Shin-Umeda Central Hills

This is a private lodging in a normal rental apartment for inbound tourists. Since it is unmanned, there is no check-in and you must first confirm the code to unlock the entrance. There is a key box at the entrance, which you can unlock and enter, but it took about 20 minutes to find the reservation code, searching for emails in the cold, reading the manual as there is no phone number to contact, and arriving at the room. The room was not used much, so the bathroom and washbasin had a terrible sewage smell. Although I had booked for two nights, I could not stand it and instead booked a different hotel and moved there. Also, personally, because it is an apartment room, it has a subtle feeling of use, unlike a hotel, and it is very unpleasant. I cannot recommend it unless there are very good reasons.

It feels like a small apartment, with everything you need, including a refrigerator, washing machine, and microwave. The location is also easy to find, very close to Osaka Station, less than a kilometer walk. The only difference is that the door lock opens in a different direction. If you insert it, you have to turn it to the left to unlock it.
