Welina Hotel Premier Nakanoshima East

The room was tiny. Towels and trash were left outside the door daily, and the staff would leave a bag for us to swap them out ourselves. The table was so small there was nowhere to put anything. When we got back to the hotel, one of us always had to get into bed for the other to move around. On the upside, the shower water pressure was excellent, and the drain worked perfectly. The location was incredibly convenient, no complaints there. Finally, there's a scale downstairs to weigh your luggage, which was a lifesaver – those spring scales are a pain!

Every time I visit, I stay at this hotel. The location is excellent, with convenient transportation. The rooms are spacious, clean, and tidy. Downstairs, there's a 7-Eleven and a drug store, as well as a ramen shop and a yakitori restaurant.

My dream hotel! Staying here for five nights was such a blessing; it significantly boosted the happiness of my entire Kansai trip. It honestly made me so disappointed with the hotels I stayed in afterward. From now on, whenever I come to Osaka, I'm definitely staying here. The room was spacious, and the mattress and bedding were incredibly soft and clean – I slept so comfortably. I especially appreciated the fully enclosed duvet cover, which felt very hygienic (unlike another hotel of the same caliber I stayed in later, where they only used a single sheet between the duvet insert and the bottom sheet. Every time I moved, the sheets, duvet, and cover would all get tangled up – it was disgusting! Plus, the material felt as terrible as curtain fabric; it infuriated me!). The bathroom wasn't huge but was very clean, and all the fixtures were new. There were two bottles of mineral water provided. You need your room card to use the elevator. The view of the river from the window was beautiful, both during the day and at night.
