash. The hotel took cleanliness very seriously, guests say.

Management took care of issues and answered guests' questions - and spoke English well. Visitors praised their friendliness and helpfulness. One guest said she had left cash in her room and housekeeping cleaned the room, but didn't touch the money.

Guests liked that they had access to Wi-Fi, a dehumidifier as well as a kitchenette if they wanted to cook. You can also order a massage service, which some guests said was a blessing after weeks of travelling.

The hotel is not centrally located, leading some guests to say that it was tough to get to the main Osaka attractions. It takes a bit of walking to get to local subway stations and there weren't any JR stations were nearby. The neighborhood didn't have many bars or restaurants either.

Be prepared for tiny rooms. Space is a premium in Japan, so you can expect your rooms to be smaller than what you see in Western hotel rooms. Many commented that they could barely open their suitcases in the smaller, cramped rooms.

Although Wi-Fi is provided, the system is set up to log you out after a certain period of inactivity. It required guests to log back in each time, which was inconvenient.
