My stay at Hotel Ekichika Nagahoribashi was quite pleasant overall. The location is unbeatable, just next to the subway station, making it easy to explore Osaka. However, I found the bathrooms a bit cramped, which might be a concern for taller guests. The cleanliness was decent, though some areas could use more attention.

I had a decent stay at Hotel Ekichika Nagahoribashi. The location was fantastic, just steps away from the metro and filled with nearby restaurants. However, the sound insulation was a bit lacking, as I could hear noises from the streets even on the 9th floor. Overall, it was a good choice for my short trip but there were some minor issues to note.

Breakfast was fairly basic with limited variety, featuring the same options each day, which was a bit disappointing considering the price. I feel it could benefit from a wider selection and perhaps some fresh fruits.
